A judge’s rejection of a police union challenge clears the way for the release of names and pay levels for hundreds of officers.

It’s the sixth fatal officer-involved shooting on Oahu since June, but the first captured on a police body cam.

But low-level offenders, who were supposed to get services instead of jail time, still aren’t eligible for the new program.

HPD officers have been involved in two fatal shootings in a week, and a total of five in 2018.

Officers were serving a search warrant inside a residential high-rise apartment when the shooting occurred.

The HPD streamlines its application process and revamps recruitment messages to get more people to consider a career in law enforcement.

But it’s loaded with former police, prosecutors and judges, raising questions about whether it’s just a rubber stamp.

Officers were trying to serve a protective order in Nanakuli on a convicted felon armed with a shotgun.

At a cost of $3.5 million, Honolulu will equip all its officers with body cameras during the next year — following a step taken by many large urban departments.

The court ruled the city must pay for the defense of HPD officer Ming-Hung Nguyen because he was sued for actions “done in performance of duty.”
