Honolulu Police Commission Chairman Max Sword says Beth Chapman, who works in bail bonds, could bring a unique perspective to the selection process.

There are huge financial ramifications, especially for Honolulu. Meanwhile, a state senator wants to make it easier to fire bad cops.

A former police officer is headed to prison for 10 years after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting a teenager while working at DLNR.

The measure would also eliminate a little-known rule that prevents some Micronesian immigrants from serving on state boards.

In an unusual move, a defense attorney wants Keith Kaneshiro to testify about a prosecutor’s investigation into “ghost tickets.”

One Honolulu police commissioner thinks some officers should have had taxpayer-funded lawyers but didn’t.

Acting Chief Cary Okimoto told the Police Commission that 20 officers will begin using the technology before the end of the year.

Only one department — the smallest — has had any luck with implementing the technology. So what’s taking so long everywhere else?

Darryl Perry, who worked at HPD for 30 years, applied for the job to be Honolulu’s next chief of police. His says his first priority is restoring community trust in the department.

HPD doesn’t need a public relations consultant. It just needs to develop a better relationship with the local media.
