It’s Hawaii Democrats’ turn at presidential politics with the party’s caucuses coming up Saturday. Meanwhile, West Oahu celebrates HPD’s newest facility.

The Honolulu Charter Commission wants Oahu voters to consider a proposal that would strengthen the authority of the Police Commission.

An independent review board and a board that would set standards and training requirements for police officers also gained legislative approval.

It’s the largest settlement related to Honolulu police misconduct since at least the year 2000.

Hawaii is likely to remain the only state without such a board after a House committee shelves a reform bill.

Hawaii has contributed more than 30,000 offender profiles to a federal DNA database.

A proposed $4.7 million settlement is underscoring concerns that problems within the Honolulu Police Department are not being effectively addressed.

The measures would set guidelines for use of body cams and establish boards for training and to review police use of force.

Honolulu Police officials pushing to promote Maj. Ryan Borges never mentioned another time the cops were called and his wife ended up in the hospital.

The massive recommendations of a once-a-decade task force are moving ahead, despite concerns that some go too far.
