Concerns are being raised about the lack of Native Hawaiians, Micronesians and other groups on a citizen selection committee organized by the Honolulu Police Commission.

Loretta Sheehan says she’s worried that a former officer involved in another reported domestic dispute violence is going to get his job back.

The former police chief wants taxpayers to pick up his legal tab in a lawsuit, and doesn’t want Commissioner Loretta Sheehan to help decide the matter.

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.
