Please reconsider the importance of the Honolulu Police Department's public image when considering the Assistant Chief position. Individuals with prior criminal convictions of domestic abuse will damage the reputation and public image HPD works very hard to maintain.
Why is this important?
To be true to the HPD motto "serve and protect with aloha" HPD senior management is subject to a very high standard, both personally and professionally. Please reconsider promoting anyone with a history of domestic abuse to the Assistant Chief position. Individuals with prior convictions of domestic abuse will damage the reputation and public image HPD works very hard to earn and maintain. We urge you to reconsider the proposed candidate for Assistant Chief, and consider what is truly best for the reputation of HPD and the public it serves.
