This week is National Police Week – our annual special tribute to law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. In recognition of National Police Week, police officers, dignitaries, community members and legislators came together on Sunday, May 15 to honor Hawai`i’s fallen heroes at the Honolulu Police Memorial. While we honor those who gave their lives, police week also honors the officers who continue to serve our community– their ongoing efforts reminds us to be vigilant against crime and to continue to do our part in making our community safe. You can view the video of tribute at the Honolulu Police Department’s website. To watch the candlelight vigil in its entirety, click here. We also have the opportunity this month to weigh in on our next Police Chief of the Honolulu Police Department. See information on the four finalists here. You can submit testimony to the Honolulu Police Commission at the 4pm meeting today here or on May 23 which you can refer to here. Submit testimony here.
Caring for each other,
