Thank you for pointing out this need! I often wonder if a woman could be police chief in Hawaii. Gender by itself will not guarantee successful police work, but I wonder if she might be more adept with the many tough issues facing HPD. In addition, the next police chief could benefit from a degree in social work instead of criminology and work experiences with segments of our population not well-represented politically. See the example of Heather Fong, former chief of police of San Francisco.
