"…Whoever is selected as Honolulu’s next police chief will take over a department in turmoil.…"

Has anyone been akamai enough to get out of their cloistered world and experienced HPD now w/o a politically selected Chief (I.e. Kealoha)? If they took the time, they'd know the above statement is unfair and certainly dated. 

If you let the current unpopular Mayor and union in on the selection process, we're going back to selecting a head whoz 1st priority is to be malleable to political manipulation. 
      HPD is running the way we citizens pay for it . CB get out in the streets and talk to citizens and officers! 
(Tied at the hip SHOPO and mayor's office promote the worst in law enforcement, changing the climate from cooperative to competitive.)
