The Kaua‘i County Police Commission is on the lookout for a new Police Chief, and it's calling on the community to weigh in. The Commission is hosting a survey, inviting all residents to express their opinions on what qualities the next leader of Kaua‘i Police Department should have. Open until June 30, the "Police Chief Desirable Traits" survey represents a move toward community engagement in the decision-making process, as reported by the County of Kaua'i.
Recognizing that every resident is a stakeholder in such a pivotal position, the Commission is broadening the conversation beyond the usual confines of law enforcement. According to a notice posted on the official County of Kaua'i website, they believe that the appointment of a new Police Chief is a matter of communal interest. Consequently, the insight garnered from this survey is set to play a role in guiding the selection process, a gesture signaling transparency and a desire to consider public perspective in the shaping of Kaua‘i’s police force.
The Commission is committed to making sure everyone can participate. If you need help—like an interpreter, disability accommodations, or services in a different format—contact Anelalani Davis at 808-241-4917 or email [email protected]. Information is also available in formats like large print, Braille, or electronic copy if needed, as per the County of Kaua'i.
