IT'S GETTING HOT IN THERE

 
Honolulu Police Commission under fire:

Mayor Caldwell backs the panel, but an isle criminologist calls it "inadequate"

From trial reporting >

"Kealoha said he woke up one night and noticed his mailbox was missing. He said someone had been disturbing his home for about a year, throwing rocks at it, entering his garage, damaging his vehicles and shooting out his windows and front door. He said he didn't report the incidents at first because he thought he could take care of them on his own. Eventually, he installed security cameras. One day, when his daughter was in the home, he arrived to find the doors he had replaced had been shot out again. So he decided to start making reports."

Interesting guy. Shooting, throwing rocks, entering, damaging. But he'll wait to report and install cameras.

"He testified that he was on his way to go surfing the morning he discovered the mailbox was missing but decided to wait until he returned to tell his wife about it, who reported it to police." WAITING AGAIN!

"Kealoha said he reported the stolen mailbox to Deputy Chief Marie McCauley, who turned the case over to the Honolulu Police Department's Criminal Intelligence Unit. He said he doesn't know what happened with the case after that." Gotta love 'em. Once they get around to reporting, they really give it  their all.
