Documents in the federal case against Mike Miske alleging murder and organized crime activities tell the story of how two Honolulu police officers got caught up in what would turn out to be a much bigger case.

Oahu has had 51 traffic deaths so far this year caused at least in part by alcohol, officers said.

Other officers on scene said the off-duty detective was “code black,” police jargon for when someone is totally out of control.

Jeannine Souki replaces Shannon Alivado, who stepped down in October.

Leaders say implementing policies, like paid maternity leave, could help bring more women to the force and improve policing overall.

Officer Mason Jordan left the force in 2021 as he was under investigation. He was later arrested on separate charges related to the sexual exploitation of children.

Newly released disciplinary reports show the sergeant was trying to protect his officers from a potentially violent confrontation with a suspect.

A gun buyback is coming to Honolulu for the first time in decades as hundreds of gun owners have new licenses to carry.

Honolulu Police Chief Joe Logan called it an “anomaly” that four officers were arrested in a two-week period.

The police commission largely praised Chief Joe Logan’s job performance but said he can do better with communications.
