Hawaii lags behind other states in revealing what happens when officers open fire.

Attorneys fees must be awarded when a government wrongfully withholds public information.

A recently passed measure will force county police departments to provide more information about misconduct.

Legislation is advancing that would require full disclosure about officers who get suspended for misconduct.

The bill, which passed a significant hurdle Tuesday, would overturn decades of confidentiality between the departments and the public.

Disciplinary records are routinely destroyed by HPD before lawmakers or the public learn of police misconduct.

Cops are no different than other public employees when it comes to public oversight of bad behavior.

The bill would create an oversight board that could revoke a police officer's license for misconduct.

But some Hawaii lawmakers hope to require more disclosure of misconduct and disciplinary action.

Sen. Will Espero introduced legislation as a result of the Christopher Deedy trial but he's concerned about HPD policy, too.
