Commissioner Mince stated that he spoke to Assistant Chief Roy Asher to
verify whether there were two separate roadblocks and his response was that
there was only one roadblock for incoming and outgoing traffic. He asked
that on Page 5 of the meeting minutes be amended to reflect that there was
only one roadblock set -up and not another roadblock.
Commissioner Adams noted that if you change the word "another" to "the" it
would clarify that there was only one roadblock and not two separate
roadblocks.
Commissioner Mince stated that at the last Commission meeting, he realized
that his tone of questioning may have come across as being crossed examined
like and even accusatory, and for that he would like to apologize because that
was not his intention; he was just trying to elicit the information.
Staff acknowledged Commissioner's Adam and Mince corrections and would

arrest the man, his female companion began to attack Officer Graham by
punching him repeatedly in the head. Even while being attacked Officer
Graham maintained his composure and was able to gain control of both
subjects and take them into custody. What could have ended in a grave
situation resulted in a successful arrest.
In recognition of his outstanding actions, Chief Perry presented Officer
Richard Graham with a Certificate of Exemplary Service.
Vice Chair Hertog commended Officer Graham for showing such remarkable
restraint and composure. Commissioner Mince asked with the recent
incidents involving people on the mainland in which some police officers (at
times) would resort to the use of their firearms as the weapon of first choice
rather, than the last choice, asking what went through his mind in terms of
how he was going to deal with the situation and why didn't he go directly to
his firearm.
Officer Graham replied that his training played a major role on he handled the
situation and that he already knew in his mind that he was going to overcome
the situation without having to use his firearm.

Chief Perry asked Assistant Chief Roy Asher to explain the basic principles
for conducting a safe traffic stop. A/C Asher explained that the basic
principles for conducting a safe traffic stop begins with the officer flashing his
blue lights, and if need be, sound the siren. He further explained that in all
cases, the police officer would try to get the motorist to go to an area where
it's safe for both the motorist and the officer. The next step is to approach the
motorist from behind to give the officer a chance to check out the interior of
the car to see if there's a weapon in the car. The next step is to ask the
motorist to provide the proper papers. He added that he agrees with Ms.
Parker that placing both of hands on the car's steering wheel is the proper
thing to do and what the officer would like to see.
Chair Iona asked what happens if the motorist identifies that they have a
weapon in the car to which A/C Asher replied, that state of Hawaii does not
have a concealed weapon carry or open carry law, so they shouldn't have a
weapon in their car, but if there is one it should be kept in the trunk of the car
where it's not reachable.
Vice Chair Hertog stated that there seems to be a significant increase in the
number of sexual assault cases reported for last month and this month, asking
if that is something that the department keeps track of since the increase is
due to the victims feeling comfortable enough to report that they were
sexually assaulted. Chief Perry stated that the department keeps track of all
reported sexual assault cases, and although there is an increase in sexual
assault cases reported, he's positive that there are a number of unreported
cases out there as well.

hope to start the class at end or beginning of the year. Their current recruit class
started with 19; they now have 17. They have reached out into the community to fill
the school crossing guard positions, but it is difficult to fill because it is only for two

community meetings in every district, but what they think is important might not be to
the community there. He asked for the commission's help in understanding their
