The Hawaii Police Department has <br /> applied for accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement <br /> Agencies (CALEA) and the officers need to be trained in accordance with the nationwide <br /> standards set forth by CALEA. The training requirement keeps officers informed, updated, <br /> in compliance with case law, and in touch with the newest, most effective ways in battling <br /> crime. The grant funds will be used to implement an intranet training module which will be <br /> capable of training officers in many required subjects, and will involve testing, re- testing if <br /> required, storing training information, and tracking the training received by officers. <br /> Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State <br /> of Hawai`i Department of the Attorney General for this grant. <br /> Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating <br /> this $145,457 "Na'auao — Where Knowledge is Learned" program grant. <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Hawaii Police Department. <br /> 11114- <br /> Nancy E.
