Merit Appeals Board August 26, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />then you guys pick and choose from there—narrow them down, at least you got people <br />interested. So, just an idea. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Thank you. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: Yeah. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Again, just remember, too, that for Classification and Pay, they have <br />changed, so part of the minimum requirements is just having a college degree from an accredited <br />college or university. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: I think you should encourage your daughter to apply for HPD as, like a <br />Criminalist, yeah? <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: I must say, my daughter is like—I not boasting—but she’s lab and—like, <br />under the microscope. And— <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, Criminalist at HPD. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: —and I don’t—like, Gabriella knows my girl. I don’t want her to leave <br />and there are great opportunities here. And that kid is, like, so— <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: That was one of those positions where I think, “Ooh, maybe I should get a <br />degree in science. I can be a criminalist”—‘cause it must be really interesting. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: I give her credit because she’s—like, J knows, she’s a senior now—played <br />three years for our university—NCAA volleyball. She doesn’t take easy classes like her <br />friends—she has STEM classes and that’s what one thing she wanted. I was, like, “Bella, there’s <br />no career opening for lab kind, like, for Police but can try.” And that’s, kind, of like, her career <br />path she wanted. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: But some—it’s a good thought—look, Gabriella stay lighting the fire, <br />yeah. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. Well, see, that’s part of the employment counseling, yeah. So, <br />someone like her or anyone else for that matter, they can come to HR, and they should look at all <br />the job postings because there may be something that they might qualify for. And if they don’t <br />qualify for immediately—like she’s a senior or other seniors, or even juniors—and HR is <br />pursuing internships with UH-Hilo—hey, that would be something really good, if—get these <br />potential major graduates and have them intern with some of the departments. It doesn’t have to <br />be only Police. There’s Water Supply— <br />Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
