From:Bryson Pilor <br />To:Correa, Charisse <br />Subject:Support for Kenneth Quiocho for HPD Police Chief <br />Date:Friday, January 23, 2026 7:13:41 AM <br />I am writing to express my strong support for Assistant Chief Kenneth Quiocho as the next <br />Chief of Police for the Hawaii Police Department. I am a current sworn member of the <br />Hawaii Police Department and have served the department in various capacities as both a <br />civilian employee and a sworn law enforcement officer. <br />I have known Assistant Chief Quiocho since my very first day with HPD as a civilian <br />employee and have maintained a positive, productive working relationship with him <br />throughout my career. I have served under his command in multiple assignments, during <br />which time he has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and professionalism. <br />Assistant Chief Quiocho is a leader who is never hesitant to work alongside his officers, <br />providing guidance, support, and hands-on assistance when needed. He brings a vast and well- <br />rounded knowledge of policing and consistently supports his personnel with a positive, <br />forward-thinking mindset. He is firm yet fair, and he holds his officers to a high standard of <br />excellence—an expectation that I believe all law enforcement professionals should strive to <br />meet. <br />Based on my years of experience working with him, I firmly believe Assistant Chief Quiocho <br />possesses the qualities necessary to be a successful and respected Chief of Police. He is <br />knowledgeable, professional, and deeply committed to the community, always prioritizing <br />public safety and organizational stability. I offer my full support for his appointment as Chief <br />of Police. <br />Respectfully, <br />Bryson Pilor <br /> <br />
