From:Charles Lindsey <br />To:Correa, Charisse <br />Subject:Support for Kenneth Quiocho who is being considered for Chief of Police <br />Date:Thursday, January 8, 2026 3:55:54 PM <br />Aloha- <br />It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to talk with Ken. So. I was surprised to hear from him when he <br />called to ask me to submit a letter supporting him in this search for a new Chief of Police. <br />I remember driving over to Kona one day to have a Judge sign a Search Warrant for a case that I was working on. <br />While talking to me, the Judge brought up a case that another Officer and I had worked on together. He asked me <br />about the Officer, then he said, “You know, I read his reports and I don’t believe anything that he says.” <br />As a Police Officer, it isn’t how big your muscles are, or how strong you are, or it’s not even how fast or how pretty <br />your car is. What I got from that conversation, was “credibility”. Here’s an Officer that to me had lost all credibility <br />with this particular Judge, so no matter what comes before this judge that involves this Officer, credibility is at <br />question. <br />Why do I bring this up? <br />Having worked with Ken for a few years, I’ve seen him work, and I’ve seen how he works. Because of that, I’ve <br />seen first hand how honesty and honest work, brings about credibility and integrity. The Ken that I know has all of <br />these attributes that I believe is needed to be able to be successful in this calling. <br />Again, I do appreciate being asked to comment. <br />Mahalo nui, <br />Charlie Lindsey <br />Police Officer <br />1977-2002 <br />Sent from my iPhone <br /> <br />
