Hendricks and Walter Moe; back row, Wilfred Okabe, Peter P. Muller and Daniel C. Kama. New member from Kohala District named to Hawaii County Police Commission he Hawaii County Police Commis- sion is comprised of nine Big Island residents who volunteer their time to oversee the Police Department. The members, appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the County Council, represent each of the nine Council districts and serve staggered terms of five years each. The commission members elect their own chairman and vice chairman each year. The commission chairman for 2001 is Wilfred M. Okabe; the vice chairman is Dwight K. Manago. By the end of the fiscal year, one new commis- sioner had been appointed and confirmed. He is Peter L. Hendricks, who represents the Dis- trict of North and South Kohala. He replaced Commissioner Clarence Mills. The commission has the following responsi- bilities mandated by the County Charter: • To appoint and remove the Chief of Police. • To evaluate annually the performance of the Chief of Police and submit a report to the mayor, managing director and the County Council. • To review the Police Department's operations for the purpose of recommending improve- ments to the Chief of Police and Managing Director. • To advise the Chief of Police on police and community relations. • To review the annual budget prepared by the Chief of Police and possibly make recommen- dations to the Mayor. 2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT -7 'Livescan' allows inkless fingerpinting, 'instant' computer identification he Hawaii County Police Department has been shortened from 60 to 20 minutes. has been piloting a new computer sys- tem that can photograph and fingerprint The Green Box takes the information typed a suspect electronically and find out in a matter into the computer, the fingerprints and the mug of hours whether the arrestee is wanted any- shots and sends that packet electronically to where else in the United States. HCJDC in Honolulu. The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC) chose Hawaii County as the first to pilot out the new system, which integrates the functions of "Livescan," a computerized fingerprinting system, and "Crime Capture," an electronic mug shot system, with the inte- grated information system. Using the new system, a police officer in Hilo or Kona can electronically photograph and fingerprint a suspect directly into the depart- ment's computer system without the use of perishable film or messy ink. A computer program dubbed the "Green Box" then assembles the information into formats that can be read by the State's Offender -Based Transaction Statistics/Computerized Criminal History (OBTS/CCH) and Automated Finger- print Identification System (AFIS). Once HCJDC gets the information from the Big Island, it can query the Federal Bureau of Investigation electronically and find out whether the suspect is wanted elsewhere. The FBI will respond to the query within two hoursa process that used to take up to two months when fingerprints were transmitted manually. Once the suspect is identified in the state sys- tem, the fingerprint files can then be sent elec- tronically to the FBI, which can electronically compare a suspect's fingerprints with the more than 38 million prints it stores in its comput- ers. Currently, the department uses the Green Box software at 13 booking sites, plus one more in its Records and Identification Section. Only the South Hilo and Kona police districts, however, have the capability now of using the Livescan fingerprinting and Crime Capture mug shot systems. The other booking sites continue to lake Pola- roid mug shots and to ink and role fingerprints of suspects. The prints and mug shots are later scanned into the computer system and the mug photo filed. However, booking officers throughout the county no longer have to type out fingerprint cards. They simply print a card from the Green Box and then ink and roll. They now prepare their reports by making data entry into the Green Box and then printing out the reports. The Green Box automatically For police officers, the greatest benefit is the generates an identifying tracking number and time it saves in booking and mugging a suspect automatically transfers to it all data needed for and filling out the paperwork—a process that the statewide OBTS/CCH. 8-2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT TEU AWARD WINNERS—Three members of the Hawaii County Police Department's Traffic En- forcement Unit have received MADD awards in three years. They are Officer Christopher Gali, left, Sergeant Samuel Jelsma and Officer Robert E. Hatton. Traffic Enforcement Unit wins MADD award for DUI arrests for third year in a row 0 fficer Christopher Gall was named the winner of the 2002 MADD-Hawaii Law Enforcement Award for distin- guished service in the prevention of drunk driving. The award was presented by the statewide Mothers Against Drunk Driving group at its annual meeting in Honolulu. It marked the third year in a row that an officer from the Big Island's Traffic Enforcement Unit has won the award. Last year, Officer Robert E. Hatton won the award, and in 2000, Ser- geant Samuel V. Jelsma, head of the unit, was the recipient. Officer Gah arrested 61 of the 835 drivers ar- rested in 2001 for drunk driving. In recommending Gali for the award, Sergeant Jelsma said: "The vast majority of cases were closed—arrested and charged or later deferred to the prosecutor for charging—with only a handful released without charges due to a breath sample under the legal .08 percent breath alcohol content standard." Jelsma went on to say that Gali "has developed the reputation that he is fair, but unwavering of the DUI laws and puts his personal feelings aside when he puts on his uniform." During the previous year, Officer Hatton won the award for arresting 104 of the total 1,081 DUI arrests made that year. Forty-three of the arrests were made while Hatton, a patrol offi- cer in the Puna District at the time, had a police recruit assigned to him for police training. In 2000, MADD recognized Jelsma's leader- ship in combatting drunk driving. The orga- nization noted that after Jelsma took over as head of the TEU, the unit made 251 DUI ar- rests, compared to 90 during the same period the year before—an increase of 179 percent. 2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT -9 10 coo 9.000 8 000 7 000 x m c 5 000 O Z 5.000 4 000 000 2000 1954 Part I Offenses 1994-2001 19 o00 16 000 14.000 12.000 1995 '.996 '997 1996 1999 2000 2001 Year Part II Offenses 1994-2001 �—ACNaI --�—Clearetl — -- - --near (Actual) ------- Llnear(Cleared) —Actual Clearetl c � 10000 '— -- --" ------- --- -- - � - linear lActuap O _ - - - Linear (Cleared) i 4 am 2000 19:14 1995 1996 1997 1998 Year 10-2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT 1999 2000 9001 Big Island continues to lead state in clearance rate of overall crimes uring calendar year 2001, Hawaii County continued to record the high- est clearance rate for all categories of index crimes. The Big Island had a clearance rate of 24.1 percent, down from the 26.6 percent clearance rate set the previous year. By comparison, Maui had a clearance rate of 19.7 percent, up from the 12.1 percent record- ed the previous year. Kauai's clearance rate was 15.7 percent, down from the 18.9 percent recorded the year before. In 2001, Honolulu recorded a clearance rate of 11.0 percent, down from the 12.7 percent cleared the year before. The number of violent crimes increased on the Big Island by 16.9 percent from the year before, climbing from 237 to 277. Property crimes also increased by 8.4 percent, from 6,188 to 6,708. The charts on the opposite page graphically illustrate the crime and clearance rates for the past eight years on the Big Island. The straight broken lines represent the eight-year trend of actual crimes and clearances. The top chart shows that the number of Part I offenses murder, non -negligent man- slaughter, rape robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft—increased slightly, from 8,832 in 2000 to 9,163 in 2001, an increase of .3.2 percent. The clearance rate for Part I offenses for the one-year period also declined, from 44.4 percent to 39.2 percent. The general trend for Part I offenses over the past eight years, however, is a slight decline, while the general trend for the clearance of Part I crimes is a slight increase. The bottom chart shows an increase in Part II, or less serious, offenses—such as vandalism, embezzlement, drug violations, drunk driving and gambling—from 15,175 in 2000 to 16,285 in 2001. This represents an increase of 7.3 percent. The clearance rate for Part II offenses in 2001 was 72.2 percent, down from the 76.0 percent clearance rate set the year before. The general trend over the past eight years shows that the increase in Part II offenses has been matched by a similar increase in cases cleared.

Wike received a Certificate of Achievement from the group for his outstanding efforts in returning the child to his mother. The officer got involved in the case after he learned that the boy's father, Edgardo Rene Meneses had taken the boy, Alexander, from his mother, Coralia Isabel Calderon, on July 3, 2001, in Gardena, California, and fled to Hawaii. Officer Wike had been in touch with the moth- er in California. She told him that Meneses had been calling her daily, demanding money and threatening that if she didn't give him money, she would never see her son again. On August 3, 2001, Calderon called Wike and said Meneses had called her and told her 14-2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT he had the baby was somewhere in the South Kona area. Wike decided to check Hookena Beach. When he arrived at the beach, he spotted Meneses with the baby outside in the shower area. Wike alerted other units in the area, including the FBI, then waited for them to arrive. When the units arrived, Meneses was sitting in the driver's seat of a van. Wike approached the van from the driver's side, and his partner ap- proached from the opposite side. They saw the infant sleeping in the passenger's seat. Wike then distracted Meneses, and his partner opened the driver's door. Before Meneses could react, he was arrested. Wike then took the sleeping baby from the van and notified Child Protective Services to take custody of the infant. A few days later, the baby's mother flew to Ha- waii from California to pick up the baby. The mother and child were reunited at the police station. MICROWAVE GRID—The map of the Big island, right, shows the grid of Hawaii County's mi- crowave telecommunications system. The dots represent microwave towers; the straight lines, microwave transmissions between towers. Progress made on major projects: cellblocks, microwave and records management system The Police Department has made major progress toward completion of three ongoing projects. The first project is the construction of a $4.2 million police cellblock facility. The 10,000 - square -foot facility with 18 holding cells and two high security holding areas is being built to relieve over crowding of pretrial detainees in the Hilo station cellblock. It is schedule to open in February 2003. The department has also contracted a vendor to upgrade the county's microwave radio system. The second phase of installing the trunked sys- tem is estimated to cost $21 million. The microwave upgrade is scheduled for com- pletion in 2002; the second phase, in 2006.

On April 12, 2002, officers from the Kona Vice Section arrested three persons on a search warrant issued in response to numerous com- plaints from H.O.V.E. residents about drug activity, firearm violations threats, thefts and burglaries. The three suspects—an adult male, 40, a fe- male, 41, and a male juvenile—were arrested for numerous drug, explosives and firearm of- fenses. Executing the warrant, officers found 29 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 59 grams of dried processed marijuana, 208 growing marijuana plants ranging in height from seedlings to three feet, hydrocodone pills, a 9mm semiautomatic pistol, an altered .30 -caliber rifle, a .45 -caliber submachine gun, ammunition for various calibers, a blast- ing cap and a seal bomb explosive. They also recovered more than $1,000 in recovered ap- pliances, tools and other items determined to be stolen. In addition to the search warrant charges, the adult male was held for nine arrest warrants from Honolulu with bail exceeding $20,000. The vice officers were assisted by the Special 16-2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT Response Team, Criminal Investigation Sec- tion, Ka'u Patrol Division and federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire- arms. The Special Response Team was called out be- cause of the adult male's past criminal history involving violence and firearms and drug use. The suspect was arrested without incident and no one was injured. The operation was also one of the first cases in the state to be prosecuted federally under the Safe Neighborhood Program.
