The grant funds will be used to implement an intranet training module which will be capable of training officers in many required subjects, and will involve testing, re- testing if required, storing training information, and tracking the training received by officers. Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawai`i Department of the Attorney General for this grant.
