HONOLULU, Hawaii The media in Hawaii is calling out three of Hawaii’s police chiefs for what they call “one-sided, scripted events“ and we can only say this: it’s about time. The chiefs have reportedly refused multiple media requests and instead used “department-produced video statements to make their case” according to Hawaii News Now.
Maui Police Chief Tivoli Faamu began using using department-produced videos in 2019 and others have followed. Meda Chesney Lind, Criminology professor at the University of Hawaii questions the tactic saying that “Accountability is important” and that transparency fosters public trust.
