RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 573

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

Sir:

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 573, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

Board Of Private Detectives And Guards

G.M. No. 573

TIVOLI FAAUMU, for a term to expire 06-30-2020,

begs leave to report as follows:

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Tivoli Faaumu to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Tivoli Faaumu from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and three individuals.

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Police Chief Faaumu's background and extensive experience qualify him to be nominated for appointment to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards as a chief of police member.  Your Committee notes that Police Chief Faaumu has been with the Maui Police Department for over thirty years, is the Department's current Chief of Police, and is an active, dedicated, and well-respected member of the State's law enforcement community.  Police Chief Faaumu is also a retired veteran of the United States Army Reserve and is active in his community on Maui, including serving as a board member for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui and the County of Maui Red Cross Advisory Board.  Your Committee further finds that Police Chief Faaumu has served as an interim member of the Board of Private Detectives and Guards since December 2016 and has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and therefore recommends that Police Chief Faaumu be appointed to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards based on his knowledge, experience, and dedication to protecting and serving the public.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health,
