RE: GOV. MSG. NO. 628

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 628, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of:

Board of Private Detectives and Guards

G.M. No. 628

TIVOLI FAAUMU, for a term to expire 06-30-2023,

begs leave to report as follows:

Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Tivoli Faaumu for service on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards.

Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the reappointment of Tivoli Faaumu from the Department of Public Safety, Board of Private Detectives and Guards, County of Hawai‘i Police Department, County of Maui Police Department, Hawaii High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, and one individual.

Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Police Chief Faaumu's background, experience, and proven leadership on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards qualify him to be nominated for reappointment to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards as a chief of police member. Your Committee notes that Police Chief Faaumu has over thirty-three years of experience in law enforcement, is the Maui Police 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, Boy Scouts of America, and County of Maui Red Cross Advisory Board. Your Committee further finds that Police Chief Faaumu has served on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards since December 2016, and his extensive law enforcement experience continues to enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Your Committee therefore recommends that Police Chief Faaumu be reappointed to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards based on his experience, background, and commitment to public service.

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,
