## Resource

Kauai’s new police chief is tackling staffing shortages with bold moves: launching a cadet program for 18-year-olds in support roles, boosting detective hires, and promoting from within. He’s also investing in tech for better community alerts and exploring new roles like a community relations officer. With backing from local leaders and a vision to turn police presence into a positive force, Chief Tai is building a more connected, future-ready department — and he’s already eyeing the funding needed to make it happen.
