## Resource

Honolulu’s new police chief, David Lazar, brings 33 years of San Francisco experience to tackle big challenges: staffing, retention, and modernizing the force. Known for transparency and accountability, he’s committed to building trust with the community and developing leadership from within HPD. Despite initial skepticism from the union, Lazar’s “listening and learning tour” signals a hands-on, humble start as he seeks to improve and own mistakes to make Honolulu’s police department stronger.
