“Police Week is a time to reflect on the sacrifices our law enforcement officers have made for our communities, those who have died in the line of duty and those who continue to protect our community on a daily basis,” states Kaua‘i Police Chief Darryl Perry, in a press release.
An open house is scheduled at KPD headquarters Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The department is located at 3990 Kaana St. in Lihu‘e.
