Administrative & Technical Bureau
  Administrative and Technical Bureau Mission Minimize

Mission

The overall mission of the Administrative and Technical Bureau is to provide support services to other police elements within the department, as part of a concerted effort to assist them in attaining their goals and objectives. Equally significant are bureau services that are provided directly to the public, especially via the Records and Community Relations sections.
     
  Administrative and Technical Bureau Overview Minimize

Overview

The authorized strength of the bureau is presently at twenty-three, including seven sworn officers and sixteen civilian positions. Acting Assistant Chief Sherwin "Kaleo" Perez is  the overall Commander of the Administrative & Technical Bureau.

 

Operational facets include overseeing the department’s nearly 25 million dollar budget, maintaining payroll, and keeping pace with personnel, human relations, and workplace environment issues. The Training section coordinates all official department training, including the police academy for newly hired recruits.

 

Recruitment and retention of personnel, especially sworn police officers, remains a high priority for the department, with the Training, Research & Development, and Personnel Sections taking lead roles in addressing this critical area.

  Police Explorers Minimize

Police Explorers Program

The Explorer Program is for career-oriented young adults aged 14 through 20. Members are referred to as "Explorer" and, while the program is part of the Boy Scouts of America, the Explorer program is instinctively different from scouting. Explorer is a co-educational, young-adult program developed and supervised by local community organizations, businesses and individuals providing an opportunity for young adults to explore a particular career field. Kaua‘i Police Explorer Post is sponsored by the Kaua‘i Rural Development Project, Kaua‘i Police Department & Kaua‘i Community College. This program is designed to educate and involve young men and women in police operations and to interest them in law enforcement functions whether they enter the law enforcement field or not. As an Explorer, young adults have the opportunity to assist the Kauai Police Department. Explorers can broaden their understanding and firsthand knowledge of the challenges and job skills that make up their community's police service. In addition to gaining a working knowledge of police work, the participants have the opportunity to give of themselves to their community. Although the Police Explorers Program is law enforcement oriented, Explorers are volunteers and do not serve as police employees, sworn or civilian. We currently have 11 Explorers in the program.
