Pro Bono Work for Kauai Police Dept.


As a Computer and Network Analyst, I was approached and asked by the gunnery sergeant to help retrieve data off a disk that was sent by a mainland police department.


The Milpitas Police Department had sent a disc containing training manuals to the gunnery Sergeant Carl Oliver. After several attempts with their own County Information Technology Specialists, Sgt. Oliver approached me and indicated that their support staff was unable to extract the information on the discs. After a few minutes, I had transferred the data and put it on a CD-ROM.


Honest Kauai Police Officers came forward to me and asked me to help solve the corruption problems by using the latest in policing and monitoring technologies.


I had met with the Police Chief in January of 2005 to help solve the corruption problems by discussing the possibilities of implementing GPS modules that interface with their Records Management System. Other technologies were discussed also.


Many Kauai Police officers know that I had the meeting with Chief Lum and I am sure the "good ones" were pleased that I was there. The "bad ones" however, probably felt a little uncomfortable with my presence there, after all, many Kauai police know I am a computer and network analyst as I have given many pro-bono computer and technology consultations to Kauai police officers in the past.


I have always had an "open door policy" with the brave men and women in blue".


Kauai police officers have come to me in the past and encouraged me to go forward to the Chief of Police and offer my services in an attempt to solve the corruption problems. Their names too, are withheld to protect their identity.


10 pounds of marijuana sent to Koloa Post Office and I surrender the person it was addressed to. Could the "bad cops" fear they might be next? Incidentally, I have installed Cisco routers for the United States Postal Service here on Kauai!


Kauai vice officers are being sued in court for storming into the wrong home searching for the box. The person the package was addressed to was not present when Kauai vice finally found the box, after they had stormed into another house, injuring the innocent occupants, called me asking for advice. My advice to Nathan Prather: Turn yourself in. With much hesitation he concluded I was right and it was the right thing to do. I drove Nathan Prather to the Kauai Police Department a few days later and delivered him to Damien Mendiola of the vice division.


The Kauai News paper reports it differently, the story they wrote says that Hibbitt sent the box to himself. Ok, then why did the Koloa Postmaster call Nathan and asked him to come pick up the box?



When KPD Detectives are looking for someone in Koloa or surrounding areas that they cannot locate or have had trouble tracking down, I am one of the few people the Kauai Police have turned too to ask for help.



NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN'S NETWORK Not pro-bono


As a paid contractor however, I was selected to install the Amber Alert, part of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Network at the County of Kauai Prosecutors office in 2004.
