Honolulu Police Commission hopes to have decision on chief by Wednesday

The Honolulu Police Commission heard public testimony on the candidates in the running for police chief.

Some citizens, a retired police officer and the police union president all testified.

Commission Chairwoman Christine Camp says more than 100 people submitted written testimonies. But she said the testimony was not being released.

The commission then went into executive session and plans to reconvene on Monday. A decision on the new police chief could come on Wednesday.
