HONOLULU (AP) — The Honolulu Police Commission is expected to meet behind closed doors to discuss the retirement deal Chief Louis Kealoha is getting to walk away from the department while he’s the target of a federal corruption investigation.
Wednesday’s meeting comes after FBI agents raided the Honolulu prosecuting attorney’s office as part of the investigation.
A federal grand jury is looking into allegations of civil rights abuses and corruption at the police department.
Commission Chairman Max Sword announced earlier this month that Kealoha agreed to retire. Sword says the retirement agreement would be approved at Wednesday’s meeting.
State Sen. Will Espero is among those calling on commissioners not to give Kealoha anything more than the pension he earned.
Kealoha has been on paid leave since receiving an FBI target letter last month.
