“I’m reappointing Max because I do want to have a voice for the visitor industry on the commission,” Caldwell said. “It’s us local folks and our visitors who are impacted by the good work of the Honolulu Police Department, and I want to make sure there is that representation there. He’s completely connected into Waikiki and the visitor industry and has a lot of experience in that area.”

I don't think that is an appropriate role for the Commission.  It is really up to HPD to develop a visitor industry relationship through HTA.  The role of the Commission is to address reports on conduct/misconduct,  HPD's quality measures, assure that HPD is following their own policies and procedures,  that gaps in needed policies and procedures are addressed within HPD, and advocate for the Department to obtain needed resources in carrying out their responsibilities.

Commision membership: Include background in law enforcement, legal, victim's protection and forensics as well as community membership.
