RE:    GOV. MSG. NOS. 591, 592

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message Nos. 591 and 592, submitting for study and consideration the nominations of:

 

Board of Private Detectives and Guards

 

G.M. No. 591

GARY YABUTA,

for a term to expire 6-30-2018; and

 

G.M. No. 592

DARRYL PERRY,

for a term to expire 6-30-2018,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal histories, resumes, and statements submitted by the nominees and finds Gary Yabuta and Darryl Perry to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards.

 

GARY YABUTA

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Gary Yabuta from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Police Chief Yabuta's background, experience, and proven leadership on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards qualify him for reappointment to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards as a chief of police member.  Your Committee notes that Police Chief Yabuta has been with the Maui Police Department, the sole full-service law enforcement organization for Maui County, for over thirty years and is the Department's current Chief of Police.  Your Committee further finds that Police Chief Yabuta has served on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards since September 2009, has been the Vice Chairperson of the Board since July 2012, and has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Police Chief Yabuta be reappointed to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards based on his knowledge, experience, and dedication to protecting and serving the public.

 

DARRYL PERRY

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Darryl Perry from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Police Chief Perry's background, experience, and proven leadership on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards qualify him for reappointment to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards as a chief of police member.  Your Committee notes that Police Chief Perry has almost forty years of law enforcement experience and has worked directly and indirectly with private sector security firms and individual private detectives throughout this time.  Police Chief Perry retired from the Honolulu Police Department in 2002 and joined the Kauai Police Department in 2007, where he currently serves as the Chief of Police.  Your Committee further finds that Police Chief Perry has served on the Board of Private Detectives and Guards since September 2009 and has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Police Chief Perry be reappointed to the Board of Private Detectives and Guards based on his knowledge, experience, and commitment to public safety.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that are attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominees, has found the nominees to be qualified for the positions to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nominations.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
