Honolulu police test where on body to put cameras
HONOLULU (AP) — The Honolulu Police Department is testing out body cameras on officers as it prepares to launch a pilot program for the devices by the end of the year.
Maj. Andrew Lum said the department has been testing different vantage points by placing cameras on officers at eye, shoulder and chest levels. The testing also includes putting the camera-equipped officers in different scenarios and analyzing the recordings to detect obstructions and measure visibility.
Lum said the department’s pilot project, which will allow officers to wear the devices on their patrols, could begin in November. It’s expected to last three to six months.
Once the pilot project is complete, the department will decide how to store the data, which could be done internally or through a third party.
The Honolulu Police Department began looking into body cameras in December, Lum said, but was halted by legislation that would have negatively impacted the department’s use of the technology. He also said the department is still working to change a city law that limits the ability of officers to record in public.
Officials ID man, daughter who died at tide pools on Oahu
HONOLULU (AP) — Officials released the names of a man and his young daughter who died after being pulled from the Makapuu Tide Pools on Oahu.
The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as 46-year-old Mark Hornor and 6-year-old Mina. Both were from Berkeley, Calif.
Emergency crews responded Saturday to reports that the girl fell into the ocean while walking along the rocky shoreline. Officials said her father jumped in to save her before he also was swept away by the waves.
Lifeguards found both victims unresponsive and brought them back to shore. They both were taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died.
The medical examiner will conduct autopsies to determine their causes of death.
The Saturday incident comes after a teenage girl was seriously injured after a wave knocked her over last month. Two people, including a 12-year-old girl, had to be rescued in separate incidents in March 2015 after they were injured by the waves at the tide pools. In 2011, a father his 11-year-old daughter drowned at the tide pools.
