Dear Darah,
I have been very fortunate to have great bosses. My life con- tinues to flourish every day through my present position as a clerk typist at Honolulu Police Department and non- profit CrimeStoppers Hono- lulu.
— whether we are HPD staff, volunteers or other commu- nity partners — feel we play an essential role in making O‘ahu safer.

I didn’t know what to ex-no pect. I too was a bit unsureis of myself and nervous ofan the new assignment as IDo had big shoes to fill becauseof Sgt.
