Apr. 5 Statement from KPD Chief Todd Raybuck
“As the Police Chief of the Kaua‘i Police Department, I take full responsibility for leaving my department-issued firearm in the police department employee restroom outside my office. The employee restroom is located in a secured area of the department that requires access via an employee key card. However, I recognize the serious nature of this incident. My firearm was located by another police department employee who took the appropriate steps to secure the firearm. While I have not been officially notified of a complaint, I will fully cooperate with the Police Commission's process. I hope that my situation serves as an opportunity for others to learn from my mistake and a reminder of the importance of the safekeeping of firearms.”
