Peter Cabreros has been promoted to warden of the Hawaii Community Correctional Center in Hilo effective Wednesday, the Hawaii Department of Public Safety has announced.
“Peter is a valuable asset to the department and is a committed corrections professional,” said Public Safety Director Nolan Espinda. “He brings many years of corrections experience with him to this new position and I have no doubt HCCC will benefit by his leadership.”
Before being named warden, Cabreros was the chief of security at HCCC. He recently took over as acting warden in January upon the retirement of the previous warden. Cabreros has been with the Department of Public Safety since February 1975. He started as a corrections officer and worked his way up through the ranks to chief of security at HCCC in 2002.
As chief of security, Cabreros was responsible for planning, directing and administering the overall security operations. He also served as a member of the institutional management staff and participated in the creation of institutional security policies and procedures. The chief of security also acts in the capacity of warden in their absence.
