Lee named Kohala Officer of the Quarter
The Hawaii Island Safety and Security Professionals Association recognized Officer May Lee as Kohala Officer of the Quarter for January-March during a ceremony on May 13.
Officer Lee was honored for a traffic enforcement project that led to the arrest of a wanted person who was in possession of a loaded gun.
On Jan. 15, while conducting speeding enforcement, Lee stopped a motorist and recognized him as someone who was wanted on an outstanding bench warrant. The driver had been speeding, had no valid driver’s license, registration or insurance, and was using a fraudulent safety sticker. Lee arrested the driver and had the vehicle towed. Police recovered two unregistered firearms, one which was loaded, and initiated nine gun-related cases.
Lt. Juergen Canda praised Lee her for her “outstanding commitment” in nomination papers.
