Thankfully, Logan says he is ably supported by a dependable group of assistant and bureau chiefs, majors, captains, lieutenants, sergeants and more. He also appreciates the department\u2019s hierarchical structure, which allows him to shoulder less of the load because duties are \u201cevenly divided among the leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that makes everything somewhat manageable,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>In part because operating in the public eye is nothing new to him, Logan \u2014 a self-described introvert (more on this later) \u2014 has been a natural for HPD\u2019s top position. From 2015 to 2020, he served as the state\u2019s adjutant general, in which he directed the training and readiness of 5,500 soldiers and airmen in the Hawai\u2018i National Guard.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2258\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2258\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2258\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/mw-mw-cover-010324-chief-logan-painting.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/01\/mw-mw-cover-010324-chief-logan-painting.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/01\/mw-mw-cover-010324-chief-logan-painting.jpg?resize=424,450 424w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/01\/mw-mw-cover-010324-chief-logan-painting.jpg?resize=768,816 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/01\/mw-mw-cover-010324-chief-logan-painting.jpg?resize=335,356 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Both Gaylene and Joe Logan are passionate artists. Here, they reveal two of their prized creations: carp paintings. PHOTO COURTESY ARTHUR \u201cJOE\u201d LOGAN<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Still, he wasn\u2019t sure he wanted to be the one to replace former police chief Susan Ballard when she retired in the summer of 2021. Notwithstanding encouragement from mentors and coworkers, he remained hesitant to apply for the position. In fact, it took a former high school classmate \u2014 impressed by Logan\u2019s integrity, work ethic and track record, not to mention a staunch belief that he \u201cwas the right person at the right time to lead the department\u201d \u2014 to finally convince Logan that his proverbial hat needed to be tossed into the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the \u201cservant leadership mantra\u201d that Logan was raised in and which he credits for laying the foundation for his decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad was active-duty military and both sides of the family have police officers, so there was always that calling to serve for a purpose higher than self that drove me toward this,\u201d explains Logan, who prior to being sworn in as police chief had briefly worked as a criminal investigator for the State of Hawai\u2018i Department of the Attorney General. \u201cIt really wasn\u2019t a hard decision once I made the leap, but it did take that one phone call from that person to make the difference to apply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, he still needed the blessing of his wife, Gaylene, before finally moving forward. She had initially \u201cexpressed concern\u201d about him operating in yet another high-profile position so soon after serving as the state\u2019s adjutant general and following his decorated 41-year military career. But after careful consideration, she, too, became convinced that her husband was tailor-made for the extremely demanding city job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s the hardest-working person I know who runs our household,\u201d says Logan of his marriage partner of 21 years. \u201cI come to work and do my job here, but I think her job is much harder than mine. So, I give her all the credit that is due because one, she\u2019s supported me; and two, she\u2019s the one who\u2019s holding down the fort while I continue in this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Logan assumed the department\u2019s controls two summers ago, it was already reeling from the corruption scandal involving former police chief Louis Kealoha. Furthermore, there were other turbulent issues he had to grapple with, including police misconduct concerns and claims of racial profiling of minorities \u2014 all of which led to many sleepless nights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hurting for the department because I watched what happened \u2014 not generally with chief Ballard; she was a good chief and did her best \u2014 but I think with chief Kealoha before that and what the department went through,\u201d explains Logan. \u201cThen you had the things centered around officers\u2019 actions, based on bringing officers to trial for murder, which is unheard of but seemed to be something that was catching on across the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Logan acknowledges the growing distrust some in the community have with police \u2014 a shared sentiment manifested in other parts of the country in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut,\u201d he adds, \u201cI do think there is a large swath of the population that absolutely supports its law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the challenges Logan faces is drawing new blood into the force. Recruitment shortages here are no different than what departments are experiencing elsewhere, he says, and some believe the overall disinterest in a law enforcement career is mostly due to negative public perception and generational differences.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reasons are for the dwindling number of recruits, Logan and HPD are intent on reversing that trend. To accomplish this in part, they\u2019ve been collaborating with both high schools and universities, hoping to encourage soon-to-be graduates that a career with Honolulu\u2019s finest remains a worthy goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to provide a pathway for those individuals to come into the department upon graduation. Perhaps you want to come in on an internship and we\u2019ll then hire you and provide you with jobs so that when you\u2019re age 21, you can enter our police academy,\u201d Logan explains. \u201cSame thing with the universities. Maybe you come in during your senior year as a member of our scientific investigation section? Or, you\u2019re a communications major and you want to look at our communications division where we have officers who handle the radios and the systems that know where officers are and where to send them on calls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Logan has a specific resolution for the new year, it\u2019s that \u201cthese programs are successful at bringing people into the department, at least in greater numbers than those who are retiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More so, he hopes to retain the current workforce by emphasizing some of the ideals he\u2019s spent a lifetime championing, including the belief that people often remain where they are happiest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually when you stay in an organization for a long time, it\u2019s because you enjoy the people you\u2019re with,\u201d he states. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the goals I have here with HPD \u2014 to ensure that the morale, camaraderie and friendship within the department continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Four decades before Logan submitted his application to replace Ballard, he began filling out another set of papers to join HPD, left it on his dresser overnight and then, to his shock, discovered the very next morning that it was torn to shreds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dog chewed it up,\u201d chuckles the Omaha, Nebraska-born Logan, whose family moved to the islands in 1972 when he was 12. \u201cWhen I woke up, I found it all over the place. So, I had to re-create the application and get it in by 3 o\u2019clock that afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did just that and, with flying colors, soon passed the test that included a performance exam, a background check and a psychological interview. On June 17, 1982, Logan was one of \u201caround 50 or 60 people\u201d sworn in as the city\u2019s newest police officers.<\/p>\n<p>Since law enforcement is cherished in his family (he also has two brothers who have served in the department), Logan\u2019s arrival as a full-time policeman was somewhat expected. So, too, was his joining the Army Reserves and the Hawai\u2018i National Guard. Part of his motivation in attaching himself to the military was his interest in mechanical drawing and architecture. At 19, the Army Reserves sent the Saint Louis School graduate to engineering school on the mainland to learn to be a draftsman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things that people don\u2019t know about me \u2014 that I like to draw. In fact, my wife and I paint and draw together. She\u2019s a very good artist,\u201d says Logan, who keeps one of Gaylene\u2019s finest creations, a colored rock, on his work desk.<\/p>\n<p>But the other reason he chose to serve in both the military and police was to overcome his shyness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was an introvert by nature and I was trying to find a way to break out of that shell. And what better way to do that than by being a leader in both the military and the police department?\u201d says Logan, who during his military career earned a number of awards, including the Distinguished Service Medal, Bronze Star and Meritorious Service Medal; and as a policeman received a Bronze Medal for Merit and was recognized as HPD\u2019s outstanding recruit.<\/p>\n<p>As he pilots HPD into the future, Logan remains resolute in improving the department\u2019s image with the public. He certainly isn\u2019t blind to what he calls \u201cthe tarnish that we have to clean up,\u201d and \u201cthe discoloration on our uniforms and badges from officers\u2019 actions.\u201d His pledge is \u201cto win back the hearts and minds\u201d of those who might have lost their faith and trust in law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the department is in a great place,\u201d states Logan. \u201cAre we perfect? No. Can we get there? Yes. I think with the right people in the right places, which I believe we have for the most part, we can move the department forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honolulu Police Department Chief Arthur \u201cJoe\u201d Logan is proving to be \u201cthe right person at the right time\u201d in guiding..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2256,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cover-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
