Congratulations to DOCARE Officers’ Class of 2023 On 2/22/23, HI Senate Ways & Means Committee Chair Donovan Dela Cruz and I visited the largest in history class of 42 DOCARE officer recruits at the Honolulu Community College (HCC) Marine Education Training Center. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Carlton Helm and others, the recruits will be wrapping up 9 months of training on 3/17/23.
The Westside is well represented among both the DOCARE recruits and trainers (pictured above). Front row L-R: Dylan Kauiho, Noland Keaulana, me, Mel Puu, Kamakani Froiseth, Lokene Fao, Brandon Martin, Pieter Meinster, Kevin Allen, Tom Allen. Back row L-R: Terry Ahue and Kenji Gramberg. These recruits from across the state must complete a rigorous training, involving missions on both land and water, prior to going on duty. If you’re passionate about protecting Hawaii's natural, cultural, and historical resources, DLNR would love to work with you!
