Hearing today on Public Safety chief

Advertiser Staff

The state Senate Public Safety Committee has scheduled a hearing today on acting Public Safety Director Clayton Frank's appointment to head the department through 2010.

Frank has been warden and administrator of the Halawa Correctional Facility and has held a variety of positions with the department over the past 25 years.

He's been serving as acting director, overseeing prisons and state public safety agencies since his appointment was announced in May.

Frank was Gov. Linda Lingle's second choice for the job. Her first, Iwalani D. White, was rejected by the state Senate in April.
