Darryl Perry will take the oath to become Kaua'i's seventh chief of police and will serve as the leader of 125 sworn officers as well as a civilian staff.
Selected from a field of 66 candidates, Perry was given a conditional job offer last month by the Police Commission. He recently fulfilled the final requirements for the position, which included routine psychological and physical exams and a drug test.
Perry is a 33-year police veteran, who started his career with the Kaua'i Police Department and then transferred to the Honolulu Police Department. During his tenure with HPD, he served as commander of the Juvenile Services Division, Narcotics/Vice Division and the Criminal Investigations Division.
After retiring in 2002, Perry worked as chief of security for First Hawaiian Bank on O'ahu, an investigator with the state Attorney General's office, and as an adjunct professor at Honolulu Community College in the Justice of Administration Program.
