Louis M. Kealoha will be sworn in as the city’s 10th chief of police at 3 p.m. Wednesday, the Police Commission announced today.

Kealoha was selected by the commission last Wednesday from a field of six finalists.
Kealoha, 47, most recently has been captain of HPD's Juvenile Services Division. His longest stop moving up the command chain was six years as a lieutenant in the Training Division.
Kealoha also received a master of science in criminal justice administration from Chaminade University and has dual bachelor's degrees from there, majoring in both human services and occupational education.
Since 1999, he has been an adjunct professor at Chaminade's Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
