Jason Donez, general manager of Leilani’s, said, “Officer Kauhaahaa’s high quality of work and dedication to the Maui Police Department and its officers have earned him the honor of Police Officer of the Month for June. Leilani’s is proud to recognize the individuals who protect and positively influence in our community.”
