The Hawaii Island Safety and Security Professionals Association honored Officer Sidra Naki-Brown as Kohala Officer of the Quarter during a ceremony March 10.
Naki-Brown was honored for her diligence, persistence and determination while dealing with an unruly and violent suspect.
On Dec. 5, 2016, Naki-Brown responded to a report of a disorderly male at the Waikoloa Village shopping center. Despite the male suspect being very vulgar toward her and challenging her and others to fight, Naki-Brown remained calm and professional. The suspect then attempted to flee, but fell to the ground and was subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct.
Throughout the arrest process, Naki-Brown treated the male suspect with dignity and respect.
The Hawaii Island Safety and Security Professionals Association is an organization of hotel and airport security managers and visitor industry professionals. Its Kohala Officer of the Quarter program is an opportunity to recognize outstanding officers from the North Kohala and South Kohala districts.
