University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa’s Campus Security and Emergency Management Department<\/a> appointed of its first female captain, Alberta J.K. Pukahi<\/strong>. She is a 25-year veteran of the university’s security office, where for the last eight years Pukahi served as a sergeant and investigated cases of the most sensitive and complex nature, including sexual assaults.<\/p>\n

Capt. Pukahi’s immediate focus is on training, operations and rebuilding a team dedicated to service. She oversees a security staff of approximately 40, about 25 percent of them women.<\/p>\n

Pukahi came to 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa in 1987 as a security professional from the private sector and, inspired by the first 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa commencement ceremony she witnessed, made the commitment to pursue a college degree. “While at Kahuku High School, I was not the most serious student, but the tuition waivers available to university employees gave me the opportunity to go back to school,” says Pukahi.<\/p>\n

She earned an associate degree in administration of justice from Honolulu Community College<\/a> in 2000, and a bachelor’s in public administration from 糖心视频<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> in 2010.<\/p>\n

Pukahi was also recognized as one of Hawaiʻi<\/span>’s Top Cops in 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n
