I am deeply saddened to report
that an HPD officer was killed today
during his training
this morning at eleven forty a.m. the Traffic Division's Solo Bike Detail
was training near Mililani District Park
when Officer Chad Morimoto's motorcycle slid out
from under him and hit a curb
he was transported in critical condition to Pali Momi Hospital
where he passed away
Officer Morimoto joined the department in April 2004
and worked as a patrol officer in District 6 Waikiki
he was assigned to the Traffic Division
as a motorcycle officer in 2010
his commander described him
as a positive and happy officer
who was always smiling and loved to ride
Officer Morimoto was thirty nine years old
he is survived by his wife, daughter, and son
our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Morimoto's family
and his loved ones thank you
