HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Amid a slew of controversies, the director of Hawaii’s Department of Law Enforcement is stepping down, and a Honolulu Police Major has accepted the position, HNN Investigates confirmed Tuesday.

Jordon Lowe was appointed to the role in 2020.

He oversaw the split of the Public Safety Department when DLE became its own entity separate from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2024.

In June, a civil lawsuit accused Lowe of ignoring sexual harassment complaints that a sheriff deputy made against former Deputy Director William Oku Junior.

Oku Jr. was accused of making lewd comments about female coworkers and exposing himself on duty in 2022.

When asked for comment on that lawsuit, the DLE declined to respond.

One month later, Lowe confirmed three separate criminal investigations involving nine sheriff deputies were opened; allegations included derogatory comments about gay people and racial harassment.

One of the suspended deputies, Jordan Kagehiro, was found dead weeks later. Multiple reports say DLE supervisors were pressuring the 32-year-old about misconduct investigations.

The DLE has not provided an official reason for Lowe’s resignation.

It’s unclear when HPD Major Mike Lambert could officially take the role of director.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

GOODING, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — It was a battle at Gooding High School Tuesday night in the 4A Sawtooth Central Idaho Conference.

The Kimberly Bulldogs girls basketball team (10-7) took on Gooding (8-6) as both teams entered 3-0 in conference play.

Points were tough to come by in the first quarter as both teams struggled to take the lid off the basketball.

Both teams found its groove but Kimberly took a strong 12-point lead into the break.

Gooding would close the margin in the third but the Bulldogs came to play and held off the Senators to win 68-52 and sit alone atop the conference.

Sophomore sensation Taya Plew led the Bulldogs with 20 points while freshman Brooklyn VerWey added 13 points and nine rebounds.

Hope Ward would finish in double-figures with 10 points while Ady Osborne had six points and 13 rebounds.

Gooding’s Emma Day scored 17 and Camryn Rycraft had 14.
