KPD names Brian Silva, Joridan Sele Employees of the Month February 2026

The Kauaʻi Police Department publicly honored Sergeant Brian Silva and Officer Joridan Sele as Employees of the Month for February 2026, the county said in a March 3 release. The announcement names the two officers and identifies the recognition as for the February reporting period.

The March 3 county release, datelined Līhuʻe, said the recognition was carried by local media and described the officers' work with the partial phrasing “exceptional dedication, professionalism,” included in the release text. The county release is the primary source cited for the honors; local outlets picked up the announcement after distribution.

The public notice supplied the honorees' ranks and names but did not include details explaining why Sergeant Silva and Officer Sele were chosen. The release did not provide incident descriptions, case outcomes, years of service, assignment details, photographs, or comments from the honorees or KPD leadership in the materials available with the announcement.

The release likewise did not outline the selection process or criteria for the Employees of the Month program. There is no information in the March 3 notice about whether the award is determined by supervisor nomination, peer voting, community input, or other measures, nor does the release list any prior recognitions for Silva or Sele.

The county announcement confirms the basic facts for readers in Kauaʻi: the timing of the award (February 2026), the names and ranks of the honorees (Sergeant Brian Silva; Officer Joridan Sele), the release date announcing the honor (March 3), and that local media carried the county release. The release was datelined from Līhuʻe, the county seat of Kauaʻi, reinforcing that the recognition originated from county communications.

At this time, the March 3 county release contains the full public record of the recognition as reported; additional background on the officers’ assignments, specific accomplishments leading to the awards, and the department’s selection procedures were not included in that notice and remain outstanding.
