                                     Edward Kabina

Edward T. Kabina is a retired police chief with the Guam Police Department. Guam, a culturally and ethnically diverse island community, is a Territory of the United States and part of the Marianas Island Chain, situated west of Hawaii.

Starting his career as a volunteer police reserve officer and later becoming a regular officer, Mr. Kabina worked a myriad of field and investigative assignments as he progressed through the ranks prior to his appointment as the department’s chief in 2000. He is a graduate of the 43rd Session of the FBI’s Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar (FBI-LEEDS), held at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business and Management from the University of Maryland (UMUC), as well as an Associate of Arts in Management and an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice from the Guam Community College.
 
During his tenure as the chief and in the post 9-11 atmosphere, the Governor appointed Mr. Kabina to serve on the Federal Anti-Terrorism Task Force and the Civil Defense Advisory Council, to work collectively to fortify local and federal assets within the territory and provide for improved communications and coordination between local and federal agencies. He also served for a number of years as an affiliate member of the Guam Hotel & Restaurant Association’s Safety and Security Committee, working to provide a safe destination for tourists and creating an extended network for public safety through improved communication and coordination between private security and the police.
 
Mr. Kabina’s strong belief in community partnerships and outreach led to the development of a special investigative program for street level police officers to more effectively follow up on citizen criminal complaints and in particular issues dealing with minorities. As part of his outreach campaign he organized the first training seminar for the Civilian Policing Initiative, a community policing program that trained civilian volunteers to assist police officers with intervention and mediation within the various ethnic communities of Guam.
 
Prior to becoming chief, Mr. Kabina successfully negotiated numerous hostage situations as a member and the senior negotiator of the police department’s Crisis Negotiation Team. He also provided training and risk assessments to private business groups and organizations, particularly in the area of violence in the work place.
 
Addressing juvenile drug use, Mr. Kabina served on the Executive Committee of the Juvenile Drug Court, which acquired federal funding to implement a program which provided an effective vehicle for the executive, judicial and legislative branches to work in concert to tackle juvenile drug issues both within and outside the school system.
 
Mr. Kabina served as an adjunct and assistant instructor at the community college, the university, and the Criminal Justice Academy. He served on the community college’s Criminal Justice Advisory Committee, working to improve curriculum and training. He has been a frequent guest lecturer on law enforcement related issues at various schools, businesses and community organizations as well as other government agencies both local and federal.
 
After his retirement as chief, Mr. Kabina has worked as a program manager and senior advisor to international organizations and police in the Balkans on police reforms and philosophy change in policing. Specific areas include policing in diverse communities through outreach and the investigation of targeted criminal activities against minorities; improved communications between the police, media and the community; capacity building; and transparency, accessibility and accountability of the police.
