(AP) — The reassignment of Honolulu police union leaders was part of department-wide shuffling to put more officers on the streets, according to the police chief.

Police Chief Susan Ballard testified before the Hawaii Labor Relations Board on Friday after the police union filed a complaint last month, claiming the she violated the city’s collective bargaining agreement.

The State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers claimed that union President Tenari Maafala and other union officials were targeted and given less desirable assignments.
