Since the couple filed a civil suit, maybe it would have been more economical to train officers ahead of time instead of becoming engaged in a lawsuit that will likely cost the department and people of Hawaii big bucks and will engage them in a national debate with them as the focus.
A vacationing couple ordered not to leave the island having to sleep in parks and not able to leave for 5 months before the charges were dismissed? Five months?

That first part is easy to say. Not so easy in practice when it requires time and money to do so. Then money to pay the qualified people to take the job. Who wants to do a job for 40k a year where everyone hates you and many want to harm you? And then you only train those people for less than 800 hours? And pay them crap for that too?
Our system is broken for getting cops. Not just in training them
