Kona luncheon to honor Officer of the Month John Harvey

The Kona Crime Prevention Committee selected Hawaiʻi Island Police Department’s John Harvey as their latest Officer of the Month.

Harvey will be honored for his exceptional investigative efforts on July 1 at the monthly Officer of the Month Luncheon at Huggo’s Restaurant in Kailua-Kona. The 11 a.m. event is open to the public, but due to limited seating, attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets before the June 29 RSVP deadline.

Harvey also received the honor a year ago for his investigative work and initiative in uncovering a fraudulent scheme targeting visitors to West Hawaiʻi.

The luncheon also will feature a presentation by Special Agent Emily Moore of the FBI Honolulu Field Office’s Kona Resident Agency.

Moore joined the FBI in 2019 and has investigated violent crime, gang activity and transnational organized crime. Before becoming an FBI agent, she served as a patrol officer and mounted unit officer with the Orlando Police Department.

She holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Central Florida and serves as an FBI Crisis Negotiator. Moore also deploys nationwide as part of the FBI’s Violent Crime Rapid Deployment Team, assisting with critical law enforcement operations.
