About the Honolulu Police Department
The Honolulu Police Department was formally established in 1932 in Honolulu,
the capital city of the State of Hawaii. The department’s jurisdiction is the City and County of Honolulu. It includes
the entire island of Oahu, which has a circumference of about 137 miles and an area of some 596 square miles. The estimated
