Media Release

The Hawai‘i Police Department is pleased to announce that on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, it launched its newly redesigned website at www.hawaiipolice.gov. 

A year in the making, this is the first time the website has been updated since 2011. Members of the public will find a lot of new info, community resources, and other useful information. The website is mobile-responsive, meaning it is easy to use whether you are on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

“We are extremely excited to launch this new website and provide an easy-use-use and helpful resource to community members,” said Police Chief Benjamin Moszkowicz. 

The new website features sections on:

• An events page of police outreach efforts. 
• FAQ page featuring frequently asked questions.
• History of Hawai‘i Police Department.
• K9s of Hawai‘i Police Department.
• HPD’s Police Memorial Wall and bios of our fallen officers.

People can also easily find out how to obtain a police report, background check, request an active shooter presentation or station tour, as well as how to request a special duty officer.

Those seeking a career in law enforcement, will find detailed information on civilian and sworn positions, as well as current positions available in the department.

The new website also provides a wealth of safety tips for keiki, business owners, and kupuna. Teens and families can find info and resources on how to combat cyberbullying and sextortion, as well as scam prevention tips for the elderly.

One of the most exciting new features on the updated website is a Crime Map, provided by City Protect. At any time, members of the public can use the map to see what crimes have occurred in their neighborhood during a time frame of their choosing.

Please note that the department’s old website domain, hawaiipolice.com, will go down for maintenance once the new website goes live and will come back online a few days later as an archived media release site featuring the department’s media releases dating back to when the website first launched in March 1999.

We encourage you to spend a few minutes to take a look at the many new features offered on hawaiipolice.gov.
