About our Mission Statement
In late 1994, then Chief Michael Nakamura brought together a group of employees from all facets of the department. He charged them with the task of formulating a mission statement which would guide our department into the future.
These sworn officers and civilian employees turned to their roots as members of our community, and examined their experiences living in this special place we call Hawaii. What they developed represents our mission and values of the Honolulu Police Department. It speaks for itself:
