 RESEARCH ABSTRACT

The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) is the principal law enforcement agency of the

City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, headquartered in the Alapa'i Police Headquarters

in Honolulu CDP.

Officially recognized as a part of the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1846, the

police department serves the entire island of O'ahu (which is coextensive with the City

and County of Honolulu), covering over 600 square miles (1,600 km2) of territory, with

just over 900,000 residents (not including military members) and over four million

annual visitors. The island is divided into 8 patrol districts which are then subdivided into

sectors and beats. HPD currently has more than 2,500 employees, 2,134 of which are full-

time sworn officers. A 2003 Department of Justice report listed HPD as the 20th largest

police department in the nation. Unlike the other 49 states, Hawaii does not have a state

police agency per se or individual city agencies; law enforcement is the jurisdiction of the

individual county governments. HPD is nationally accredited by the Commission on

Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies and received the CALEA TRI-ARC

Excellence Award from them in 2006.

 I. HISTORY

HPD History – Introduction

From our roots in Hawaiian culture to our modern equipment and personnel,

the Honolulu Police Department is like no other police department in the

nation.

There is no state police in Hawaii. Each of the four counties in the state is

responsible for its own police force. The City and County of Honolulu has the

largest population in the state and is located on the island of Oahu.

Hawaii is the only state in the Union that has a royal palace on its soil. Prior to

becoming a state and territory of the United States, the Hawaiian Government

was a Constitutional Monarchy. The Honolulu Police Department's history

can be traced to an Act to Organize the Executive Departments of the

Government approved by King Kamehameha the Third in 1846.

The next few pages will tell a little about the background and history of law

enforcement in Honolulu. This web version is based on "The Legacy of Kapu

Kanawai 1750-2000", initially edited by then Captain Barbara Uphouse Wong

and Daryl Jean Aiwohi in the early 90's. It was adapted for the Web by Aaron

Correia in the late 90's. Additional information was provided by Pat Oda.

 Law Enforcement in Pre-Contact Hawaii

Ancient Hawaii, or pre-contact Hawaii, is usually referred to as the time period prior to

1778 when Captain James Cook "discovered" the Hawaiian Islands. Each island was

ruled by a chief who was considered a god. At birth these chiefs were given the authority

to proclaim the law.

Law enforcement in pre-contact-Hawaii is commonly called the kapu system. The idea of

kapu was a way of governing based on tradition. There were different kapu for different

infractions. The most serious were laws of the gods, or kapu akua, and laws of the chief,

or kapu ali'i.

The task of bringing criminals to justice was the duty of the 'ilamuku whose office was

hereditary. Those who broke the kapu akua and kapu ali'i were bound with rope and

taken to the chief for adjudication. Justice was swift. Infractions of the kapu akua were

capital crimes and the chief made the decision between life and death. Violations of kapu

ali'i were dealt with less severely.

However formidable the kapu akua, it also provided for pardon, clemency, absolution,

and mercy. This was known as pu'uhonua or 'refuge' from capital punishment.

In 1782, prior to the unification of the Hawaiian Islands, the great chief Kamehameha I

had a personal experience which resulted in the enactment of one of the most well-known

of all his laws. Kamehameha I had set out in a canoe to raid the coast of Puna on the Big

Island of Hawaii. He came upon two fishermen who were subjects of his enemy. Upon

seeing the chief, they fled. Kamehameha pursued them across a lava field when his foot

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 got caught in a crevice and he was unable to free himself. Upon seeing Kamehameha's

predicament the two men returned and attacked him, using their canoe paddles as

weapons. The attack was so brutal that one of the paddles splintered when Kamehameha

was struck on the head. He was left for dead but Kamehameha later recovered from the

attack. After uniting the islands he recalled the incident and commemorated it in one of

his best known edicts, Mamalahoe Kanawai which meant Law of the Splintered Paddle.

Law of the Splintered Paddle:

O my people,

Honor thy god;

respect alike [the rights of] men great and humble;

See to it that our aged, our women, and our children

Lie down to sleep by the roadside

Without fear of harm.

Disobey, and die.

Kamehameha II (Liholiho) is credited with overthrowing the kapu system in 1819. The

king sat down to eat with his chiefesses in public and abolished the kapu 'ai. The highest

ranking priest at the time, Hewahewa, renounced his office. Kamehameha II then decreed

that all the temples should be abolished throughout the kingdom. Across the entire island

chain the priests followed the command and by this single act many kapus were

abolished. The overthrow of the kapu system was not only the ending of the 'ai kapu law

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

but a complete overthrow of the entire power of the office of the priesthood and a

liberation of the whole society from the binding force of the kapu akua and the kapu kino

of the gods. There exists no other society in the history of the world in which the kings

ended their own divine right to power.

The Roots of the Honolulu Police Department

In 1840 a supreme court was formed in Hawaii and King Kamehameha III established the

Hawaiian nation's first constitution.

On April 27, 1846 an Act to Organize the Executive Departments of the Government was

was given final approval by King Kamehameha III. This Act established various

Executive Judicial Officers.

The highest ranking officer was the Marshal of the Kingdom whose primary

responsibilities were to nominate the Sheriffs and then to instruct, supervise and control

them in the performance of their duties. The Act specified that the marshal shall

recommend a sheriff for each of the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai and that

the governors of each island would approve and appoint these sheriffs. These sheriffs

would have supervisory control and direction of the constables appointed for their

respective islands.

As of January, 1847, the Police Force consisted of two officers and thirty-four men. Their

distinguishing marks were an insignia consisting of a scarlet crown bearing the initials

"K.III" which they wore on the arm and a red band on their caps.

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 In 1893, the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown and replaced by the Provisional

Government of Hawaii. In 1894, the newly proclaimed Republic of Hawaii formed its

own police system.

After a few years under the governance of the Territory of Hawaii, four county

governments were established out of the original administrative regions of the monarchy.

In 1905, each county established a police department led by an elected sheriff.

The Sheriff of Honolulu were:

A.M. Brown 1905-1906

Curtis P. Iaukea 1907-1909

William P. Jarrett 1910-1914

Charles G. Rose 1915-1923

David K. Trask 1924-1926

David L. Desha 1927

The octagon-shaped police badge used in the 1880's through the 1920's was similar in

appearance to those of other police departments of that period. In the 1920's the badge

was redesigned with an eagle on top.

The Beginnings of the Modern Honolulu Police Department

In the late 1920's and early 1930's crime was on the rise in Honolulu. The handling of

several high-profile cases including the Jamieson kidnaping-murder and Massie rape case

widened the gap between locals and foreigners. Due to increased pressure from a group

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 of prominent women in the community Governor Lawrence M. Judd appointed a

Governor's Advisory Committee on Crime. This committee recommended that "there

should be a police commission appointed by the Mayor of the City and County of

Honolulu, with the approval of the Board of Supervisors, whose duty it would be to

appoint a Chief of Police and to supervise the operating of the police department" and

that "the office of the Sheriff be retained and that the Sheriff be charged with the duty of

serving civil process, maintaining the Honolulu Jail, and to act as Coroner."

In 1931 the Honolulu Police Department's police station was located at corner of Bethel

Street and Merchant Street.

Governor Judd convened a Special Session of the Legislature and on January 22, 1932, it

passed Act 1, carrying out the recommendations by the Governor's Advisory Committee

on Crime. Act 1 established the Honolulu Police Commission and provided for an

appointed Chief of Police. The Commission immediately appointed businessman Charles

F. Weeber to be the first Chief of Police.

In February 1932, the Honolulu Police Department acquired a RCA shortwave radio

transmitter. This soon established itself as one of the Department's most important

toolsOn August 12, 1932, Chief Weber resigned as Chief and replaced George Ii Brown

on the Commission. On the same date William Gabrielson was appointed Chief of Police.

Gabrielson came from the Berkeley Police Department in California. In that time period

police officers wore seven point star badges. Starting in 1932 the Honolulu Police

Department's 7 point star was known as the "Berkeley Star". In the late 1940's a new

design for our badge was created but it wasn't introduced until 1952.

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 The War Years 1941 – 1950

During this period the principal concern of the Police Commission and Department

administrators was personnel resources. Many of the Department's younger officers had

been called into the military service joining their brother officers who had volunteered.

There was a possibility that others would be called, or would volunteer, and replacements

were not in great quantity.

In July of 1941, the Commission authorized the Chief of Police to train "volunteers" to be

trained in the fundamentals of police work if they were qualified. Douglas G. King was

given the rank of Assistant Chief in charge of what was to be called the Honolulu Police

Reserves. He was an unpaid volunteer. Notable among the members of the first group of

reserve officers was R. Alex Anderson, a noted musician and composer of hapa haole

songs.

On December 7, 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Governor Joseph B. Poindexter

signed a proclamation by which he turned the Territory of Hawaii over to the military.

The Territory was immediately declaired to be under martial law. The Honolulu Police

Department became a deputized military force. The word "Emergency" was etched above

the "Honolulu" on the seven-point star badges of police officers. Police officers had to

make adjustments to this strange new way of policing and they found themselves

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

enforcing a completely new code known as the Orders of the Military Governor. Criminal

trials were conducted by a military judge an Provost Court.

The San Jose State Spartans football team served with the Honolulu Police Department

for the duration of the war. The team had played a game against the University of Hawaii

Warriors but were stranded in Hawaii after the Pearl Harbor attack. The players

volunteered for police duty to enforce blackout regulations and to help guard the city's

waterworks. Some of the players remained in Hawaii and enlisted in the military.

Honolulu experienced a phenomenal growth in population during the latter part of 1941

and during 1942 due to the increases in the strength of the armed forces. Despite an

almost doubled population there was a decrease in criminal offenses. The significant

reduction in crime was attributed to the operation of the Provost Court, blackout

regulations, early curfew, and other restrictions of movements and activities of the

general public. Nearly every employable person was working, and many worked a

considerable amount of overtime.

During the mid 1940's the Police Commission requested the assistance of the Public

Prosecutor of Honolulu and the Attorney General of the Territory in conducting a

gambling payoff investigation. There were a series of suspensions, including that of a

captain assigned to the Vice Division. Several officers went to trial and were cleared, but

one was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Chief Gabrielson resigned for

"personal reasons" and the Police Commission said it was not in any way connected with

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

the pay-off scandal. The department was rocked at its roots, but it emerged stronger and

totally reorganized.

William Hoopai took the oath of Chief on July 1, 1946. He is credited with the creation

of the Metro Squad, an elite unit assigned as gang busters and with creating a Plans and

Training Bureau. Chief Hoopai retired in 1948.

In 1952 the style of HPD's current badge was introduced.

Daniel S.C. Liu, who began his career in the Honolulu Police Department as a clerk, was

appointed to the Chief of Police position on October 1, 1948. Hawaii became the 50th

State on August 21, 1959.

The Growing Years

With the advances in air travel in the 1960's Hawaii's tourist industry grew rapidly.

Besides the many curious and vulnerable visitors to the islands there was also a concern

that Hawaii could become a "cooling-off" area for criminal types who needed to leave

their own localities. There was also some thought that some highly sophisticated

criminals with an organization behind them may see Hawaii as an ideal place from which

to direct their operations. Besides being a favorite vacation area, Hawaii was also a land

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

rich in source areas for confidence game operators and vice criminals. Chief Liu initiated

strong enforcement programs against vice criminals.

From 1960 on, court rulings on defendant rights and rules of evidence brought about

strict new guidelines for procedures used by police during the course of an investigation.

In some cases, what used to be permissible was suddenly unlawful. The Department

began intensive training programs for senior officers and new recruits. It stressed the

importance of officers not only being capable of enforcing the law, but also

knowledgeable of the law itself. The recognition of "minority groups" and somewhat new

and at times shocking decisions of appellate courts had a definite effect on police

operations. The assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, the Reverend Martin Luther

King, and Robert Kennedy and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, and the flight and

capture of James Earl Ray, all contributed in some definite way to point out that an

upgrading of police standards and values had to be undertaken immediately.

The Honolulu Police Department had to deal with the same serious problems that the

nation faced, with young adults expressing dissatisfaction with the "Establishment", drug

abuse, and a general disrespect for the law. It became necessary for officers to be aware

of deeper sociological problems involved with dealing with people instead of being mere

"enforcers" of the law..

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 Chief Liu retired in 1969 after serving 20 years as chief. Francis Keala was promoted

from captain of the Finance Division to Chief in 1969. This same year the

Communications Division changed from Police Officer status to that of civilian status.

This move released police officers from "inside" clerical positions so that they could be

utilized more effectively in regular beat patrol duties. This lead to the review and

civilianization of other jobs in the department.

In 1975 the Department changed the badge designation of "Patrolman" to that of

"Officer". The change was necessary when the first females were accepted into the

department to perform the same patrol function former the domain of males only. The

females were required to undergo the same qualifications testing procedures as the males,

and if successful, they were enrolled in the Recruit Training course. Females were

afforded no special treatment. The first female patrol officers were Mary Beck and

Barbara Uphouse who were commissioned in 1975. The lowering of height, weight and

vision requirements lead to equal opportunities usually denied to females and minority

groups.

Douglas B. Gibb was appointed Chief of Police on June 20, 1983 after Chief Keala

retired. During Chief Gibb's administration the department garnered a global perspective

as national and international type crimes became commonplace. High tech advances in

computerization and in police equipment and techniques improved crime detection.

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 HPD in the 90's

In 1990 the Honolulu Police Department implemented the Automated Fingerprint

Identifications System (AFIS). It is managed by the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center

and stores over 180,000 criminal fingerprint records. The majority of comparisons

verifies the identity of arrested persons. Fingerprints of suspects entered into AFIS and

compared to file prints can verify correct names and previous arrest records. The high

speed comparison of crime scene partial fingerprints or latent prints to the data base is a

boon to crime detection. This function resulted in almost 400 "hits" or positive

identifications in the first two years of its operation. These "hits" probably would never

have occurred prior to the implementation of AFIS.

Chief Michael S. Nakamura was sworn in on August 1, 1990. Under Chief Nakamura the

Department became involved with community policing and community problem solving.

On October 16, 1992, the grand opening of Honolulu's eighth main station, Hale Maka'i,

was held.

Honolulu Police Department's crime lab has been expanded to provide statewide services.

This unit consists of professionals with certification in natural and biological sciences.

They are responsible for processing evidence recovered from persons and crime scenes

PAGE NUMBER (EDIT)

 through microscopy and instrumentation analysis. Their work includes serology, trace

evidence, drugs and alcohol, firearms, tool marks and document examination. Among the

newest and technologically advanced areas is the crime lab's DNA unit.

Women continued to advance within the Department's ranks. On February 16, 1997,

Barbara Uphouse Wong was promoted to the rank of Assistant Chief. She was one of the

first female officers commissioned by the Honolulu Police Department back in 1975.

Chief Nakamura retired on December 30, 1997, after 27 years of service. Lee Donohue

was named Chief of Police on April 13, 1998.

As the 1990s came to an end the Honolulu Police Department began to implement new

and improved technology. Our police radio system was improved. A digital mug system

went on-line at the main station in April, 1997. Imaging of police reports began in

December, 1998. By late 1999 laptops capable of receiving and transmitting information

were installed in selected police vehicles.

In the summer of 1999 the department was about to start training officers on the use of an

Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This instrument proved its value when it saved

the life of one of our own -- Chief Lee Donohue. He collapsed after participating in arrest

procedures competition at the police academy. Fortunately, with the use of the AED, he

did not sustain any heart damage and was able to return to work after a few weeks.

Officer retention was another topic of discussion in 1999. Many officers were recruited

by police departments in the Pacific Northwest -- in Oregon and Washington State.

Officers from Hawaii formed their own group years ago -- the Northwest Maka'i Ohana.

 ll. LAWS

In response to a crime wave in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a combined result of

increased racial tensions between whites and local ethnics and the outcome of the Massie

case involving too much political influence on the Police, Territorial Governor Lawrence

M. Judd appointed a Governor's Advisory Committee on Crime. The committee

recommended that a police commission be appointed by the mayor of Honolulu whose

duty would be to appoint a chief of police and to supervise the operating of the police

department. The committee also advised that the office of sheriff should be retained and

charged with the duty of serving civil process, of maintaining the Honolulu prison system

and to act as coroner. On January 22, 1932, a special session of the territorial legislature

passed Act 1, establishing the Honolulu Police Commission and creating the office of

chief of police. Thus was born the modern Honolulu Police Department as it exists today.
