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

The new website features:

• An events page of police outreach efforts;

• A FAQ page featuring frequently asked questions;

• The history of HPD;

• K9s of HPD;

• HPD’s Police Memorial Wall and bios of the department’s 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 about civilian and sworn positions, as well as current positions available in the department.

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

The new website also features 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.

The department’s old website domain, hawaiipolice.com, was taken down for maintenance and will come back online in a few days as an archive site featuring the department’s media releases dating back to when the website first launched in March 1999.
