Hawaii Police Patches
The Hawai'i County Police Department provides police services for the island of Hawai'i, known locally as the "Big Island". According to the 2010 Census, it covers 4,028.02 square miles (10,433 km2) of varied terrain with 185,079 residents and thousands of visitors.[1]
Operation Bureaus
The chief of police is Paul Ferreira.[2] For police purposes the island is divided into two areas:
- Area I: east Hawaiʻi, which includes the districts of Hāmakua, North Hilo, South Hilo and Puna, with total area of 1,685 square miles (4,360 km2)
- Area II: west Hawaiʻi, which includes North Kohala, South Kohala, North Kona, South Kona, and Ka'ū, an area of 2,345 square miles (6,070 km2).
Each district is headed by a police captain, and each area by a commander.[3]
Police car issue
As with the Honolulu Police Department, Hawaiʻi County Police has a fleet of marked police cars as well as subsidized police cars, meaning they allow officers to use their personally owned vehicles as police cars.[4]
