The Honolulu Police Department is very proud of its employees, both civilian and sworn, especially when they go beyond the call of duty, as they so frequently do.  If you have witnessed an officer or civilian employee who has exemplified our motto of “Serving and Protecting with Aloha,” then we would like to hear about it. 

Letters of appreciation should describe the location, date, time, and events of the incident, along with the officer’s name, badge number, and report number (if available). This information helps us to identify the employee. In all cases, the employee and his or her supervisor are made aware of the outstanding performance, and a copy of the recognition is placed in the employee’s personnel file.

Although our employees do not expect to be thanked for serving the community, recognition of exceptional service is always appreciated.

You may send an email through the Online Email Form or you may send a letter or note of appreciation to:
