This is a list of law enforcement agencies located in Hawaii.
According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics' 2008 "Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies," the state had 7 law enforcement agencies employing 3,234 sworn police officers, about 251 for each 100,000 residents. Hawaii is unique in that it is the only state within the U.S. that does not have a state police, state patrol, or highway patrol. However, the Sheriff Division of the Hawaii Department of Law Enforcement (DLE) serves as the de facto state police (and capitol police) agency of Hawaii. Conversely, the DLE Sheriff Division is the only sheriff’s department in the U.S. that officially serves the entire state. Additionally, investigators of the DLE serve as statewide investigators with full police powers across the state, akin to other state criminal investigatory agencies, such as the Georgia Bureau of Investigation or Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
