Introduction

Department of Public Safety oversees the state's Corrections Division, which includes state prisons and community correctional facilities, as well as the Law Enforcement Division, which includes the Narcotics, Protective Services, and Sheriff's Divisions.

Sheriff's Division

This division primarily enforces law enforcement duties on all persons, property, and buildings under the control of the State, including but not limited to the Honolulu International Airport, all buildings under the jurisdiction of the Judiciary, all State buildings in the Civic Center Complex, and the Hawaii State Capitol. Other responsibilities include enforcement of immigration laws, drug enforcement, homeland security, fugitive and criminal investigations, eviction proceedings, and traffic enforcement.

Special Operations Section

The fugitive unit, canine unit, and prisoner transport unit make up the special operations section.

Capitol Patrol Section

This section primarily focuses enforcement at State facilities, including but not limited to the Civic Center Complex, Judiciary system, and the Capitol, including Washington Place. It is made up of three units: patrol, dispatch, Hawaii State Hospital and Waimano Hospital Security, and Department of Defense Security Unit.

Airport Section

Provides security and law enforcement for Honolulu Airport, Kalaeloa, and Dillingham Airfield.

District Court Section

This section is made up of the patrol unit and cellblock unit. The patrol unit is responsible for providing security and protection of persons in the District Court facility and surrounding area. This unit staffs the rural district courts at Waianae, Ewa, Wahiawa, and Kaneohe. The cellblock unit is responsible for the intake, housing, transfer, distribution, and release of custodies and documentation of such to the appropriate agencies or authorized individuals.

Circuit Court Section

Same as the District Court Section, but also includes the Supreme Court Unit -- provides security and protective services for the Judges, courts, and surrounding property.

Executive Protective Section

Responsible for providing personal protective services to key State officials and other dignitaries as directed by the Director of Public Safety.

Jails and Prisons

The jails and prisons, and the Mainland Branch falls under the Institutions Division: the four community correctional centers for each county, and the four prisons (Halawa, Kulani, Waiawa, and the Women's Community Correctional Center)
