The announcement comes shortly after the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) became the first county police department in Hawaiʻi to join the nationwide 30×30 Pledge, an initiative focused on advancing the representation, experiences, and well-being of women in policing. "This is a significant milestone for HPD," said Honolulu Police Chief David Lazar. "We have outstanding women serving and leading throughout the department, and we're committed to building on that momentum by creating more opportunities for women to succeed at HPD." Women currently make up 14% of HPD's sworn officers, compared with approximately 12% of full-time sworn officers at state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics. "I could not be more proud of these 16 women who have stepped forward to serve our community," said Mayor Rick Blangiardi. 📞 Have info?
