Hawaii is the only U.S. state where law enforcement is handled exclusively by county-level police departments rather than county sheriffs. The state has 4 county police departments — Honolulu, Hawaii County, Maui, and Kauai. The only statewide sheriff-like body is the Hawaii Sheriff Division, a state-level unit within the Department of Public Safety that provides courthouse security and statewide process service — it is not a county sheriff in the traditional sense.
