The Hawaii Joint Police Association (HJPA is a nonpartisan group of more than 175 members. It was formally established in 1967 as the Hawaii Joint Military Police Association and has evolved into an organization representing all phases of law enforcement and private security. The "Mother" chapter of the HJPA is located in Honolulu. In 1999 the Big Island (Hawaii) Chapter was formed.

Our vision is to insure that Hawaii continues to be a society where there is greater freedom and security, increased respect for the rights of all, a renewed sense of personal civic responsibility, healthier and more interdependent neighborhoods, and increased pride in self and community.

We believe that crime prevention and the community police approach is paramount for a public and private security program. The HJPA is linked with helping to identify and solve security issues and cooperation is our byword. As the Coalition for Law Enforcement and Security has set the standards for all in the state of Hawaii we are proud that they allowed us to share their motto "E Pupukahi" -- "We are one."

Please support the HJPA with your suggestions, donations, and participation.
