Enter the brazen, yet strangely traditional and genteel, world of illegal gambling with a local cock-fighting entrepreneur who has a very special relationship with the cops.
Tourists falling victim to beach theft, traffic problems, the homeless enjoying all Hawaii has to offer, barricaded suspects, Chinatown drugs….and more.
Hawaii is an ancient land steeped in tradition and aloha. But modern times bring modern challenges. After a fast-changing world came calling, Hawaiian law-enforcement adapted….but with a style and pace all its own.
There are gang problems met with old-fashioned-style policing and the Chief of Police puts on his black belt to head up his karate class for at-risk kids.

This may be paradise, but the Honolulu Police Department is all too aware of the dangers a life in law enforcement can pose - and HPD is determined to give officers every skill they need to get the job done.
