Today we recognize International Day of Friendship, a reminder that behind every badge is a network of trust, loyalty, and support. In this profession, friendship isn’t just personal, it’s operational. It’s the partner who has your back on a tough call, the teammate who checks in after a long shift, and the bond that keeps us grounded through the challenges we face.

Strong friendships make strong officers, and strong officers build stronger communities. Today, we acknowledge those connections and the role they play in keeping us and our communities safe.

Stay safe, look out for each other, and thank a partner who’s stood by you.

07/24/2026

Today we honor the parents who show up, day in and day out, for their families and their communities. To the moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers who support our officers and keep Hawaiʻi’s households strong, mahalo for everything you do. Your love and sacrifice make it possible for us to serve. Happy Parent Appreciation Day.

07/19/2026

Today is National Ice Cream Day. This summer, we’d love to see our communities share a cold treat and a warm conversation with an officer. If you spot an officer out and about, say hi, snap a photo, and enjoy a scoop together. Small moments of connection go a long way on a hot Hawaiʻi day.

07/17/2026

Happy World Emoji Day! Today we’re celebrating how a simple symbol can say what’s hard to put into words, just like our members do every day on the job.

At SHOPO, communication and connection matter, whether it’s in a briefing room, at the bargaining table, or out in the community. World Emoji Day is a good reminder that even small things can help us be heard and understood.

The State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers strongly disagrees with recent testimony at the Honolulu Police Commission suggesting that recognizing the good work of police officers has no place on the commission’s agenda.
That view is wrong on the facts and wrong for this community.

The Honolulu Police Commission is charged with oversight, accountability, and serving as a voice for the public on policing on Oahu. That role is not limited to discipline and punishment. It also includes setting expectations, reinforcing standards, and acknowledging when officers meet or exceed those standards in their daily work.

If we want better policing, we cannot pretend that only the negative moments matter.

SHOPO supports thorough and transparent investigations into misconduct. Addressing problems directly is essential to maintaining public trust and improving the department. At the same time, it is equally important to recognize the many officers who are doing the job the right way every day, with integrity, restraint, and professionalism.

You do not build a healthy police culture by focusing only on failure. You build it by holding people accountable when they fall short and recognizing them when they meet the standards our community expects.
We commend the Honolulu Police Commission and Chief David Lazar for engaging the community on both fronts, addressing concerns while also highlighting and honoring good work. SHOPO stands ready to work with the Chief and the commission to strengthen accountability, improve transparency, and support officers who serve Honolulu the right way.
The people of Honolulu deserve fair, balanced, and effective oversight. That means confronting problems honestly while also recognizing what is working.
