Hawaii Five-0 Task Force

The **Hawaii Five-0 Task Force** is a fictional state government police taskforce appearing in the CBS police procedural series *Hawaii Five-0*.

## Jurisdiction

The force has jurisdiction throughout the state of Hawaii.

## Information

* A division of the Hawaii Department of Public Safety, the taskforce was created by the Governor of Hawaii. It has jurisdiction to investigate all crimes on the island from terrorism and kidnapping to robbery and murder.
* Unlike other law enforcement agencies in the state, the task force reports directly to the Governor of Hawaii, who serves as head and administrator of the unit.
* The task force recruits both civilians and former law enforcement, as well as former members of the US Armed Forces. Those without law enforcement backgrounds are required to undergo police academy training in Honolulu before being admitted to the taskforce.
* On certain paperwork and badges the force is instead referred to as the **State of Hawaii Five-0 Unit**. Official tactical vests worn by taskforce members have patches that read **Five-0 Special Investigations**.
* Throughout the series the task force liaises with the Honolulu Police Department, the largest police department in the state.

## Uniform & Equipment

* The task force has no uniformed division, so a standard uniform does not exist. However all agents are equipped with a Five-0 Task Force Unit badge that is often displayed on their belts or body armour.
* Task force agents are seen carrying a variety of sidearms, including the SIG Sauer P226, SIG Sauer P229, SIG-Sauer P239, Heckler & Koch P30) and the Smith & Wesson M&P.

## Real Life Equivalent

No real life equivalent can be listed, no only due to the Five-0 Task Force being fictional, but due to the state of Hawaii having no real life state police agency.
