The City and County of Honolulu’s core mission is to fulfill our responsibility — to both our residents and visitors to our island home — to make our communities safer, our neighborhoods happier, and our public spaces more accessible for everyone. The members of our team speak often about the unparalleled sense of responsibility they feel every day – that their work matters, not just to themselves, but to their friends, neighbors and ʻohana. Police officers, firefighters, paramedics and lifeguards make our communities safer; our road crews ensure fast, efficient and comfortable transportation; our parks department provides clean, green public spaces and recreational opportunities; and our satellite city hall, motor vehicle licensing and planning and permitting teams work with the public to provide the critical services that keep us moving forward.
