Honolulu has a much larger police force, and the city might have to put up considerably more than the $13 million that Maui agreed to pay.

The State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers (SHOPO) and the County of Maui announced a settlement agreement on Monday to compensate Maui police officers who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic via hazard pay.

Less than a month after an arbitrator ruled that thousands of state workers were owed COVID-19 hazard pay for their efforts during the pandemic, the County of Maui settled a grievance with the Maui Police Department for about $13 million.

Three Honolulu Police Department officers awaiting trial for allegedly causing a high-speed chase and crash and covering it up in Makaha in September 2021 were fired by the department.

The State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers and Maui County have reached a negotiated settlement agreement on hazard pay for Maui officers who remained on duty during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a SHOPO announcement.

Twenty-nine Honolulu police officers were disciplined in 2023 in connection with 28 incidents, including covering up police pursuits that ended in crashes and acquiring parts to build a ghost gun.
