The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) received a $500,000 Project Grant award under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753), administered by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance. The funding will be used to acquire and deploy a specialized Cyber Command Response Vehicle (CCRV), a mobile digital forensics laboratory equipped with high-performance hardware and software. This investment will enhance HPD's investigative capabilities and digital forensics services to address the growing demand for cybercrime response and digital evidence processing in the Honolulu metropolitan area. The goal of this project is to provide the State of Hawaii with a fully capable, rapid-response digital forensics platform that can be deployed to any location to support the preservation and analysis of digital evidence related to cybercrime incidents.

The honolulu police department (HPD), the largest law enforcement agency in the state of hawaii, is responsible for leading the majority of criminal investigations within the city and county of honolulu. As cybercrime and the need for digital forensic examinations continue to rise annually, the HPD must evolve to keep pace with advancing technology. To address this growing demand and enhance its investigative capabilities, the hpds criminal investigation divisions (CID) cyber crimes detail (CCD) will utilize this funding to acquire and deploy a specialized vehicle. This investment will significantly improve the departments ability to serve and protect the public in the face of escalating cyber threats. The cyber command response vehicle (ccrv) is a mobile, digital forensics laboratory equipped with high-performance equipment and software that will provide a powerful capability to conduct large-scale digital forensic examinations at the scene of an incident. This will allow digital evidence to be preserved and will allow for faster recovery. The goal of this project is to provide the state with the capability to respond to cybercrime-related incidents with a fully equipped vehicle capable of providing digital forensic services at any given location.
