MOU status: DoD MOU current through June 1, 2028.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Summary

The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) is a Department of Defense SkillBridge program industry partner. Our SkillBridge program is for retiring or transitioning service members who are interested in a policing career with the HPD. Selected service members embark on an immersive experience during their last 90 days of service. During the program, service members gain valuable hands-on work experience, prepare for the police academy, and develop an understanding of the policing profession. Additionally, while in the program, service members can concurrently undergo the application process to be an entry-level police recruit at the HPD. The goal is that upon release from active duty, participants will enter into the next available HPD recruit class with the tools and skills to be successful in the police academy and in their policing career.

Eligibility

Eligibility & Criteria • Have at least 180 continuous days of active service • Completed service’s transition program • Able to secure approval from unit commander • Proof of HPD recruit application submission**Submitted only after accepting the employment training offer but no later than a week prior to the start of the program. In addition, the participant must be 20 years of age at the time of HPD recruit application submission – a minimum requirement for an HPD recruit applicant.

What the work involves

The program is three months long. Participants will be assigned to different departmental divisions. They will perform a variety of non-hazardous tasks that support police functions and develop knowledge of the basic functions and operations of the police department. Examples of work assignments include (but are not limited to) aiding the Human Resources Division with a college or career fair and assisting instructors at the police academy. Participants will also prepare for the rigors of the police academy and a policing career with the HPD through learning opportunities. Learning opportunities include (but are not limited to) tips for academic success at the police academy and ride-alongs with a veteran patrol officer.
