Benjamin Moszkowicz was appointed Chief of Hawai'i Police Department by the Hawai'i County Police Commission on December 16, 2022. Chief Moszkowicz comes to Hawai'i Island from Honolulu Police Department, where he most recently served as Major in the Traffic Division. (https://www.hawaiipolice.com/about-us/police-chief#:~:text=Police%20Chief%20Benjamin%20Moszkowicz,Major%20in%20the%20Traffic%20Division.) For police purposes the island is divided into two areas:

- Area II: west Hawaiʻi, which includes North Kohala, South Kohala, North Kona, South Kona, and Ka'ū, an area of 2,345 square miles (6,070 km2).
Each district is headed by a police captain, and each area by a commander.
