Due to financial constraints some of the security positions were eliminated and contracted out. The K9 Services Section utilizes canines to detect narcotics and explosives on limited state properties on the island of Oahu. In 2007, the Sheriff Division was the first agency in the state to be certified with a Department of Homeland Security type III SWAT Team. The team could respond to an incident on state property on any island if it were needed. A Sheriff's Chaplain Corps began with one chaplain in 2004. Chaplains volunteer their time to assist in times of need. In 2009, 3 uniformed chaplains serve all sections and units within the Sheriff Division.
