Recognizing Excellence in Law Enforcement and Security in Hawaii Since 1984
TOP COP Hawaii is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing public safety by awarding scholarships to students pursuing degrees in Criminal Justice and by recognizing excellence in law enforcement and professional security. Each October, TOP COP Hawaii hosts its annual Awards Ceremony, where scholarships are presented to deserving high school seniors and college students, and TOP COP Awards are given to outstanding individuals from our military, federal, state, city, and county law enforcement and security agencies for exceptional service over the past year. In addition to these awards, the following four distinguished honors are presented:
Randall “Randy” Mack Award

The recipient must have made a meaningful and sustained contribution over a period of at least five years.
Donald “Don” Devaney Award
Awarded to a local, federal, or military law enforcement or emergency management organization that has exhibited excellence in programming, innovation, or operational effectiveness. Areas of consideration include crime prevention, drug awareness, youth outreach, officer training, forensic advancements, public safety initiatives, and community policing. Recognized programs must demonstrate measurable success within a one-year period and reflect balance, innovation, community engagement, and cost effectiveness.
