The state's Sheriff Division is looking to fill positions across the island chain. The agency will be hiring people for work on Oahu, Maui and Kauai, but their biggest push is to find qualified applicants on the island of Hawaii."I am very pleased with what this means for the safety and security of the residents of Hawaii Island and, in particular, for my own district of West Hawaii," said State Representative Nicole Lowen (Kailua-Kona, Holualoa, Kalaoa, Honokohau).
