text: Oh my aching head! What an opaque tangle the Hawaii Sheriff's Division is. As StoptheMadness notes, there is not likely more than one deputy in each of the roles at issue, but I challenge him/her to identify those individuals from resources available to the public. It's a challenge. Using the current DPS roster, lists of state employees & their salaries, and google, I may have identified one of those individuals. It seems the highest ranking/highest paid deputy sheriffs are sheriff deputies IV.  Presumably, these are the veterans who have worked their way through the system into command positions. Darryl Oku was a deputy III in July 2015 & now heads state capitol dispatch. His Linkedin profile lists his experience as "Executive Protection" & indicates he has been with DPS since September 1985.  He could easily be the "deputy sheriff who oversees sheriffs’ patrols at the state Capitol" or the "deputy sheriff in charge of the governor's security detail."
