I believe not! Hawaii 5-0 was Hawaii State Police not Honolulu city police. Still, your comment was inevitable!

I think 5-0 was a special task force set up by the Governor’s Office...Yes, I watched the updated version on CBS for many years...
By any measure, the original made its mark. Jack Lord with the original and then turn the production facilities over to Tom Sellick for another long run! So horrible to be paid to make Hawaii more glamorous!
