Byrna began engaging with the State of Hawaii Sherriff's Division in May of 2022. The agency diligently evaluated various less-lethal platforms before ultimately selecting Byrna as their preferred choice. The introduction of Byrna devices into Hawaii will commence on the island of Oahu immediately, with plans for expansion to other islands within the state in the near future.

Training sessions with the State of Hawaii Sherriff's Division are already underway. As Byrna continues to make significant strides in its mission to provide advanced personal defense solutions to a wide range of clients, law enforcement agencies remain a key focus of the Company's expansion efforts.
