"We do it all here," Donohue told the Rotary Club of Honolulu at The Royal Hawaiian Hotel in one of his final public appearances as chief. "We're a one-stop shop."

Donohue, 61, will retire July 1 after six years in charge of more than 2,000 officers. He leaves the $110,000-a-year job more than three years before his five-year term expires.

During his term, Donohue guided the department through a national accreditation process that resulted in what he has called a landmark accomplishment. In July 2003, the department became one of 600 departments of 17,000 police agencies in the nation to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, a commission that recognizes excellence in law enforcement service.

Donohue also said his accomplishments included fortifying the state's homeland security practices.

All of these accomplishments, he said, were done at a time when the department was understaffed.

"Our employees are our most important asset," he said. "It is our family."

After his talk, Donohue said he wants to spend more time with his family, focus on martial arts and play more golf.
