Federal Bureau of Investigation
Hawaii Police Department
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
Department of Homeland Security

The correct answer is: Hawaii Police Department

In Hawaii, the responsibility for conducting background checks on firearm purchasers lies with the Hawaii Police Department. This is in accordance with Hawaii state law, which mandates that all individuals looking to purchase firearms must undergo a background check conducted by the local police department. The other options listed, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and Department of Homeland Security, do not typically handle the background checks for firearm purchases in Hawaii.
