As an investigator for the Hawaiian Humane Society, Kevin Martin doesn't regularly bust down doors like his counterparts on the reality TV show "Animal Cops."
But Martin and the 11 other officers on staff do knock on doors to investigate animal cruelty complaints and rescue cats from storm drains, pick up strays and corral aggressive dogs on the loose.
They were also instrumental in rescuing more than 150 neglected dogs living in filthy conditions at a Waimanalo puppy mill last year.
Although the Honolulu officers aren't being followed around by camera crews, they get their share of action.
The Hawaiian Humane Society logged more than 15,800 calls in the last fiscal year alone, including 1,827 rescues and emergencies, 1,543 cruelty investigations and 2,160 reports of loose and aggressive dogs.
