Kailua Arrest Records Database

Kailua arrest records come out of HPD District 4, the First Circuit Court, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. Kailua sits on the windward side of Oahu, east of the Koolau range. The Kailua Substation handles patrol and booking for the town. Kailua is also home to the Women's Community Correctional Center, the state's only all-female prison. Daily adult arrest logs go up on the HPD site every morning. Use this page to find the right Kailua arrest records tool, from live arrest logs to expungement forms and HCJDC printouts.

Kailua Arrest Records and HPD District 4

Kailua is part of HPD District 4. The Kailua Substation is at 219 Kuulei Road, Kailua, HI 96744. The front desk is (808) 723-8838. District 4 also covers Kaneohe, Kahuku, and the rest of the windward coast. Officers based here handle Kailua calls, run booking, and file the reports that become part of Kailua arrest records.

The Kailua Substation does not release full arrest reports at the counter. For a copy of a Kailua arrest record, a signed, notarized request has to go to the HPD Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street. The Kailua desk can, though, confirm if a report exists and point you to the right form.

The Honolulu Police Department main site hosts all district info. Kailua arrest records are posted together with every other Oahu arrest in the daily county-wide log. The HPD office locations page maps each District 4 address and posts phone lines for each substation.

The HPD home page is the main hub for Kailua arrest records and District 4 contact info.

Daily Kailua Arrest Logs

HPD uploads adult arrest logs each day. Kailua arrests land in the county-wide log. Each line shows date and time of arrest, the name, age, sex, and race of the person, the officer's name, the offense, and the report number.

Logs sit on the site for 14 days. After that, they rotate off. For a log older than 14 days, mail a written request to the Records and Identification Division. Phone and walk-in requests are not taken for old logs. Juvenile arrest info is never posted.

The Alapai headquarters also keeps a paper log on a security board 24 hours a day. That is open to the public. HPD does not run name searches for you. You have to read the log yourself.

HCJDC Access for Kailua

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is the state's central office for adult criminal history record information. HCJDC runs eCrim, the online portal for Kailua arrest records that ended in conviction.

An eCrim search costs $5 per name. An official printed report from eCrim costs $12. Searches are kept only while you stay logged in. After 30 minutes of no activity, or logout, the search data clears. You pay by credit or debit card on the site.

For a walk-in Kailua arrest records check, the nearest HCJDC public access sites are at HPD Beretania Street and the HCJDC office at 465 S. King Street, Room 102. Each printout is $25. Pay by money order or cashier's check. Certification of a record costs an extra $20.

The HCJDC FAQ walks through fees, payment rules, and why a fingerprint check is more reliable than a name check. Kailua residents often prefer eCrim for a quick scan, then a fingerprint check if the case is more serious.

The HCJDC public access sites page shows every walk-in location near Kailua.

First Circuit Court for Kailua

Kailua criminal cases are filed at the First Circuit Court at 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. Basic case data is free on eCourt Kokua. A PDF of a filing costs $3 flat for 1 to 30 pages. Pages past 30 cost 10 cents each. Certified copies add $2.

The circuit code "1" goes in front of Kailua case IDs. For very old cases, pad the digits with leading zeros to hit 12 characters. Example: CR-15-1-5678 becomes 1PC151005678. The Judiciary updates the portal each evening. Appellate opinions are free.

The Legal Navigator Hawaii guide helps new users search. Phone support for eCourt Kokua is (808) 538-5333. Court hours run Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Women's Community Correctional Center

The Women's Community Correctional Center (WCCC) is in Kailua at 42-477 Kalanianaole Highway, phone (808) 266-9675. WCCC is Hawaii's only all-female facility. Capacity is 276. It holds both pre-trial detainees and sentenced women from across the state.

WCCC is run by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. DCR took over from the former Department of Public Safety on January 1, 2024. The sheriff divisions moved to the new Department of Law Enforcement at the same time. The Oahu Section number is (808) 587-5002.

For a Kailua arrest that led to WCCC custody, the path is the same as any other Oahu arrest. Booking happens first at OCCC in Honolulu for women brought in by HPD. Transfers to WCCC occur later, often after the first court date. Records of the arrest itself still live with HPD and HCJDC, not with the prison.

UIPA and Expungement for Kailua Arrest Records

Hawaii's public records law is the Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F. UIPA sets the rules for how HPD, the Judiciary, and HCJDC respond to a Kailua arrest record request. Agencies have 10 working days to reply, with an optional 20-day extension.

For sheriff files, mail the Department of Law Enforcement at 715 South King Street, Room 505, or email law.uiparequest@hawaii.gov. For police reports, mail the HPD Records Division. The HPD police reports page lists the form rules and fees: $0.50 first page, $0.25 each added page.

If a Kailua arrest ended in no conviction, HRS 831-3.2 lets you apply to have the record sealed. Use the HCJDC expungement program. A first filing is $35 (with a $10 non-refundable fee). Later filings are $50. The process takes 120 days.

An expungement order does not cover every case. A bail forfeiture on a felony or misdemeanor blocks the order. A five-year wait applies to a petty misdemeanor or violation that ended in bail forfeiture. Check HRS 846-2.7 for the full list of authorized uses of a Hawaii criminal history record check.

Starting July 1, 2025, expungement orders go straight from HCJDC to the Judiciary. Kailua applicants no longer have to contact the courts on their own to seal the case record. Orders issued before that date still need a separate step. If an application is denied, HCJDC refunds the fee minus the $10 processing charge.
