HPD District 3 Coverage in Pearl City

Pearl City sits inside HPD District 3. The Pearl City Police Station is at 1100 Waimano Home Road, Pearl City, HI 96782. The main desk number is (808) 723-8800. District 3 covers Pearl City, Aiea, Waipahu, Waipio, and parts of central Oahu. Officers based here respond to calls, make arrests, and file the booking data that ends up in Pearl City arrest records.

The station does not release full arrest reports on a walk-in basis. For a copy of a Pearl City arrest report, you need to send a signed, notarized request to the Records Division downtown at 801 South Beretania Street. Same rule holds for TRO service status questions. District 3 routes those calls, but the Records Unit writes and mails the reply.

The Honolulu Police Department main site has info on every district. Pearl City arrest records, though local in nature, are part of the county-wide HPD data set. That is why they get posted together with arrests from Honolulu, Kailua, and the North Shore.

Check the HPD office locations page for hours, phone lines, and a map of the Pearl City station and the other District 3 sites.

Pearl City Arrest Logs

HPD posts adult arrest logs every day. Pearl City arrests show up inside the county-wide log. Each entry includes the date and time of arrest, the person's name, age, sex, and race, the arresting officer, the offense, and the report number. No juvenile arrest info is ever posted.

Logs rotate off the HPD site after 14 days. If the arrest you need is older than that, mail a signed request to the Records and Identification Division. Walk-in and phone requests for logs over 14 days old are not accepted. The Records staff answer under the Office of Information Practices rules.

HPD does not run name searches on the logs. You have to read through the list yourself. The Central Receiving Division at Alapai headquarters also posts the logs on a security board 24 hours a day.

Pearl City Police Reports

HPD releases police reports under HRS Chapter 92F-13, part of the Uniform Information Practices Act. Pearl City arrest records requests go to the Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street. Reports can be released only once the case is closed and the investigation is complete.

Fees for a Pearl City arrest report are $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 per extra page. Colored copies run $0.65 per page. A verification letter costs $1.00 for the first page and $0.25 per extra page. Full payment must clear before release. For large or complex requests, HPD may ask for a deposit up front.

You must send a notarized and signed request letter, plus a copy of your photo ID, with every report request. For motor vehicle collision reports, call (808) 723-3258 first to check the status. The police reports page lists each step and all current fees.

HPD does not give out medical reports, TROs, injunctions, court filings, or personal clearance letters. For an official summary of a person's arrest record, use HCJDC and not HPD. That rule catches a lot of Pearl City residents by surprise.

HCJDC Access for Pearl City

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is Hawaii's central office for adult criminal history record information. HCJDC runs the CJIS-Hawaii system and eCrim, the state's public conviction portal. A name search on eCrim costs $5. A printed eCrim report costs $12.

For Pearl City residents who want a printed rap sheet, the two nearest HCJDC public access sites are at HPD headquarters on Beretania Street and the HCJDC office at 465 S. King Street, Room 102. Each printout is $25 and must be paid by money order or cashier's check. Certification of any record is $20 more.

Got questions before you pay? The HCJDC FAQ page covers fees, payment methods, what a name check does and does not show, and how to access your own record.

One rule trips people up often. HCJDC only holds Hawaii arrests. Out-of-state arrests, federal arrests, and juvenile records are not in the system. For juvenile record checks, call the Hawaii State Judiciary Family Court at (808) 954-8190. For multi-state or federal checks, a fingerprint submission to the FBI is the right route.

Pearl City Expungement

If a Pearl City arrest ended in no conviction, you can apply to have the record sealed. This is called expungement. Hawaii's rule is HRS 831-3.2. The HCJDC expungement program runs the process.

The fee is $35 for a first-time expungement and $50 for any after that. A $10 processing fee is non-refundable. Pay by cashier's check or money order to "State of Hawaii". Personal and business checks are not taken. The process runs 120 days. No rush service is offered.

Starting July 1, 2025, an expungement order is sent straight from HCJDC to the Judiciary. Applicants no longer have to contact the courts on their own to seal the case record. Older orders still need that extra step. The UIPA rules keep the expungement file itself confidential.
