Waipahu Arrest Records

Waipahu arrest records come from the Honolulu Police Department, the First Circuit Court, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. Waipahu sits on central Oahu, west of Pearl Harbor and south of the Waianae range. HPD District 3 runs patrol for the area out of the Pearl City station. The Waiawa Correctional Facility is also in town. Adult arrest logs go up daily on the HPD site and roll off after 14 days. Use this page to find the right Waipahu arrest records source, whether you need a quick log check, a full police report, or a certified rap sheet.

HPD Coverage of Waipahu Arrest Records

Waipahu sits inside HPD District 3, same as Pearl City, Aiea, and Waipio. Patrol officers for Waipahu report to the Pearl City Police Station at 1100 Waimano Home Road, Pearl City, HI 96782. The station number is (808) 723-8800. That is the desk to call for TRO service status or general District 3 questions.

The Pearl City station does not hand out full reports. Every Waipahu arrest record request has to go through the HPD Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street in Honolulu. The Records Unit keeps the official arrest files and mails out copies. The HPD office locations page lists every District 3 site and phone line.

The HPD main site pulls in Waipahu arrest records, District 3 contacts, and links to the Records Division.

HPD also runs an information hub with arrest logs, offense lookups, links to Hawaii Revised Statutes, and the Revised Ordinances of Honolulu. Waipahu residents use that page most often to find the current day's arrests or to check a specific statute cited on a report.

Waipahu Arrest Logs

HPD uploads adult arrest logs each day. Waipahu arrests sit inside the county-wide log with every other Oahu booking. Each line shows the date and time of arrest, the name, age, sex, and race of the person, the arresting officer, the offense, and the report number.

Logs stay up for 14 days. After that they rotate off the site and off the Alapai headquarters security board. For a log older than 14 days, mail a signed request to the Records and Identification Division. No walk-in or phone requests for old logs are taken. Juvenile arrest info is never posted, full stop.

HPD will not search the log for you by name. You have to scan the list yourself. That is spelled out in the Records Division policy. The department posts the raw log as a PDF or HTML file only.

First Circuit Court for Waipahu

All criminal cases that start in Waipahu go to the First Circuit Court at 777 Punchbowl Street in downtown Honolulu. Case info is free on eCourt Kokua. The Judiciary's support line for the portal is (808) 538-5333.

Most Waipahu arrest records in eCourt Kokua include case ID, charges, hearing dates, and docket entries. A PDF of a specific filing costs $3 flat for 1 to 30 pages. Pages past 30 cost 10 cents each. Certified copies add $2 per document. Heavy users can pay $125 a quarter or $500 a year for unlimited downloads.

Appellate opinions are always free. The circuit code "1" goes in front of Waipahu case IDs in eCourt Kokua. For old cases, pad the digits with leading zeros to hit 12 characters. The Legal Navigator Hawaii page walks through the format with examples.

The Judiciary search portal is the main route for Waipahu arrest records tied to a court case.

HCJDC, eCrim, and Public Access Sites

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 S. King Street, Room 102 is the state's central source for adult criminal history. HCJDC runs eCrim, which is the online portal for Waipahu arrest records that ended in conviction.

An eCrim name search costs $5. A printed eCrim report costs $12. Payment is by credit or debit card only on the website. You need the person's name, date of birth, sex, and, if known, the Social Security number to run a more accurate search.

Walk-in public access sites work a bit differently. The two nearest sites to Waipahu are HPD headquarters at 801 South Beretania Street and the HCJDC office at 465 S. King Street. Each printout is $25. Pay by money order or cashier's check to "State of Hawaii". No cash is taken.

Fingerprint checks cost $55 in person or $35 by mail. A roll of fingerprints alone is $25. Certification of any record is $20 more. A sex offender record printout is free. All this is posted in the HCJDC FAQ and updated when rates change.

HCJDC only holds Hawaii arrests. A Waipahu record that touches a federal case or an arrest in another state will not show in eCrim. For that data, you need a fingerprint check run through the FBI.

Waiawa Correctional Facility

The Waiawa Correctional Facility is in Waipahu at 94-560 Kamehameha Highway. Waiawa is run by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. DCR took over from the former Department of Public Safety on January 1, 2024.

Waiawa is a minimum-security men's prison. It does not hold pre-trial Waipahu arrestees. Those go to OCCC at 2199 Kamehameha Highway in Honolulu first. Once sentenced, some inmates transfer to Waiawa to serve time or attend treatment and work programs on site.

To confirm where a Waipahu arrestee is held, check the DCR inmate lookup through the main site. Sheriff divisions moved to the new Department of Law Enforcement in 2024, so the Oahu Section number is now (808) 587-5002. For police reports tied to a Waipahu arrest, the HPD police reports page has the form, the fees, and the ID rules.

UIPA and Hawaii Statutes

The Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F, is Hawaii's public records law. It is the legal basis for getting Waipahu arrest records from HPD, the Judiciary, and HCJDC.

Under UIPA, an agency has 10 working days to respond and can add a 20-day extension for unusual cases. Section 92F-22 lets agencies hold back criminal investigation records. Basic arrest facts, though, are still open. That is the rule that keeps the daily arrest log online. For sheriff files, mail the Department of Law Enforcement at 715 South King Street, Room 505, or email law.uiparequest@hawaii.gov.

Two statutes matter most for Waipahu arrest records. HRS 846-2.7 covers criminal history record checks and which agencies can run them. HRS 831-3.2 controls expungement of non-conviction arrests. The HCJDC expungement page has the form and fee info. The process runs 120 days and costs $35 for a first filing.
