Honolulu County Arrest Records Database

Honolulu County arrest records are kept by the Honolulu Police Department, the First Circuit Court, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. The county covers the entire island of Oahu. Daily adult arrest logs go up on the Honolulu PD site. Court case info is searchable on eCourt Kokua. Conviction data is available through eCrim or at two public access sites on Oahu. This page walks you through each of those Honolulu County arrest records tools and lists the phone numbers, addresses, and fees you need to use them.

Honolulu County Arrest Logs

The Honolulu PD arrest logs page posts adult arrest data daily. These are the most current public Honolulu County arrest records on the web. HPD's Information Technology Division downloads the logs each day and posts them to the site. Logs also show on a monitor 24 hours a day at the Alapai headquarters security post. Logs rotate out after 14 days.

Check the Honolulu PD arrest logs page for today's adult arrest data.

Each adult arrest log shows:

• Date and time of arrest
• Name, age, sex, and race of the arrestee
• Name of the arresting officer
• Nature of the offense
• Report number

Juvenile arrest info is never shown. HPD's policy says no juvenile arrest data goes to the public under any circumstance. HPD also does not run search services on the public log. You can only view or manually copy data from the log as posted. To get an arrest log older than 14 days, send a written request to the Records and Identification Division at 801 South Beretania Street. No walk-ins or phone requests for older logs. The division responds under the Office of Information Practices rules.

Honolulu Police Reports and Arrest Records

HPD's Police Reports page handles release of reports. Reports come out under UIPA (HRS Chapter 92F-13). HPD redacts names, home addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and phone numbers before release. Reports are only releasable once the investigation is done and the case is closed.

Go to the HPD police reports page for the request form and submission steps.

Fees are straight forward. Report copies cost $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 per extra page. Verification letters are $1.00 for page one and $0.25 after that. Color copies run $0.65 per page. Pay in full before HPD releases the report. Large or complex jobs may take a deposit up front. Reports over 10 pages may not be ready same day.

You need a copy of your ID and a signed, notarized request letter. The Records Division has three email channels: Public Report Requests, Government Report Requests, and Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Video Requests. For motor vehicle collision reports, call (808) 723-3258 first to see if the report is ready. Mail-in requests go to Honolulu Police Department, Attn: Records Division, 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813.

HPD does not release medical reports, temporary restraining orders, injunctions, court documents, clearance letters, or criminal abstracts. For an official summary of your own arrest record, go to HCJDC at 465 S. King Street, Room 102 in Honolulu, (808) 587-3279.

Honolulu PD Recent Highlights

HPD keeps a Recent Highlights page showing active and updated incidents across Oahu. The page lists the status (Initial or Update), the offense type, the location, and the date uploaded.

See the HPD highlights page for recent high-profile incidents on Oahu.

Recent listings include entries like unattended deaths, abuse cases, assaults on officers, animal cruelty, pistol offenses, sex assaults, thefts, reckless endangering, and unauthorized entry of motor vehicles. The page does not replace the daily arrest logs. It shows the department's public-facing summary of notable incidents.

First Circuit Court Records

The First Circuit Court covers all of Oahu. Its main courthouse is at 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. Case info is on eCourt Kokua. Basic viewing is free. Documents with a PDF icon can be bought for $3 flat for 1 to 30 pages, or $3 plus $0.10 per extra page for longer files. Certified copies add $2 per document.

Old migrated case IDs use one to five digits. To search the system, add leading zeros and the circuit and type codes for a total of 12 alpha-numeric characters. For Honolulu County use "1" for the circuit. Example: CR-15-1-5678 becomes 1PC151005678. A family court criminal case like FCCR-15-1-1234 becomes 2FC151001234 on Maui but would use "1" here for Oahu.

Hawaii's judiciary updates eCourt Kokua every evening. Data is current to within 48 hours of filing or a hearing. Confidential cases and sealed documents are not online. For certified paper copies, go to the courthouse. Appellate court opinions and orders are free for viewing. If you buy often, the quarterly subscription at $125 or yearly at $500 gives unlimited single downloads of public documents with a PDF icon.

Two HCJDC public access sites are in Honolulu County. Each printout is $25. Pay by money order or cashier's check to "State of Hawaii." Both sites give the same data as eCrim, the online portal.

The facility is at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. OCCC is operated by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. DCR took over from the old Department of Public Safety on January 1, 2024.

UIPA and Honolulu County Arrest Records

Hawaii's public records law is the Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F. UIPA gives you the right to see Honolulu County arrest records and other public files. The OIP model form, "Request to Access a Government Record," is the easiest way to file. Send it to the agency that holds the record, not to OIP.

For HPD reports, send your UIPA request to the HPD Records Division. For First Circuit court records, send it to the Hawaii State Judiciary. For criminal history, send it to HCJDC. For sheriff division records, send it to the Department of Law Enforcement at 715 South King Street, Room 505, Honolulu, HI 96813, or email law.uiparequest@hawaii.gov.

Agencies have 10 working days to respond. They may extend that window by 20 more working days with a written reason. If an agency denies access or delays, you can file a Request for Assistance with OIP at No. 1 Capitol District Building, 250 South Hotel Street, Suite 107, Honolulu, HI 96813, (808) 586-1400.
