Urban Honolulu 24 Hour Booking Search

Urban Honolulu is the main population center of Honolulu County and the largest city in the state. The Honolulu Police Department runs 24 hour booking through the Central Receiving Division at Alapai headquarters, and every adult arrest made in the city moves through that cellblock. Daily arrest logs post online as PDF files, and the Records and Identification Division on South Beretania Street holds the paper files. This page shows how Urban Honolulu 24 hour booking data flows from the street to the log, where to find it, and which office to call when you need a copy.

HPD Central Receiving for Urban Honolulu Booking

All adult arrests in Urban Honolulu go through HPD Central Receiving at the Alapai Police Headquarters. This is the main 24 hour booking intake for the city. Officers bring the person in, log the arrest, take prints and a mugshot, and then move the file into the daily log. The cellblock runs day and night. From here the case moves on to the Records and Identification Division or out to the Oahu Community Correctional Center for pretrial hold.

District 1 of the Honolulu Police covers Central Honolulu. That includes downtown, Chinatown, and the main business core. District 6 covers Waikiki, where the bulk of tourist-area arrests take place. Both districts feed into the same Central Receiving cellblock. The District 1 Chinatown Substation sits at 79 N. Hotel Street, Honolulu, HI 96817. You can call that office at (808) 723-3311. For non-emergency lines to report a crime, HPD uses the main dispatch number.

The booking log itself goes up on the HPD site each day. The IT Division uploads a fresh PDF file with the names, ages, and charges from the past 24 hours. Files rotate off the site after 14 days, so you need to grab a copy fast. The Honolulu Police Department arrest logs page is the one to bookmark for Urban Honolulu 24 hour booking lookups.

Urban Honolulu Records and ID Division

The HPD Records and Identification Division is the main office for paper copies of booking reports. It sits at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The office phone is (808) 529-3191. Hours run Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Walk-ins can pull a police report here or request a past booking record in writing. The clerk will tell you the page count and fee.

Records also hosts the HCJDC public access terminal. Anyone can sit down at the terminal and run a name-based criminal history search. Each printout is $25 and shows conviction history tied back to the original 24 hour booking entry. The terminal does not show non-conviction arrests. For that you need to file a UIPA request. The HPD information and resources page lists every unit, including Records, Traffic, and Identification.

Mail it to the Records and Identification Division at 801 South Beretania Street. The office also takes e-mail for routine requests. Response runs 10 working days under HRS § 92F-23, with up to 20 more days if the request is large. That rule applies to every Urban Honolulu booking request the office gets.

Honolulu Prosecutor and Booking Cases

The prosecutor's office takes the file next. In Urban Honolulu the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney handles felony cases that came out of 24 hour booking events citywide. The office is at 1060 Richards Street, and the main line is (808) 768-7400. Staff there review the arrest report, decide on charging, and move the case to Circuit Court. Victims reach out here for case status and notifications.

The Prosecuting Attorney page above shows how Urban Honolulu 24 hour booking reports move through charging review. The office ties into the SAVIN and VINE system for victim alerts and works with HPD on every felony case.

Charging has to happen within 48 hours of arrest under Hawaii law. If the prosecutor has enough to file, the case moves forward and the person stays in custody or posts bail. If not, the person is released and the arrest becomes a non-conviction record under HRS § 846. Non-conviction records come off the public eCrim side. They can still be pulled through a proper UIPA request to HPD. The UIPA requests to HPD tool lets you file and track a request online.

Urban Honolulu City and County Services

For state-wide custody data the Department of Public Safety is the main agency. DPS runs OCCC in Urban Honolulu along with the other community correctional centers. It also runs the sentenced-inmate prisons on Oahu and on the mainland. Any person held past the 48 hour charging window moves into a DPS facility and then through the court schedule.

Urban Honolulu Booking Records Access

Access to Urban Honolulu 24 hour booking data sits under state open records law. The Uniform Information Practices Act in HRS chapter 92F sets the public records rule. Arrest logs, booking reports, and cellblock custody data are open. Juvenile files, sealed cases, and arrests with no charges filed stay private.

Urban Honolulu 24 hour booking requests that run past 14 days need a written letter. HPD Records handles them. OIP hears any appeal. Agencies have 10 working days to answer under HRS § 92F-23.
