Waipahu 24 Hour Booking Search

Waipahu sits in the Leeward part of Oahu and is covered by HPD District 3 in Pearl City and HPD District 8 in Kapolei. Every 24 hour booking for a Waipahu arrest moves through HPD Central Receiving, then on to the Oahu Community Correctional Center for pretrial hold. Waiawa Correctional Facility also sits inside Waipahu city limits on Kamehameha Highway and houses sentenced felons from across the state. This page shows how Waipahu 24 hour booking data flows through the police, jail, and court system.

Waipahu 24 Hour Booking and HPD Districts

Waipahu is split between two HPD districts. District 3 based in Pearl City covers the east side of Waipahu. District 8 based in Kapolei covers the west side. Patrol officers from both districts handle calls, make arrests, and bring the person to HPD Central Receiving on Alapai Street for 24 hour booking. There is no standalone booking cellblock in Waipahu. All booking intake happens at the central HPD facility in downtown Honolulu.

After the 24 hour booking step, Waipahu arrestees who stay in custody move to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC is the main pretrial jail on Oahu. The address is 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu. The main line is 808-832-1777. OCCC holds people waiting on a charging decision, on bail, or on a short sentence. Custody status can be tracked through the jail line or through VINE.

HPD posts the daily arrest log to the department site each day. Each file lists names, ages, offenses, and report numbers for every adult taken in over the past 24 hours. Waipahu bookings show up on the same log as any other Oahu arrest. Files rotate off the site after 14 days, so pull copies fast. After 14 days, you need a written UIPA request to the HPD Records Division.

Waiawa Correctional Facility in Waipahu

Waiawa Correctional Facility is the state prison that sits inside Waipahu city limits. The address is 94-560 Kamehameha Highway, Waipahu, HI 96797. It is a medium-security state prison. Waiawa serves the whole state, not just Waipahu. The facility houses sentenced felons and runs rehab, education, and vocational programs for inmates nearing release.

The Waiawa Correctional Facility page above shows how Waipahu ties into the state prison system for post-sentence custody. Waiawa holds medium-security sentenced inmates, not pretrial detainees from the 24 hour booking step.

It helps to know what Waiawa is not. It is not the booking or intake jail. Waipahu 24 hour booking happens at HPD Central Receiving, not at Waiawa. Pretrial holds on Oahu happen at OCCC. Only after conviction and sentencing does a person move to a state prison like Waiawa or Halawa. Family members looking for a just-booked Waipahu resident should call the HPD cellblock or check VINE, not call Waiawa.

Halawa Correctional Facility and DPS

Halawa Correctional Facility is the other main state prison near Waipahu. It sits in Aiea, not far from Waipahu city limits. Many long-term custody records tied to Waipahu bookings end up at Halawa because it is the main high-security state prison on Oahu. Halawa houses sentenced felons with longer terms and more serious charges.

The Halawa Correctional Facility page above covers the state prison closest to Waipahu. Halawa is the high-security sentenced-felon prison and is one of the main long-term custody spots for people whose Waipahu booking led to a conviction.

The Department of Public Safety manages all state jails and prisons. DPS also runs OCCC and the other community correctional centers across Hawaii. For any Waipahu case, the DPS site is the single source for facility info, visitor rules, and inmate locate tools. The VINE Link system ties into DPS so that victim notifications cover every state facility, and it runs free and 24 hours a day.
