This page shows how to find Honolulu County 24 hour booking records, who to call, and which court handles the case after booking. Use the tools below to search arrest logs, check jail custody at OCCC, and request older booking reports from HPD. The steps work for people looking up their own record or a friend in custody.

Honolulu Police Department Booking

The Honolulu Police Department is the main law agency for the City and County of Honolulu. HPD runs all adult booking on Oahu. The main station sits at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The main line is (808) 529-3191. For non-emergency help, call (808) 935-3311. The HPD Records Unit opens Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Walk-ins and mail-in requests both work during those hours. The Records Division has a public access terminal where you can pull a criminal history printout. Each printout runs $25 and ties to HCJDC state data.

HPD books adults at Central Receiving Division. The booking file holds the mugshot, fingerprints, charge, and bail info. Officers use this data to start the 48 hour charge clock set by state law. If a prosecutor does not file charges in that window, the person must be released. Booking records then flow to court if charges move forward.

Check the HPD main website for agency news, unit contacts, and online services.

The HPD homepage shown above is the entry point for every Honolulu County 24 hour booking tool. It links to daily logs, police report requests, and the non-emergency line for custody questions.

Note: The HPD Records Unit closes for lunch and state holidays, so plan in-person visits around those hours.

Honolulu 24 Hour Booking Logs

The Honolulu 24 hour booking log is a daily PDF posted by HPD. The Information Technology Division uploads each log each day. The log shows the arrestee's name, age, sex, race, arrest date, arrest time, offense, report number, and arresting officer. The file has no search box. It is a raw PDF, so you must open it and scan for the name you want.

HPD also shows the same log 24 hours a day at the Central Receiving Division security post. Anyone can walk in and view it. The public log rotates off the HPD website 14 days after it is issued. If you need a booking log older than 14 days, send a written request to the Records and Identification Division. Staff pull the older file under Office of Information Practices rules in legal opinion letter 91-4. Juvenile arrest info is never released, even on the daily log.

The HPD Daily Arrest Logs page holds every current log file. Click the date you want and the PDF opens in your browser.

The arrest logs page above lists every Honolulu County 24 hour booking PDF from the last two weeks. Save the file to your device before the 14 day window closes or you will need to file a written request.

HPD provides no search service on the booking log itself. The agency posts the raw file. You are on your own to skim. Many people use browser find tools to search by name inside the open PDF.

How to Request Honolulu Booking Records

To get a full police report tied to a Honolulu County 24 hour booking, use the HPD police report request process. HPD takes requests online, by email, by mail, and in person. Each request needs a color copy of a government-issued ID. The case or report number speeds up the search, so include it if you have it. Reports only release when the investigation is complete and the case is closed. Motor vehicle collision reports follow a separate path. Call (808) 723-3258 for those.

Visit the HPD Police Reports request page for the full form and fee chart.

The police reports page above links to the online Citizen Police Report System. Use it to file a new report or request a copy of a closed one tied to a Honolulu County 24 hour booking event.

HPD releases reports under the Uniform Information Practices Act. That law sits in HRS chapter 92F, section 92F-13. Some records stay closed. Medical reports, TROs, injunctions, and clearance letters do not release to the public. Redactions protect victim names, juvenile info, and ongoing investigations.

The Hawaii Supreme Court ruled in 2020 in the SHOPO v. City and County of Honolulu case that HPD must disclose officer discipline records after Act 47 amended HRS § 92F-14(b)(4). You can submit and track records requests through the UIPA request platform. The site holds past answers and lets you see what others have pulled.

Honolulu County Jail Custody

After a Honolulu County 24 hour booking, most adults move to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main phone is 808-832-1777. Family members and friends can call the visitor hotline at 808-832-1633 for visit hours and custody questions. OCCC is the main jail on Oahu. It holds pretrial people waiting on a court date and those serving short sentences.

To check custody status, use VINE Link from the Hawaii SAVIN system. VINE Link is free and runs all day, every day. You can sign up for release alerts by email, phone, or the VINEmobile app. The service is anonymous, so the inmate does not know you are tracking them. Sign up right after you hear about an arrest tied to a Honolulu County 24 hour booking.

Some people held on Oahu move off-island after sentencing. The state Department of Public Safety runs four community correctional centers and four long-term facilities. The booking log at HPD still shows the original intake data, but VINE Link follows the person to the new facility.

Note: VINE Link alerts go out within minutes of a custody change, so register right after the booking to catch the first release.

Honolulu Booking Record Fees

HPD charges set fees for copies of booking reports and police reports. The first page of a plain police report is $0.50. Each extra plain page is $0.25. Color pages cost $0.65 each. A verification letter runs $1.00 for the first page. The public access terminal at the HPD Records Division charges $25 for each criminal history printout. That printout ties to the state HCJDC data.

Court document fees are separate. The eCourt Kokua system charges $3 for the first 30 pages of any court file. Each page after runs $0.10. A certified copy is $5. If you need court records often, eCourt Kokua sells a subscription. It is $125 per quarter or $500 per year. For most one-off Honolulu County 24 hour booking follow-ups, the $3 fee is the right path.

The HPD Records Unit takes cash, check, or money order. Online payments work through the Citizen Police Report System for some request types. Each fee ties to actual copy costs under HRS chapter 92F, so the total depends on page count.

Honolulu Court Records After Booking

After a Honolulu County 24 hour booking, cases move to the First Circuit Court. The First Circuit serves all of Oahu. The Circuit Court sits at 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The District Court handles petty misdemeanors and small claims at 1111 Alakea Street, Honolulu. Family Court covers juvenile and family matters at 4675 Kapolei Parkway in Kapolei. Each court handles its own docket, so check the charge to find the right one.

Use eCourt Kokua for court file lookups. The portal shows case type, case number, filing dates, hearing dates, and parties. Criminal, civil, traffic, land court, and tax appeal cases all show up. Sealed cases and confidential matters do not show. A search does not cost anything. Only document downloads cost money under the fee chart above.

Bail info ties the booking file to the court file. The judge sets bail at first appearance, which happens within 48 hours of booking under Hawaii law. The bail type, amount, and any conditions flow from the booking intake sheet to the court record. If bail is posted, the person is released from OCCC.

Law enforcement can confirm arrest warrant info through the HPD Communications Division. The Honolulu County Court Records arrest records resource walks through the warrant check process. If you think you have an active warrant, hire a defense attorney before any in-person inquiry at a police station.

Legal Help and Prosecutor Office

The Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney handles all criminal filings that start with a Honolulu County 24 hour booking. The office sits at 1060 Richards Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The main line is (808) 768-7400. The prosecutor reviews the booking file within the 48 hour charge window and decides to file charges, drop the case, or ask for more info from police.

Crime victim and witness services come from the same office. The prosecutor coordinates with SAVIN and VINE Link to notify victims of custody changes. Staff help with protective orders, court notifications, restitution, and crisis aid. Each service is free to the victim.

For federal matters, the FBI Honolulu Field Office handles federal booking and investigations. The office sits at 91-1300 Enterprise Street, Kapolei, HI 96707. The main line is (808) 566-4300. Federal cases do not show on the HPD daily log. They go to the U.S. District Court of Hawaii.

Defense help is easy to find on Oahu. Legal Aid Society of Hawaii offers free help to people with low income. The Hawaii State Bar runs a lawyer referral line. The Hawaii State Judiciary keeps a self-help center at the main courthouses. Each one can point you to the right form or the next step after a booking.

Note: Hire a lawyer before you talk to police about any Honolulu County 24 hour booking tied to a case still under review.

Are Honolulu Booking Records Public

Yes, most Honolulu County 24 hour booking records are public. The daily arrest log is open for 14 days on the HPD site. The Central Receiving Division posts the log 24 hours a day for walk-in review. Booking reports are released once the case closes. Adult arrests that led to conviction are public in the state criminal history system. The rules come from the Hawaii Uniform Information Practices Act at HRS chapter 92F and from HRS chapter 846 on criminal history.

Some booking info stays private. Juvenile arrests are sealed. Sex crime victim names get redacted. Arrests where no charges were filed or where charges were dropped come off the public record. Mental health holds stay confidential. Sealed cases pull the booking info with them. If a judge seals a file, the booking details go too.

For a full state criminal history check, use the HCJDC path. The criminal history records check page at the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center lays out name-based and fingerprint-based options. The HPD public access terminal at 801 South Beretania ties into the same data. Each printout is $25.

City services, permits, and other county info sit on the City and County of Honolulu website. That portal does not hold booking data. It covers all other government services for Oahu residents.
