Search Kailua Booking Releases

Kailua booking releases come from the Honolulu Police Department. HPD District 4 covers the Windward side of Oahu, so every adult arrest made in Kailua shows up on the HPD daily log. You can search Kailua booking releases online, read the Central Receiving log in person at Alapai, or pull court and custody records once the case moves past the station. This page shows where to find the logs, how to get a police report, how to run a court search for a Kailua case, and how to track someone held at OCCC or the Women's Community Correctional Center.

Kailua HPD District 4 Station

The Kailua police substation is at 201 Hamakua Drive, Kailua, HI 96734. The phone line is (808) 723-8838. This is HPD District 4, which runs the Windward patrol zone. Officers out of this station work Kailua, Waimanalo, Kaneohe, and the North Shore run up to Kahuku. The Kaneohe station sits at (808) 723-8640. The Kahuku station sits at (808) 723-8650. All three feed the same district.

District 4 handles the first booking step for Kailua. An officer writes the arrest, runs the fingerprint, and sends the file to HPD headquarters at Alapai for the master record. The Records and Identification Division at Alapai, (808) 723-3258, holds the long-term file. That office is the one to contact for older Kailua booking releases. The HPD homepage below lists every district and every public-facing service. See honolulupd.org for the full menu.

The Records Division hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The office is closed on weekends and state holidays. Walk-ins can pay at the counter. Phone calls will not pull an arrest log for you.

Kailua Booking Releases Daily Log

HPD posts the adult arrest log four times a day. The log is a PDF. Each entry lists the arrestee's name, age, race, sex, date and time of arrest, the officer, the offense, the report number, the bail set, the bail posted, and a short release code. The online file covers the past 14 days. Kailua booking releases from District 4 show up on this same log.

The HPD arrest logs page below is where the PDF drops go live. See honolulupd.org/information/arrest-logs and click the current date to pull the file.

The log lists the arrest district, so you can scan for D4 entries to find Kailua cases. It does not post mug shots. Juvenile arrests never go in the public log.

After 14 days the file drops off the site. For older Kailua booking releases you send a written UIPA request to the Records and Identification Division. You need the date of the log you want. HPD will not run a name search. The paper log stays posted at the Central Receiving Division at Alapai 24 hours a day, and any person can walk up and read it.

Kailua Police Reports

A Kailua booking release is the start. The full police report has more. HPD only lets the report go after the case is closed. Names, home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and social security numbers get redacted. All juvenile data gets redacted in full.

The report copy fee runs 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each page after. A verification letter is $1.00 for the first page. Color copies are 65 cents per page. Body-worn camera video requests use the same form. You must show a color copy of a government ID.

HPD takes cash, check, or cashier's check made out to the City and County of Honolulu. No credit or debit cards at the records counter. Mail requests go to the Records and Identification Division, 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. Email requests go through the HPD records page. The police reports page at honolulupd.org/police-reports lists the full process.

Next-of-kin requests need a birth or death certificate to prove the family tie. This rule kicks in when the arrestee is deceased or the case involves a death in custody. For a Kailua booking release where the person is still alive and not a close family member, you may only get a redacted copy.

Kailua Booking Releases and First Circuit Court

Every Kailua booking release that moves to a charge ends up in the First Circuit Court in Honolulu. The Circuit Court sits at Ka'ahumanu Hale, 777 Punchbowl Street. The District Court sits at Kauikeaouli Hale, 1111 Alakea Street. The main court line is (808) 539-4300. A misdemeanor out of Kailua lands in District Court. A felony moves up to Circuit Court.

The state court search tool is eCourt Kokua. You can pull basic Kailua case info at no cost. See courts.state.hi.us for the search page. A plain copy of a court doc is $3 for the first 30 pages. A certified copy is $5. The full state judiciary home page at courts.state.hi.us links each circuit and each court type.

Public access terminals at each Oahu courthouse let you search case info for free. Staff at the Legal Documents Branch can pull a paper file. Bring a photo ID and either a case number or a party name. The clerk does not run deep searches for you.

Kailua Custody and Jail Lookup

Most adult Kailua booking releases feed into the Oahu Community Correctional Center, or OCCC, at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu. The main OCCC line is (808) 832-1777. The visitation hotline is (808) 832-1633. OCCC holds pre-trial detainees and people serving short misdemeanor time. Long sentences move on to the Halawa Correctional Facility.

Female inmates from Kailua may move to the Women's Community Correctional Center, or WCCC, which sits inside Kailua itself. WCCC houses female inmates from across Oahu. The facility has a new admin building, a new housing unit, and a new visitation and intake building under construction. Custody status for anyone at OCCC, WCCC, or any state jail shows up in Hawaii SAVIN. See vinelink.vineapps.com to sign up for a free alert.

The SAVIN help line is (808) 587-2550. Federal cases do not show up in SAVIN. The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation page at dcr.hawaii.gov lists facility contacts for every state jail.

VINELink lets you track release, transfer, and custody change. The alert can come by phone, text, or email. This is the quickest way to know when a Kailua booking turns into a release. For federal inmate lookup use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.

Kailua Booking Releases Background Checks

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, or HCJDC, runs the state criminal history check. Any member of the public can pull an adult conviction printout. The fee is $25 at a Public Access Site. The online search at eCrim runs $5 per unique search. A certified report runs $12.

The HCJDC page at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc lays out the full list of services. The criminal history check page at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/criminal-history-records-check has the fee chart and the online portal link. The eCrim portal sits at ecrim.ehawaii.gov.

HPD Alapai, 801 South Beretania Street, is the closest Public Access Site for Kailua residents. The phone line is (808) 529-3191. You walk in, pay the fee, and get the adult conviction printout. The list of Oahu Public Access Sites is at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/public-access-sites. The HCJDC does not release non-conviction files or juvenile files to the general public. Only a criminal justice agency can pull those under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 846.

Kailua Booking Releases and UIPA

Kailua booking releases fall under the Hawaii Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F. Any person can ask for a record. Put it in writing. List the date and a clear description of the record. Include your contact info. HPD and the Records Division must reply in 10 business days.

HPD will cite Hawaii Revised Statutes 846-2.5 when a record has sealed or expunged data. Juvenile records fall under HRS Chapter 571 and stay sealed. If HPD denies the request, the denial must cite the law that closes the record. You can appeal to the Office of Information Practices at (808) 586-1400. See oip.hawaii.gov for the full rules. For records held by the Sheriff Division under the Department of Law Enforcement, the UIPA request page sits at law.hawaii.gov/resources/uipa-request.
