Wailuku Booking Releases Record Fields

Each Wailuku booking release holds a standard set of fields under Hawaii Revised Statutes section 846-2.5. The file shows the arrestee's full legal name, any aliases on record, date of birth, gender, and race. A set of physical markers like height, weight, eye color, and hair color fill out the bio data. The State Identification Number, or SID, ties the record to any prior Hawaii arrest. The FBI number, when one is on file, ties the record to federal history.

Arrest detail fields list the date, time, and location of the stop or the booking. Charge codes match the section of the Hawaii Revised Statutes cited by the officer. A short charge name follows the code. The arresting agency name and the officer's badge number round out the custody chain. Fingerprint impressions collected under Hawaii Revised Statutes section 846-3 go into the AFIS system at the HCJDC.

The record also tracks what happens after booking. The custody status field shows whether the person is in jail, out on bail, or released with no charge. The case disposition fills in later and reflects the court outcome. A guilty plea, a dismissal, an acquittal, or a deferred judgment each carries its own status code. Agencies must keep records accurate under Hawaii Revised Statutes section 846-9.

What goes into a Wailuku booking release record entry:

• Full name, aliases, date of birth, gender, and race
• State Identification Number and any FBI number
• Arrest date, time, and location
• Statute citations and charge names
• Arresting agency and officer badge
