Search Urban Honolulu Jail Mugshots

Urban Honolulu Jail Mugshots come from the Honolulu Police Department and the Oahu Community Correctional Center. You can pull recent bookings from the HPD daily arrest log, look up current inmates through the state DPS tool, and ask for older files from the HPD Records Division at Alapai. Most of the county's arrests run through Urban Honolulu. This page shows where to find the right log, which office keeps the photo, and which agency to call when the case moves past the jail stage.

Urban Honolulu Jail Mugshots and HPD HQ

The Honolulu Police Department runs the Alapai headquarters at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The main line is (808) 529-3111. This building is the central hub for records across Urban Honolulu. The Records and Identification Division sits on site. It is open Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Walk-ins are fine. Mail and email requests also go through this office. The Alapai HQ security post also holds the rolling 14-day arrest log for public review at any hour.

The HQ building is blocks from the state capitol and city hall. It stays open for walk-in log review around the clock.

HPD District 1 covers the core of Urban Honolulu, including downtown and Chinatown. The Downtown Substation is at 79 North Hotel Street, (808) 723-3310. The Chinatown Substation line is (808) 723-3311. Each substation takes walk-in calls on local incidents. Formal records still route back to Alapai.

Honolulu Arrest Logs and Booking Records

The HPD arrest logs are the fastest source for recent bookings in Urban Honolulu. HPD posts a new log each day. It stays up on the web for 14 days. Each row lists date and time of arrest, name, age, sex, race, the arresting officer, the nature of the offense, and the report number. The web log does not show the mugshot photo itself. You must ask the Records Division for that file.

Arrests from District 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 all show up in the same daily log. The log is one file for the whole county.

HPD has a formal rule on log access. Only actual logs or photocopies go out. No search by name is offered. You have to read the log yourself. Juvenile arrest info is blocked at all stages. For logs older than 14 days, write to the Records Division and list the dates you want. Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 92F covers this release. Section 92F-12(a)(5) of the Uniform Information Practices Act sets arrest info as public.

Urban Honolulu HPD Districts

HPD runs several districts within Urban Honolulu. District 1 covers downtown, Chinatown, and the state capitol area. District 5 covers Kalihi at 1865 Kamehameha IV Road. District 6 covers Waikiki at 2425 Kalakaua Avenue, (808) 723-8562. Each site takes local walk-in calls on crimes in the area. Each district also runs a community policing team. Records requests still flow back to Alapai no matter which district made the arrest.

District 1 patrol zones include the financial core, the Aloha Tower, and the Chinatown Historic District. These parts of town see a steady mix of property crimes, drug cases, and tourist-area theft. District 6 covers Waikiki and sees a different mix. Hotel calls, public intoxication, and assault cases push most of the Waikiki arrest count. District 5 covers Kalihi and handles a share of gang and drug cases. Criminal Investigations Division sits at 4087 Diamond Head Road.

Each station can point you to the right records clerk. Call ahead. Hours shift for some substations.

OCCC Jail Mugshots for Urban Honolulu

Arrests from Urban Honolulu HPD districts route to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main line is (808) 832-1777. OCCC is the largest jail in Hawaii. It holds pre-trial detainees and some sentenced male felons in a reintegration track. The booking photo taken at OCCC is the state's official mugshot on file for each person.

Only two visitors at a time, and that count includes kids. Check in 15 minutes early. Money drops: the Business Office takes up to $60 cash per inmate per day from close family in the first 30 days of a stay. After that, cashier's checks or business checks made out to OCCC/Inmate Name are the standard.

The OCCC daily count often runs above rated capacity. Beds sit at about 950, and the count hovers near 1,100 to 1,300 most of the year. Programs include substance abuse, domestic violence classes, parenting, and work furlough.

Urban Honolulu Inmate Search

Use the Hawaii DPS Inmate Search to find a person held at OCCC or any other state site. The tool takes a full or partial name, a date of birth, or an offender ID. Results show the facility, the custody status, and the offender number. Federal inmates and people held in other states do not show up here.

For release alerts, use Hawaii VINE. Pick Hawaii from the state menu, search by name or ID, and add a phone or email. VINE sends a push when the person moves, gets released, or has a court date. VINE pulls from the same OffenderTrak file the jail uses, so the match lines up with the mugshot on record.
