Waipahu Jail Mugshots

Waipahu Jail Mugshots link to two jails on Oahu. Pre-trial inmates go to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. Sentenced men serve time at the Waiawa Correctional Facility, right in Waipahu. Local arrests come out of HPD District 3 at the Pearl City Police Station. This page shows how to find a booking photo, how to file a UIPA request, and where to check on current inmates held from Waipahu. Each link points to an official Hawaii source.

Waipahu Police Services

Waipahu gets patrol services from the HPD District 3 Pearl City Police Station. The station is at 1100 Waimano Home Road, Pearl City, HI 96782, phone (808) 723-8800. Officers from Pearl City cover Waipahu, Village Park, Waikele, and nearby parts of the Ewa Plain. Arrests made in Waipahu get routed through the station and booked at OCCC.

Waipahu used to be a sugar plantation town. Now it is a full residential community with mixed housing and commercial strips along Farrington Highway. Patrol officers cover Waipahu proper as well as the Village Park and Waikele areas.

Waiawa Jail Mugshots and Sentenced Inmates

The Waiawa Correctional Facility sits at 94-560 Kamehameha Highway, Waipahu, HI 96797. The mailing address is P.O. Box 1839, Pearl City, HI 96782. The phone is (808) 677-6150. Warden Sean Ornellas runs the site. Waiawa is a medium security prison that holds sentenced male inmates from Waipahu and all of Oahu.

The booking photo taken at intake stays in the state OffenderTrak file. That same image shows up when you pull the inmate's file later from the DPS inmate search tool.

The Waiawa site runs work programs, vocational training, and substance abuse treatment. Work furlough is open to inmates who meet the review criteria. The prison prep's men for reentry and links them with community work lines off-site.

Waipahu Arrest Records Path

For a recent arrest out of Waipahu, check the HPD daily arrest logs. The log holds 14 days of entries. Each line lists date and time of arrest, name, age, sex, race, the officer, the charge, and the report number. You have to read the log yourself. HPD does not run searches for the public.

Officers serving Waipahu book through the main HPD network, so a Waipahu arrest will appear in the full log.

For older logs, write to the HPD Records and Identification Division at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. Give them the dates you want to see. The office does not take phone or walk-in log requests for anything more than 14 days old. Under HRS Chapter 92F, the UIPA gives you a legal right to review these records.

Waipahu Inmate Lookup Tools

The Hawaii DPS Inmate Search shows the current custody status for a person from Waipahu. You can search by full or partial name, date of birth, or offender ID. The result shows facility, status, and offender number. The tool covers state inmates only. It does not show federal inmates or those held out of state.

For alerts on movement, use the Hawaii SAVIN VINE system. Pick Hawaii from the state dropdown. Enter a name or offender ID. Add a phone number or email for push alerts. VINE pushes out alerts for moves, releases, and court dates.

You can also pull up a court case through eCourt Kokua. That shows case status, hearing dates, and charges.

Waipahu Jail Mugshots and UIPA

Hawaii's public records law is the Uniform Information Practices Act. It sits in HRS Chapter 92F. Under section 92F-12(a)(13), info on a person held in a correctional center is public. Under 92F-12(a)(5), arrest info is public. The Office of Information Practices runs the law and handles appeals.

HRS section 92F-23 says the agency has 10 working days to give you the record. It can take up to 20 working days if the case is hard. That timeline is the same for all agencies across the state, from HPD to the jail.

Under HRS Chapter 846, conviction info is public. Non-conviction info is not. Section 846-9 sets that line. Juvenile records stay sealed unless the juvenile was moved to adult court.

Waipahu Court and Criminal History

Cases out of Waipahu often go to the Wahiawa District Court for misdemeanor and traffic matters. Felony cases go to the Honolulu Circuit Court at 777 Punchbowl Street. You can pull case info online at eCourt Kokua or in person at the courthouse.

For a conviction check, use the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. HCJDC is at 465 S. King Street, Room 102, Honolulu, HI 96813. Call (808) 587-3279. The eCrim portal costs $5 per search and $12 per official record. A paper name check at HCJDC costs $30. Each Public Access Site print is $25.

Waipahu Community Safety

HPD runs community outreach in Waipahu through the Pearl City station. Officers work with local groups on theft, drugs, and traffic safety. The non-emergency line is (808) 723-8800. For an active crime, call 911.

Women from Waipahu who get arrested are held at the Women's Community Correctional Center in Kailua. Men go to OCCC for pre-trial and Waiawa if sentenced. The jail and prison share the same state data system, so the booking photo follows the inmate from site to site.

Waipahu Jail Mugshots Retention

Waipahu arrest records carry set retention rules under state policy. A felony conviction record stays in the file forever. A misdemeanor conviction runs at least 10 years. A traffic conviction runs 5 to 10 years. An arrest with no conviction stays in the file for at least 5 years. Juvenile records are sealed at age 18 in most cases. The booking photo and the fingerprint card stay with the record for the life of the file.

A redacted copy hides names, home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, social security numbers, and medical info. Your own info stays in when you request your own record. The state follows these rules across every agency that holds Waipahu arrest data, from the police station to the jail to HCJDC.

Under state law, only an agency that holds the record has to answer a UIPA request. A third party that has a copy does not. That rule keeps record control with the office that owns the file.

Waipahu Search Tips

Start with the state DPS tool for any live lookup. It is free. It is fast. A partial name works. From there, check the HPD or county police log for recent arrests. For older cases, go to eCrim and pull a conviction history by name. Each step adds more data without a big fee.

Keep your request clear and short. Give the full legal name. Add the date of birth if you know it. Add the offender ID if you have it. The offender ID gives the cleanest match since names can repeat across the system. The agency can work faster when the request is tight.

Sign up for VINE alerts when you want passive tracking. Set the phone or email. The system will push alerts when something changes. That saves you from calling the jail or pulling the inmate search day after day.
