Honolulu County Jail Mugshots

Honolulu County Jail Mugshots come from the Honolulu Police Department and the Oahu Community Correctional Center. You can look up recent bookings through the HPD daily arrest log, search current inmates through the state DPS tool, and pull older records from the HPD Records Division. The county covers the whole island of Oahu and holds the largest share of Hawaii arrests each year. This page walks through how to find booking photos, local contact info, and the right office for each record type.

Honolulu County Arrest Logs and Jail Mugshots

The Honolulu Police Department arrest logs are the fastest way to check recent activity in the county. HPD posts the log each day. It stays up on the web for 14 days before it rolls off. Each entry lists date and time of arrest, name, age, sex, and race of the arrestee, the arresting officer, the nature of the offense, and the report number. The log does not show the booking photo itself. You have to ask the Records and Identification Division for that.

The arrest log is also posted at the HPD Alapai headquarters security post 24 hours a day for walk-in review.

HPD follows a formal policy on public access to arrest logs. The HPD public access to arrest logs policy spells out the rules. Only actual logs or photocopies are released. No search service is provided. You cannot ask HPD to pull up a name. You have to read the log yourself. Juvenile arrest info is blocked under all conditions.

For logs more than 14 days old, write to the HPD Records and Identification Division and name the dates you want.

Only the Records and Identification Division can make copies of the adult arrest log for the public. Other units refer those requests back to the main office.

Honolulu County Police Reports

Formal police reports and body-worn camera footage are held by the Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. You can ask for them by email, mail, or walk-in. The Records Unit is open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The HPD police reports page has the full fee chart and form.

Plain copies cost $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 per added page. Verification letters cost $1.00 for the first page. Color copies cost $0.65 per page.

Reports are releasable once the case is closed. HPD redacts personal info from public copies. That includes names, home addresses, social security numbers, dates of birth, and phone numbers. Your own info stays in. All info on a juvenile is also redacted. The office does not take credit or debit card. It takes cash, check, or cashier's check made out to the City and County of Honolulu.

Each request must include your name, phone, email, a report number or the date, time, and place of the incident, the type of report, the names of people involved, and a self-addressed stamped envelope for mail-back. Government agency requests need to be on letterhead.

OCCC and Honolulu County Jail Mugshots

The Oahu Community Correctional Center is the main jail for Honolulu County. It is also the largest jail in the whole state. The site sits on 16 acres in urban Honolulu at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The phone is (808) 832-1777. OCCC holds pre-trial detainees and some sentenced male felons in its reintegration program. The site has about 950 beds.

OCCC stays above its rated capacity most of the year, with the daily count often near 1,100 to 1,300 people.

OCCC offers programs in substance abuse, domestic violence, cognitive skills, parenting, and community service. The facility also runs work furlough and extended furlough tracks for eligible inmates. An average year sees more than 400 inmates working in-facility jobs that support the kitchen, laundry, and other services. Correctional Industries also places inmates in light construction work.

Visitors must call (808) 832-1633 between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. to book a visit. Visiting hours run every day from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. except state holidays. Each visit runs no more than 30 minutes. Only two visitors at a time, including minors. Check in at least 15 minutes before your slot. For money, the Business Office Window takes cash up to $60 per inmate per day from immediate family in the first 30 days. After that, cashier's checks, payroll checks, and business checks made out to OCCC/Inmate Name are fine.

Halawa Correctional Facility

For sentenced male felons serving more than a year, the state moves inmates from OCCC to the Halawa Correctional Facility. Halawa is a medium to high security prison at 99-902 Moanalua Road, Aiea, HI 96701. Phone: (808) 485-5200. The site holds both general population and a special needs unit.

Inmate searches for longer sentences often tie back to Halawa. The site has about 450 beds.

Halawa runs its own mix of programs, including educational services, vocational training, and substance abuse treatment. The booking photo taken at OCCC stays in the state's OffenderTrak file as the person moves from the jail to the prison. That means the same mugshot shows up in the DPS inmate search whether the person is at OCCC or at Halawa.

Honolulu County Inmate Search

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

For alerts on movement or release, use the Hawaii SAVIN VINE system. Pick Hawaii from the state dropdown. Search by name or ID. Add a phone or email. VINE will push an alert when the person moves, gets released, or has a court date. VINE pulls from the same OffenderTrak data so the match lines up with the jail's own record.

Honolulu Police Department Districts

HPD runs eight district stations across Oahu. Each station holds local arrest info and can point you to the right records path. The District 1 station covers central Honolulu, downtown, and Chinatown. The Downtown Substation sits at 79 North Hotel Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, phone (808) 723-3310.

District 1 covers the state capitol, city hall, the financial district, and the Chinatown Historic District.

HPD also runs a strong community outreach effort. The HPD community programs page links to crime prevention info, neighborhood watch groups, and local substations. Each district has its own community policing team that works with local groups on issues like theft, drug use, and traffic safety.

Use the community page to find non-emergency numbers and local events in your area.

The main HPD office handles all official records requests for the whole county. Call the Records Division at (808) 723-3258 or visit in person.
