East Honolulu Busted Mugshots Records
East Honolulu busted mugshots are handled by the Honolulu Police Department, which patrols Kahala, Hawaii Kai, Aina Haina, and Niu Valley. Arrest records pass through HPD Main Station Records, then to the First Circuit Court or Family Court for case files. This area is mostly residential, so the arrest log here shows more DUI, domestic, and property cases than the urban core. You can start your search on eCourt Kokua, then follow up with HPD Records by phone or in person for booking logs.

For a look at the HPD patrol setup that covers East Honolulu neighborhoods, see the main HPD site below.
Officers book arrests made in Kahala, Aina Haina, Niu Valley, and Hawaii Kai at the Main Station. Busted mugshots and booking logs are stored with HPD Records. Reports cost $5 for the first page and $0.25 for each added page. An arrest log check that shows names, dates, and charges is open under the Uniform Information Practices Act. The statute lives at HRS Chapter 92F.
Note: East Honolulu does not have its own police district station, so all booking paperwork goes through HPD Main Station Records.
First Circuit Court for East Honolulu Cases
When an arrest in East Honolulu leads to charges, the case goes to the First Circuit Court. The main courthouse is Ka'ahumanu Hale at 777 Punchbowl Street in Honolulu. The District Court of the First Circuit sits at 1111 Alakea Street. Kapolei Courthouse also handles some Family Court matters for Oahu, including juvenile cases. For online access, eCourt Kokua is at courts.state.hi.us.
eCourt Kokua shows basic data. Party names, case numbers, charges, and hearing dates all appear. Mugshots are not on the site. To get the full file, go to the clerk on Punchbowl. Court documents cost $3 for the first 30 pages and $0.10 per page after that. A quarterly subscription is $125. A yearly one runs $500. More info lives at courts.state.hi.us.
Most East Honolulu criminal cases begin with arraignment in District Court. Felonies pass to Circuit Court for grand jury. Misdemeanors and petty offenses stay in District Court. DUI, theft, and domestic abuse cases make up a large share of the arrest log for this area. Juvenile cases go to Family Court, which sits inside the First Circuit system.

A name check in person at HCJDC costs $30. A fingerprint check in person is $55, and by mail it is $35. Public Access Sites across the state let you run printouts for $25 each.

UIPA Rights for East Honolulu Arrest Records
Under HRS Chapter 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act, the public has a right to see most government records. Arrest logs kept by HPD are open. So are booking sheets and most court files. HPD must respond to a request within 10 business days. The agency can ask for more time if the file is large or old.
Some items stay closed. Juvenile arrest files are sealed under HRS 571. Active investigation files can be withheld under HRS 92F-13. Mugshot images themselves are held back in most cases, as HPD treats the photo as a law enforcement tool, not an open log entry. The Office of Information Practices is at oip.hawaii.gov. That office reviews denials. If HPD says no, you can ask OIP to look at your case.
You can also reach the Hawaii Attorney General at ag.hawaii.gov for general state law questions. The AG's office does not handle records requests for HPD but does run the HCJDC that holds state-level arrest data. Requests for state criminal history go through HCJDC, not the main AG office.
OCCC Booking for East Honolulu Arrests
Adults arrested in East Honolulu are booked at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC is at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main line is (808) 832-1777. OCCC handles all Oahu jail intake, so a person picked up in Hawaii Kai or Aina Haina will be processed there along with everyone else from across the island. More info is at dps.hawaii.gov/occc.
Booking at OCCC creates a file with name, date of birth, charge, arrest date, and booking number. Staff take fingerprints and a booking photo. That photo is the busted mugshot. To find out if someone is still in custody, call OCCC. You can also use the statewide inmate locator run by the Department of Public Safety.
- Name, date of birth, and booking number
- Arrest date and time
- Charge and statute number
- Bail amount if set
- Court date and courtroom
Anyone released on bail or on their own recognizance leaves OCCC with a notice to appear. The case then moves to District Court on the date listed. People held for longer sentences may be sent from OCCC to other facilities in the state system. The statute that backs the collection of fingerprints and booking data is HRS Chapter 846.
Clearing East Honolulu Arrest Records
An arrest that did not lead to a conviction may be eligible for expungement under HRS Chapter 831. The first expungement costs $35. Any later ones cost $50. You apply through HCJDC. Read the steps on the expungement FAQ.
An expungement hides the arrest from the public view in the state system. It does not erase the HPD booking sheet or the court docket, but it does remove the entry from a state criminal history report. Dismissed cases, cases where a grand jury did not indict, and acquittals are common grounds. Some drug cases and first-time offender cases also qualify after a waiting period.
Note: Processing an expungement can take several months, and HCJDC will mail the final order once the review is done.
