Find Kaneohe Busted Mugshots
Kaneohe busted mugshots come from the Honolulu Police Department's Kaneohe District Station, which covers the windward side of Oahu from Kahaluu to Kailua. Arrests in Kaneohe, Ahuimanu, and the Windward Mall area are booked at that station, and the records flow from HPD to the First Circuit Court and OCCC in Honolulu. This page walks through how to search Kaneohe arrest records, get a mugshot copy, and find court dockets and inmate info for anyone picked up on the windward side.
Kaneohe Overview
HPD Kaneohe District Arrest Records
The Kaneohe District Station is one of HPD's full-service posts on Oahu. It has its own cell block, which means people arrested near Kaneohe Bay Drive, Kamehameha Highway, or the H-3 Freeway terminus are booked in Kaneohe before they head south to OCCC. Patrol zones include Kaneohe, Ahuimanu, and Kahaluu. The station works side by side with the military police at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, though MCBH has its own security force on base.
If you want a Kaneohe arrest report or mugshot, you have two choices. You can request it at the Kaneohe station for simple matters, or go through HPD's main Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street. Police reports cost $5 for the first page and $0.25 for each extra page. Most reports are available a week or two after the arrest, once the case file is cleaned up and reviewed. Below is a look at the Kaneohe district info on the HPD site.
You can reach HPD Kaneohe through the Honolulu Police Department main site. The site has district maps, records forms, and a way to file an online records request under UIPA.
Note: The Kaneohe District Station has its own cell block, which means booking and mugshots happen on-site before transport to OCCC for longer holds.
Kaneohe Cases in First Circuit Court
Criminal cases from Kaneohe go to the First Circuit Court in Honolulu. Felonies are heard at the main courthouse at 777 Punchbowl Street. Misdemeanors and traffic cases run through the District Court of the First Circuit in the same complex. There is no courthouse in Kaneohe, so defendants must travel over the Likelike or H-3 to Honolulu for their hearings. Family Court handles all juvenile matters from Kaneohe at a separate site in Kapolei and Honolulu.
Case lookup is free on eCourt Kokua. That is the Hawaii Judiciary's public-facing case search. Search by name, case number, or date range, and the system lists the charges, hearing dates, and dispositions for every open and closed case tied to Kaneohe. Juvenile and Family Court cases are blocked from the public view.
For certified paper copies of a Kaneohe case file, the Legal Documents Section at 777 Punchbowl Street is the place to go. Copies cost $3 for 1 to 30 pages, which covers most files. A yearly subscription for bulk access is $500. Keep in mind the courthouse is open on weekdays only, and walk-in service is busier on Monday mornings after weekend arrests.
Kaneohe Criminal History Records
Criminal history records for Kaneohe arrests are held by the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. The HCJDC is the state's official repository. It tracks fingerprints, mugshots, arrest data, and dispositions for every booking in the state, including those made at the Kaneohe District Station. A name check through HCJDC runs $30. A fingerprint-based check is $55 in person or $35 by mail, and it gives the most complete record.
For a quick online check, use eCrim, the state's web-based criminal history search. The basic lookup costs $5, and the full report is $12. eCrim only shows convictions, so if you need non-conviction info for a Kaneohe case, you will have to go a different route. A court docket check on eCourt Kokua can fill those gaps, and so can a printout from a Public Access Site for $25 per report.
The full network of Public Access Sites is posted on the Attorney General's site. HPD in Honolulu is the main Oahu location, but county clerk offices also take walk-ins. Below is a look at the HCJDC page where Kaneohe-area arrest history checks can be requested.
The HCJDC site has forms, fee info, and instructions for mail-in fingerprint checks. For a Kaneohe resident, mail is often faster than driving into town.
Kaneohe Inmate and Booking Lookup
Kaneohe arrestees who are not cited and released get moved to the Oahu Community Correctional Center in Honolulu. OCCC is the main jail on Oahu. It holds pretrial detainees and short-sentence inmates from every district, including Kaneohe. Custody transfers from the Kaneohe cell block happen a few times a day, so a person booked overnight may not show in OCCC records until the next morning.
The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has a free online inmate search. Look up by name and you will see the facility, custody status, charges, and the projected release date. It is a fast way to check on a Kaneohe arrest. For records older than a year, or sealed cases, you have to file a UIPA request with the agency holding the file.
Pretrial Services screens Kaneohe arrestees for supervised release. That program lets low-risk defendants stay out of custody while their case moves through court. Being on supervised release does not erase the arrest record or the booking mugshot, which stay with HPD and HCJDC.
Note: OCCC booking data for Kaneohe arrests is usually live within a few hours, but full case files and mugshots from HPD take longer to process.
Kaneohe Expungement and Public Records
Non-conviction records from Kaneohe arrests can be expunged under HRS 831. The HCJDC handles the request. First-time expungement is $35. Later ones are $50. If your case was dropped, dismissed, or you were acquitted, you likely qualify. The paperwork runs through the Attorney General's office and can be mailed in from Kaneohe without a trip downtown.
Public records rights for Kaneohe are set by HRS 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act. The Office of Information Practices runs a records request builder and reviews agency denials. HPD and the Judiciary both accept UIPA requests for Kaneohe incident reports and docket data. Most requests are answered within 10 business days.
Criminal justice records come under HRS 846. That chapter covers the HCJDC's duty to keep arrest data, including from the Kaneohe District Station. Kaneohe residents can ask for their own rap sheet at no cost for a personal review, though copies still have the standard fee.
