Find Pearl City Busted Mugshots
Pearl City busted mugshots are handled by the Honolulu Police Department through its Pearl City District Station near the Pearl City Shopping Center. Cases move from HPD to the First Circuit Court on Punchbowl Street or to the Kapolei Courthouse, and all adult bookings end up at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. Pearl City sits next to the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex, so some arrests involve federal coordination. Start your search on eCourt Kokua, then reach out to HPD Records or HCJDC for the booking log and criminal history.
Pearl City Overview
HPD Pearl City District Station
The HPD Pearl City District Station is the main police base for the city. It sits near the Pearl City Shopping Center off Kamehameha Highway. Officers patrol Waimano Home Road, Komo Mai Drive, and the neighborhoods around Leeward Community College and Pearl City High School. All arrest logs from the district still move through HPD Main Station Records at 801 South Beretania, Honolulu, HI 96813. The records line is (808) 529-3191. Visit honolulupd.org for the full list of district stations.
For more details on the HPD district setup covering Pearl City, the main department page is a good start.
Police reports cost $5 for the first page and $0.25 per page after. The Pearl City arrest log is open to the public under HRS Chapter 92F. Mugshot images are not on the open log. Routine arrests in Pearl City cover DUI, drug, theft, and assault cases. The H-1 freeway corridor and Kamehameha Highway see steady traffic stops that lead to the local booking slip.
Note: The Pearl Harbor Naval Complex sits next to Pearl City, so some arrests on base involve NCIS and federal law, not HPD.
First Circuit Court for Pearl City Cases
Pearl City criminal cases go to the First Circuit Court. The main courthouse is Ka'ahumanu Hale at 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The District Court of the First Circuit is at 1111 Alakea Street. Many leeward Oahu cases also route through the Kapolei Courthouse. You can look up case info online through eCourt Kokua at courts.state.hi.us.
eCourt Kokua shows party names, case numbers, charges, and hearing dates. Mugshots do not appear. For full files or certified copies, visit the clerk at Punchbowl or Kapolei. Court documents cost $3 for the first 30 pages and $0.10 per page after. A quarterly bulk subscription is $125. A yearly subscription costs $500. The Hawaii Judiciary portal at courts.state.hi.us has all the forms.
Felonies start in District Court for arraignment and move to Circuit Court for grand jury. Misdemeanors and petty offenses stay in District Court. Many Pearl City DUI cases and driving without a license cases are heard in Honolulu District Court. Family Court for juvenile matters also sits inside the First Circuit.
OCCC Booking Records for Pearl City
Adults arrested in Pearl City are booked at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC is at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main line is (808) 832-1777. It is the main jail for all of Oahu. A Pearl City arrest moves from the district station to OCCC for fingerprinting and the booking photo. That photo is the mugshot that shows up later on the state system. More info is at dps.hawaii.gov/occc.
For a look at OCCC intake rules and visit times, the state site below is the main source.
Booking records at OCCC show name, date of birth, arrest date, charge, and booking number. Bail, if set, is listed on the booking sheet. The statute that backs fingerprint and photo rules is HRS Chapter 846. To find out if a person is still in custody, call OCCC at the number above. The Department of Public Safety inmate locator also shows most adults in the state system.

Federal Arrests Tied to Pearl City
Pearl City sits right next to the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex. That means some arrests that look like they happen in Pearl City are actually on federal land. Those cases do not go through HPD or the First Circuit Court. Instead, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service handles them. The case may end up in federal district court rather than state court. Federal booking records are kept by the U.S. Marshals Service, not the state of Hawaii.
For a state-level arrest on Pearl City streets, though, the usual path applies. HPD books the person. OCCC takes the fingerprint and photo. The First Circuit Court takes the case. HCJDC stores the history. The Attorney General site at ag.hawaii.gov has more on the split between state and federal work.
- State arrests on Pearl City streets: HPD handles
- Arrests on the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex: NCIS and federal court
- DUI on Kamehameha Highway: HPD and First Circuit Court
- Juvenile cases: Family Court, not District Court
If you are not sure whether a case is state or federal, start with the HPD arrest log. If HPD has no record, the case is likely federal. The Office of Information Practices at oip.hawaii.gov can tell you which agency is the right one to ask. They don't run federal records, but they know who does.
Pearl City Arrest Record Expungement
Some Pearl City arrests can be expunged under HRS Chapter 831. The first expungement costs $35. Any later ones cost $50. You apply through HCJDC. The full steps are on the expungement FAQ page.
Expungement is for arrests that did not lead to a conviction. Dismissed cases, cases where the grand jury did not indict, and acquittals are common. Some drug and first-time offender cases also qualify. An expunged record is pulled from the public state system but the HPD booking sheet and the court docket still exist. Read the FAQ for the full eligibility list before you file.
Note: Pearl City residents file expungement requests through the same HCJDC Honolulu office that serves all of Oahu.
