Kapolei Inmate Population Lookup

Kapolei is the designated second city of Oahu and the seat of the City and County of Honolulu's leeward offices, and Kapolei inmate population data lives across several state and county systems. Adults arrested here pass through the Honolulu Police Department and land at the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC). Juveniles may be held at the Kapolei Juvenile Detention Facility. This page covers every public tool to find a current inmate, track a court case, or pull a criminal history record.

Kapolei Inmate Population and Oahu Facilities

Kapolei is a fast-growing city on the Ewa Plain, with new homes, a major judiciary complex, and a full state office campus. Most adult arrests in Kapolei are handled by the Honolulu Police Department. After booking, adults move to OCCC for intake. State custody rules run under HRS Chapter 353. The chapter spells out commitment, housing, and transfer.

Kapolei also hosts the Hawaii State Sheriffs Division at the Kapolei Judiciary Complex, 4675 Kapolei Parkway. The Sheriffs manage courthouse security and sex offender registration on Oahu. Registration runs Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by appointment.

The H-1 freeway links Kapolei to downtown Honolulu and OCCC. Transports run a few times a day. Most Kapolei cases stay at OCCC through arraignment and bail review.

Kapolei Juvenile Detention Facility

The Kapolei Juvenile Detention Facility, also known as Hale Ho'omalu, is the main secure holding site for juveniles in family court custody on Oahu. The facility sits at 287 Kamokila Boulevard in Kapolei, and the main line is (808) 954-8400. It operates 24 hours a day, and visitation runs by appointment. Staff handle intake, classification, and short-term holds while the family court works out the next step.

Juvenile records are not open to the public under Hawaii law. Only a parent, guardian, or attorney of record can pull a juvenile file. The family court holds the final say on release of any juvenile record.

Hale Ho'omalu offers schooling, medical care, and counseling. The goal is to return the youth to home or to a less restrictive placement as fast as possible. Most stays run a few days to a few weeks, not months.

OCCC Custody for Adult Kapolei Inmate Population

OCCC is the intake and pretrial jail for Oahu. Adults from Kapolei go there after HPD booking. The site sits on Dillingham Boulevard in Kalihi. Staff log new inmates in real time, and the data feeds the state custody search.

Visitation at OCCC is set by housing module. You must book a visit slot ahead of time. Dress rules apply and all visitors go through a scan. Phone accounts run through a pre-funded system. Mail runs through the DCR central mail room.

Transfer from OCCC to Halawa or Waiawa follows sentencing. Transfers happen within days or weeks. Always confirm the current housing site before any visit.

HPD District 8 and Kapolei Arrest Logs

The Honolulu Police Department splits Oahu into eight patrol districts. Kapolei is the home base of District 8, which also covers Ewa Beach, Ewa Gentry, Makakilo, and Ocean Pointe. The Kapolei Police Station handles calls, traffic stops, and booking for the leeward coast.

HPD posts a rolling arrest log at every station under its public access policy. The log covers the last 14 days and rotates out older entries. You can view the log during business hours. The log is a physical binder, not a web page.

Arrest logs show the name, date of birth, arrest date, charge, and booking number. They do not show court outcomes. They do not include mug shots. For court outcomes, use eCourt Kokua. HPD also sells report copies at $3 each through the Records Division downtown.

First Circuit Court Records for Kapolei Cases

Kapolei's adult criminal cases go to the First Circuit Court in downtown Honolulu. District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic, and initial appearances. Circuit Court handles felonies, appeals, and grand jury matters. eCourt Kokua is the free public portal to search both levels.

You can search by name, case number, or citation number. The search returns the case caption, charges, hearing dates, and judgment. Bail amounts and release orders are shown too. This data ties directly to the inmate population roster.

Some items are closed. Closed items include juvenile matters, some mental health cases, and sealed orders. You can ask the clerk for the right form to request a sealed file. The judge has the final call.

SAVIN/VINE Alerts for Kapolei Cases

Hawaii's SAVIN service runs on the VINELink platform and sends free custody alerts. Kapolei residents can register as a victim, witness, or family member. Alerts fire by phone, text, or email when the person moves, posts bail, or gets released.

Sign-up takes a few minutes and is free. You need a state ID number or the inmate's name and date of birth. The state keeps your contact info private. Alerts run around the clock.

SAVIN covers every DCR facility, so Kapolei cases stay in the alert pool as they move between jails. You can cancel alerts at any time.

HCJDC Criminal History Records

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center runs the state's record check system. HCJDC reports pull from courts, police, and corrections. Kapolei residents can request a name-based check or a fingerprint-based check. Name checks run about $30. Fingerprint checks cost more and take longer.

HCJDC rules follow HRS § 92F-13 and HRS § 92F-12(a)(13). Convictions are public. Non-conviction items are often closed. Arrests without a guilty finding may not show on a public report.

HCJDC also runs public access terminals on each island. You can walk in, search the state database, and print results. Staff will show you the steps but will not run queries for you.

UIPA Requests in Kapolei

The Office of Information Practices oversees the state's open records law. The Uniform Information Practices Act (HRS Chapter 92F) gives you the right to ask for most government records. Kapolei residents can file UIPA requests with any state or county agency.

Agencies must respond within set time limits. Simple requests get a reply in 10 business days. Complex ones may take longer. Fees tie to search time and copy cost. Small requests are free.

Closed items include juvenile records, medical files, and open investigations. Agencies may redact names of victims and witnesses before release.

Sex Offender Registration in Kapolei

Hawaii runs a statewide sex offender registry under HRS § 846E-02. The public site is free to search. You can search by name, address, or zip code. Kapolei covers zip codes 96707 and 96709. The registry shows names, photos, offense codes, and addresses.

New Oahu residents must register in person with the Hawaii State Sheriffs Division at the Kapolei Judiciary Complex. Registration runs Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by appointment. The Sheriffs verify ID, take a photo, and log the home address.

The registry is a notification tool, not a police alert. Check it on a regular schedule for updates. The site updates as offenders register or move.

Reentry Services and Kapolei Oversight

Inmates returning to Kapolei often enroll in work furlough at OCCC. Furlough placement follows HRS § 353L. The Hawaii Correctional System Oversight Commission reviews facility conditions and reentry outcomes. The Kapolei office at the judiciary complex hosts hearings and community meetings.

The Hawaii Correctional Industries unit offers job training inside the facilities. Training covers print, furniture, and farm work. Skills carry into paid work after release.

Commitment, classification, and transfer rules live in HRS § 353-11 and § 353-12. Federal cases from Kapolei may also touch the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu.
