East Honolulu Jail Roster Search

The East Honolulu jail roster is run through the Honolulu Police Department, District 7. East Honolulu covers Hawaii Kai, Kahala, Aina Haina, Niu Valley, and Waialae Iki. Arrests made in this part of Oahu route through the HPD Central Receiving Division and end up at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. To search the East Honolulu jail roster, use VINELink, read the HPD adult arrest log, or call OCCC direct. Court dates tie back to the First Circuit. Each of these sits within Honolulu County, so the paper trail is the same one used countywide.

HPD District 7 East Honolulu

District 7 is the Honolulu Police Department patrol zone for East Honolulu. It runs from Kahala through Hawaii Kai and out to Makapuu. District 7 officers make the first stop on any East Honolulu jail roster case. They cite, arrest, and transport. The direct line for District 7 is (808) 723-3369. The unit answers calls about active scenes, recent reports, and follow-up contact for detectives.

The main administrative office sits at the Alapai headquarters at 801 South Beretania Street. That is where all HPD records funnel, even for arrests made in East Honolulu. Alapai hours run 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The main switchboard is (808) 529-3111. Walk-in service for reports is not offered at every district station, so most East Honolulu jail roster requests flow through Alapai or the mail.

HPD uses the same chain of custody for every district. East Honolulu arrestees get booked, printed, and photographed at Central Receiving. The district number on the paperwork is the only tag that marks an arrest as East Honolulu.

Hawaii Kai Police Substation

The Hawaii Kai substation gives East Honolulu a local contact point. It does not hold people in cells. Arrestees are moved on to Central Receiving in town. The substation handles reports, community calls, and officer coordination. Most walk-in business gets routed to the main district desk or to Alapai for formal record requests.

Residents use the substation for minor report filing and for talking with a watch officer. For any East Honolulu jail roster question, the substation will point you to the District 7 line or to HPD Records. The substation works in step with District 7 command. It is not a booking site and not a place to post bail.

How to Search East Honolulu Jail Roster

There is no standalone portal labeled East Honolulu. The roster sits inside the wider Honolulu County data set. Three tools cover almost every case.

Start with VINELink. The VINE system is run statewide and lists every adult held in a Hawaii correctional facility. Type the full name and click search. VINELink shows the hold location, custody status, and lets you sign up for alerts. It is free. It does not ask for a login.

The VINELink search above from vinelink.vineapps.com is the fastest public stop for any East Honolulu jail roster lookup tied to OCCC or other state facilities.

Next, check the HPD arrest log. The daily adult arrest log covers bookings from every district, including District 7 East Honolulu. Logs stay up for 14 days. After that, they drop off and become a records request. The log lists name, age, sex, race, offense, and report number. Juvenile data is not there.

Third, place a call. OCCC's main line is (808) 832-1777. Staff confirm if a named person is in custody. For East Honolulu cases still being processed, District 7 at (808) 723-3369 may have context the roster does not yet show.

A solid East Honolulu jail roster search needs:

• Full name of the person
• Date of birth if you have it
• Approximate arrest date and place

Oahu Community Correctional Center

The Oahu Community Correctional Center, or OCCC, is the detention end point for most East Honolulu arrests. It is at 2199 Kamehameha Highway in Honolulu. The main phone is (808) 832-1777. OCCC holds pretrial adults and people serving short terms. It has roughly 950 beds and is the biggest jail in the state. It is run by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Once an East Honolulu arrestee clears Central Receiving, they ride a transport van to OCCC. From there, the name rolls into the East Honolulu jail roster that shows up on VINELink and on internal DCR records. OCCC business office hours run 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day but state holidays. Visitation happens 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and each visit must be booked by phone at (808) 832-1633 between 9 a.m. and noon.

The OCCC page from dcr.hawaii.gov above shows visitation steps, deposit rules, and the main numbers that cover every East Honolulu jail roster intake.

Money deposits are capped at $60 per inmate per day. Only close family may deposit during the first 30 days. Cashier's checks and money orders are fine. All slips need the full inmate name.

Records Division and Report Requests

HPD Records and Identification Division handles East Honolulu report requests. The office takes mail, email, and in-person submissions. Reports are released after the case closes. If the division cannot release the report, they can send a verification letter instead. Standard copies cost 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each page after that. Color copies run 65 cents a page. Verification letters start at $1. Large batches may need a deposit up front.

The Records Division page above lays out the exact steps and email contacts for any older East Honolulu jail roster file that is past the 14-day log window.

The division sits at 801 South Beretania Street. For a full criminal history on a name, the state sends you to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 South King Street, Room 102. HCJDC runs name-based and fingerprint-based checks. The name check is fee-based.

You can also use the HPD police reports page for exact mailing addresses and email contacts. Walk-in phone requests for older records are not accepted.

Court Process for East Honolulu

All East Honolulu criminal cases land in the First Circuit Court. The Hawaii State Judiciary runs eCourt Kokua, an online system that links case numbers, charges, court dates, and dispositions to a defendant name. If a name is on the East Honolulu jail roster, a short eCourt Kokua check will often pull the next hearing.

Initial appearance happens within 48 hours of arrest, not counting weekends and holidays. If the person bails out or is released on their own recognizance, the East Honolulu jail roster entry drops fast. If not, the person stays at OCCC while the case moves through arraignment, motions, and trial. The First Circuit covers the whole City and County of Honolulu, so East Honolulu cases share the same docket as urban Honolulu and Kailua cases.

Federal Arrests and HPD Main Site

Federal arrests in the City and County of Honolulu, including ones from East Honolulu, land at the Federal Detention Center Honolulu. That facility does not show up on the state East Honolulu jail roster. Use the BOP inmate locator for federal holds. The BOP tool covers anyone booked federally since 1982.

The HPD main site above links out to each district station, including District 7 East Honolulu. It is a fast stop when confirming where an arrest was made on Oahu.

If the search comes up empty everywhere, the arrest may still be in the intake window at Central Receiving before the booking posts publicly. Wait a few hours and try again.

East Honolulu Jail Roster Laws

The East Honolulu jail roster is shaped by state law. Under HRS Chapter 353, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation must keep records on every person held in state custody. That statutory duty is what creates the roster in the first place. HRS § 846-9 narrows access to arrest records that did not lead to a conviction, which is why the public daily log is broader than post-case record packages.

Public access to the arrest log runs under the Uniform Information Practices Act. The Office of Information Practices posts the UIPA rules online. UIPA, codified at HRS Chapter 92F, gives the public a right to inspect government records, with some exemptions for active cases and juvenile records. HPD policy on what it posts and withholds follows the statute. For most East Honolulu jail roster entries, the 14-day public window is a direct result of UIPA and HPD rule.

Juvenile arrests are never on the log. Those records are sealed by statute.
