Search Kapolei Jail Roster
The Kapolei jail roster tracks people booked by Honolulu Police Department District 8, which covers Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Makakilo, and much of leeward Oahu. Kapolei does not run its own jail. Arrests made in the city move through the HPD district station on Kamokila Boulevard and then ship to the Oahu Community Correctional Center for full booking. To search the Kapolei jail roster, check the HPD adult arrest log for the last 14 days, use VINELink for current custody status, or call OCCC for a name check. This page walks through each tool.
Kapolei Overview
Kapolei Police Station District 8
The Kapolei Police Station is HPD District 8. The station sits at 1100 Kamokila Boulevard, Kapolei, HI 96707. The main line is (808) 723-8400 and the fax is (808) 723-8416. District 8 covers leeward Oahu, which means Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Ewa Gentry, Ocean Pointe, Makakilo, Royal Kunia, and the surrounding towns all the way out to the Waianae coast.
Every Kapolei jail roster entry starts at District 8. Officers bring a person in cuffs to the holding area, take prints, and run a records check. Minor holds may be cited and released. Anyone with a felony or a serious misdemeanor gets moved by van to the Central Receiving Division at Alapai headquarters in Honolulu. From there, they go into OCCC. The Kapolei Police Station itself is not a long-term jail.
Per HPD source material at honolulupd.org, District 8 is one of eight patrol districts. The station has a report counter open to the public, and walk-ins can file reports on many non-emergency matters there. For active custody questions, though, the right stop is OCCC.
The HPD homepage links each district station, and District 8 in Kapolei is listed with its direct number for community contact and Kapolei jail roster questions.

How to Search Kapolei Jail Roster
There is no single Kapolei jail roster page. The booking data lives in three public tools. Each one shows a different slice of the same set of arrests.
To run a Kapolei jail roster search, have a few facts ready:
- Full legal name and any known aliases
- Date of birth if you have it
- Approximate arrest date in Kapolei
- HPD district where the arrest took place (District 8 for Kapolei)
- Any case or report number
First, check VINELink. The statewide VINE portal shows current custody for people held at OCCC and all other state jails. Type a name or offender ID. Results show the facility, the booking date, and the current hold status. VINELink is free. You can register for email or phone alerts if custody status shifts.
Second, read the HPD adult arrest log at honolulupd.org. Fresh Kapolei arrests show up here within a day or two. The log rolls off after 14 days. Third, call OCCC at (808) 832-1777 for a name check.
Oahu Community Correctional Center
Every Kapolei arrest that goes past a simple citation ends up at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC is at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main phone is (808) 832-1777. This is the primary state-run jail for Oahu and the core stop on any Kapolei jail roster search.
All Kapolei bookings are processed through the Central Receiving Division at Alapai headquarters before transfer to OCCC. CRD is the main cell block and intake hub for the entire island. Once intake is done, the person moves to OCCC for holding, and OCCC is where the formal custody record lives. VINELink pulls data straight from that state system.
OCCC has about 950 beds, which makes it the largest jail in Hawaii. It holds adult men and women awaiting trial and short-sentence inmates. The business office is open 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily except state holidays. Visits are 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily and must be scheduled by phone. See the OCCC facility page for the full rules.
The OCCC page above is run by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and has the contact numbers, visitation steps, and deposit rules tied to every Kapolei jail roster entry in adult custody.
Hale Ho'omalu Juvenile Detention
Juvenile arrests in Kapolei follow a different track. Minors taken into custody by HPD may be booked at the Hale Ho'omalu Juvenile Detention Facility, which sits at 287 Kamokila Boulevard, Kapolei, HI 96707. The phone is (808) 954-8400. The facility runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Hale Ho'omalu holds juvenile offenders on pre-adjudication status. Intake is staffed at all hours because arrests can happen late at night or on weekends. The facility works with the Family Court of the First Circuit on hearings and placements.
Note: Juvenile records are confidential under Hawaii law. They do not appear in the Kapolei jail roster, on VINELink, or on the HPD adult arrest log. Family members should contact Hale Ho'omalu directly for case-by-case status.
Because the juvenile facility sits right next to the police station, Kapolei handles a big share of the island's juvenile intake. Still, the rule holds. No juvenile name lands on any public Kapolei jail roster.
HPD Arrest Logs 14 Day Window
The Honolulu Police Department posts a daily adult arrest log online. This is the fastest public feed for new Kapolei jail roster entries. The log lists date and time of arrest, name, age, sex, race, the arresting officer, the offense, and the report number. It never lists juveniles.
The log stays up for 14 days. After that, the entry drops off the public page. The same log is also posted 24 hours a day at the Alapai headquarters security post, and anyone can read it or copy it by hand. Older logs need a written request through the Records and Identification Division. Phone or walk-in requests for older logs are not accepted.
The full HPD arrest logs page is the right place to start a fresh Kapolei jail roster look-up. District 8 arrests show up in the same feed as arrests from the other seven districts, so the whole island is on one page.
Kapolei Jail Roster Records Requests
For any Kapolei jail roster record older than 14 days, the path is the HPD Records and Identification Division at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The division handles all written police report requests for Oahu.
Fees are low. Black and white copies run 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each extra page. Color copies are 65 cents. Verification letters start at $1. Larger requests may need a deposit. Reports longer than 10 pages are usually not ready the same day.
The HPD Records Division page shows the forms, fees, and mailing details needed to pull older Kapolei jail roster paperwork tied to a specific case file.
For a broader criminal history check, Kapolei residents can go to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 South King Street, Room 102, Honolulu. HCJDC handles name-based and fingerprint-based criminal history reports. Police reports are also available through the police reports portal.
First Circuit Court eCourt Kokua
Every Kapolei jail roster name moves into the First Circuit Court. The Hawaii State Judiciary runs eCourt Kokua, a free online search for case data, charges, court dates, and dispositions. Type a name to tie a Kapolei booking to a case file, a case number, and the next hearing.
Initial appearances are set within 48 hours of arrest, not counting weekends or state holidays. If the court grants release on bail or on the person's own recognizance, the name drops off the Kapolei jail roster fast. If not, the person stays at OCCC while the case goes through arraignment, motions, and trial. Court records outlast jail records, so eCourt Kokua is often the best long-term source.
The statewide VINELink portal shown above lets the public track active custody across Hawaii, which covers every Kapolei jail roster hold now at OCCC or any other state facility.
Kapolei Jail Roster Laws
Public access to the Kapolei jail roster runs on a mix of state statutes. Under HRS Chapter 353, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation must keep records on every person in custody. That duty is the legal base for the booking data shared with VINELink and released on request.
The Uniform Information Practices Act at HRS Chapter 92F controls what state and county offices must release. UIPA is why the HPD arrest log is posted in the first place. It sets the default to open and forces agencies to show a clear reason before they withhold. Daily logs qualify as public because a recent arrest is a current event.
HRS ยง 846-9 handles non-conviction data. An arrest without a conviction has tighter rules than the daily log. The 14-day rolling window on the HPD arrest log is one way the rules play out. After the window closes, older arrest entries without a conviction are not pushed to the public. A formal records request may still clear them for release, but the standard is higher.
Federal arrests in Kapolei land under a separate system. Federal defendants do not appear on the state Kapolei jail roster. Use the BOP inmate locator for anyone booked on a federal charge since 1982.
