Pearl City Jail Roster Lookup

The Pearl City jail roster is not held at a city lockup. Pearl City sits under the Honolulu Police Department's District 3, and every arrest made in town is booked through HPD's Central Receiving Division at the Alapai headquarters in Honolulu. From there, most adults land on a bed at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. To search the Pearl City jail roster, you work the state and county tools: VINELink for custody status, the HPD arrest log for fresh names, eCourt Kokua for case files, and OCCC for a direct confirm. This page walks each path in plain steps.

HPD District 3 Serves Pearl City

Pearl City is patrolled by the Honolulu Police Department's District 3, known as Pearl City patrol. Any call for service inside the city goes through this district. The main District 3 phone is (808) 723-8800. District 3 covers Pearl City, Aiea, and parts of the Central Oahu corridor. Officers in the district make the arrests that eventually feed the Pearl City jail roster. The district station is the first stop if you are trying to confirm where someone was taken after a field arrest.

District 3 does not hold inmates overnight. Holding cells at the station are short-term. Arrestees are moved to the Central Receiving Division at HPD headquarters within hours. That transfer is why a name tied to Pearl City can show up on a Honolulu County list, not a city list. The Pearl City jail roster is really the slice of the county roster that came from District 3 calls.

The Honolulu Police Department website lists direct numbers for each district, including District 3. See the screenshot below.

How to Search Pearl City Jail Roster

There is no city-only list for Pearl City. You run the search through the tools that cover all of Oahu. A name that was booked in Pearl City will show up on these systems by arrest date and by facility, not by town.

To search the Pearl City jail roster, try these steps in order:

• Open VINELink and type the full name or offender ID to pull custody status
• Read the HPD adult arrest log for any booking in the last 14 days
• Call the Oahu Community Correctional Center at (808) 832-1777 to confirm a current hold
• Search eCourt Kokua by name for case files, charges, and court dates
• Call HPD District 3 at (808) 723-8800 for context on a pending Pearl City arrest

VINELink is free. It is run by the state through the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The HPD log is public, but it rotates off after two weeks. Older arrest records need a written records request through the Records and Identification Division. Each tool shows a different angle, so use more than one if the first comes up empty.

The VINELink Hawaii portal shown above covers every facility on the Pearl City jail roster chain, including OCCC and Halawa.

Oahu Community Correctional Center

Nearly all adults on the Pearl City jail roster end up at OCCC. The Oahu Community Correctional Center sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main phone is (808) 832-1777. OCCC has about 950 beds. It holds men and women who are waiting for trial and those serving short sentences. The facility is run by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

The business office is open 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily except on state holidays. Visitation runs 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and must be set up by phone at (808) 832-1633 between 9 a.m. and noon. A daily cash deposit cap of $60 per inmate applies. For the first 30 days of custody, only immediate family can make a deposit. Money orders and cashier's checks are fine, made out to OCCC with the inmate name written on the slip.

See the OCCC facility page for the full rule set. Screenshot below.

Central Receiving Division Booking Process

The Central Receiving Division, or CRD, is the booking gate for all of Oahu. Every arrest, from Pearl City to Waianae, runs through CRD at HPD headquarters, 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The main HPD number is (808) 529-3111. District 3 officers bring the arrestee from Pearl City to CRD, where prints are taken, charges are logged, and the person is held until a bed opens.

The log created at CRD is the same log that feeds the public arrest log and the Pearl City jail roster slice of it. The basics captured are date and time of arrest, name, age, sex, race, offense, report number, and arresting officer. Juvenile data is not posted. A bail clerk is on site to take bond, and initial court appearances on held cases must happen within 48 hours of arrest, minus weekends and state holidays.

The daily public log is posted at honolulupd.org/information/arrest-logs. The same list also prints at the Alapai HQ security post 24 hours a day. Anyone can walk in and inspect it.

Records and Identification Division

Older Pearl City jail roster data and full arrest reports go through the Records and Identification Division at HPD headquarters. Reports are released only after a case is closed. If a report is not releasable, the division may issue a verification letter instead. Requests come in by mail, email, or in person. Walk-in requests for older arrest logs are not accepted.

Fees are small. A standard page is 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each page after. Color copies are 65 cents. Verification letters start at $1. Large requests may need a deposit. Reports over 10 pages may not be same-day. The division is at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. For a full background check tied to a name on the Pearl City jail roster, the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 South King Street, Room 102, runs the state-level name check and the fingerprint-based criminal history report.

Copies of police reports can also be requested online when the case is closed. The public access rules follow state public records law.

First Circuit Court and eCourt Kokua

Every Pearl City jail roster entry with filed charges lands in the First Circuit Court. The Hawaii State Judiciary runs eCourt Kokua, a free online case search. Type the name to pull case number, charges, next hearing, and disposition. If bail is posted or the person is released on their own recognizance, they drop off the Pearl City jail roster fast. If not, the roster entry stays open while the case moves through arraignment, motions, and trial.

The First Circuit covers all of Oahu, so Pearl City cases share a court with Urban Honolulu, Kaneohe, and Waipahu. That is useful. You can cross-check a name on the Pearl City jail roster against a court file even if the arrest district is unclear. Federal arrests do not show here. Federal holdings go to the Federal Detention Center Honolulu, and the federal locator at bop.gov/inmateloc is the right tool for those names.

Pearl City Jail Roster Laws

The legal base for the Pearl City jail roster sits in two places. First, HRS Chapter 353 gives the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation the duty to keep records on every person in custody. That chapter covers the whole jail and prison system, including OCCC. It is why OCCC can confirm a current hold over the phone and why VINELink can post a bed and facility by name.

Second, the Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F, controls what is public. The state Office of Information Practices enforces UIPA. Under this law, the daily arrest log is a public record. Names, ages, arrest dates, and charges are open. Juvenile records are not. Non-conviction data that is sealed or expunged is also closed. HRS § 846-9 puts extra limits on arrest records without a conviction, which is why some older Pearl City jail roster entries can be harder to confirm than fresh ones.

Put together, the two laws shape what a member of the public can see. The daily roster is open. The file behind it is open once the case closes. Anything sealed is off limits.
