Search Urban Honolulu Jail Roster

The Urban Honolulu jail roster tracks every adult booked in the state capital. All arrests made by the Honolulu Police Department pass through the Central Receiving Division at Alapai headquarters before custody moves to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. To search the Urban Honolulu jail roster, you can pull the HPD arrest log for the last 14 days, check VINELink for current custody status, or call OCCC direct. This page lays out the main paths, the right phone numbers, and the exact steps to find a name fast. No waiting, no guesswork.

HPD Alapai Headquarters

The Honolulu Police Department runs all bookings for the city out of its main station at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu HI 96813. The main phone is (808) 529-3111. The building houses Central Receiving Division, which processes every Honolulu County booking. That means every name on the Urban Honolulu jail roster starts here. The cell block is active 24 hours a day. Staff take prints, photos, and intake paperwork before custody moves to OCCC.

You can visit the Alapai front desk for basic questions. The 14-day arrest log displays at the security post and is open to the public. The department site at honolulupd.org lists every district phone, policy, and service. Urban Honolulu sits inside District 1, District 5, District 6, and District 7 depending on the neighborhood, and intake for all of them routes back to Alapai.

Records and Identification Division shares the same address. This is the office that handles older report requests tied to Urban Honolulu jail roster files.

The HPD homepage below links out to every district station and key division. It is the main gateway to the Urban Honolulu jail roster system.

Use the HPD site to confirm which district covers a given street address before you call to ask about an arrest.

How to Search Urban Honolulu Jail Roster

There are three quick paths. Each one pulls a different slice of the Urban Honolulu jail roster. Pick the one that fits what you already know.

Start with the HPD adult arrest log. It covers the last 14 days. The log shows name, age, sex, race, offense, arrest date and time, the arresting officer, and the report number. Juvenile entries never appear. Next, try VINELink for live custody status. VINE is free, anonymous, and statewide. You can sign up for text or email alerts when a person moves. Third, call OCCC at (808) 832-1777 and ask staff to confirm a hold.

To run a clean Urban Honolulu jail roster search, you need:

• Full name of the person
• Date of birth if known
• Approximate arrest date

The lead-in page for the HPD log sits below. It updates daily.

The HPD log is the fastest public window on new Urban Honolulu jail roster entries.

Records and Identification Division Requests

The Records and Identification Division handles report copies for Urban Honolulu. Arrest reports, traffic crash reports, and incident reports are only released once a case is closed. If a file is not releasable, the division may issue a verification letter instead. Requests go through the Records Division page on the HPD site. You can also make a police report request through the report system.

Fees stay modest. A standard page copy costs 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each extra page. Verification letters start at $1. Color copies run 65 cents. Larger requests may need a deposit up front. Ten-page orders may not be same-day, so plan ahead.

For official criminal history, HPD sends people to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 South King Street, Room 102. The direct line is (808) 587-3279. A name-based criminal history check costs $30. Fingerprint checks cost more but are more complete. HCJDC is the state agency of record for conviction data, which ties back to every Urban Honolulu jail roster booking that led to a court case.

Oahu Community Correctional Center

The Oahu Community Correctional Center holds most of the people on the Urban Honolulu jail roster. OCCC sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu HI 96819. The main phone is (808) 832-1777. The visitation line is (808) 832-1633, open 9 a.m. to noon. OCCC is run by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, not the city. The facility page at dcr.hawaii.gov has the full deposit rules, visit steps, and mail guidelines.

OCCC holds adult men and women. Some wait for trial. Others serve short state sentences. Central Receiving Division runs the intake cell block on site. Staff do the final booking tasks before a person is assigned a bed. The facility has roughly 950 beds. Business hours run 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily, minus state holidays. Cash deposits cap at $60 a day per inmate. Only close family may deposit during the first 30 days of custody.

The DCR page for OCCC is below. Use it to confirm hours and contact info before you drive out.

OCCC is the single largest node on the Urban Honolulu jail roster, and most search hits ultimately point here.

Federal Detention Center Honolulu

Federal arrests made inside the city go to the Federal Detention Center Honolulu. FDC is at 351 Elliott Street, Honolulu HI 96819. The main phone is (808) 838-4200. The site at bop.gov has the visit schedule, mail rules, and unit info. FDC holds men and women in pending federal cases from the U.S. District Court of Hawaii.

Federal inmates are separate from the state Urban Honolulu jail roster. They will not show up on HPD logs or on VINELink. To find a federal inmate, use the BOP inmate locator. The locator covers anyone in federal custody since 1982. Search by name or by federal register number.

DEA, FBI, ATF, and U.S. Marshals holds all move through FDC. ICE detentions also use FDC. The state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has no say over these files.

The BOP page shows the FDC address, phone, and visit info, which do not appear on the state Urban Honolulu jail roster.

HPD District Stations

Urban Honolulu spans multiple HPD districts. Each district station is the first point of contact for a local arrest before the case moves to Alapai intake. Call the district that covers the place where the arrest happened to get context on a pending booking.

Main district numbers for Urban Honolulu:

• District 1 Chinatown: (808) 723-3311

• District 6 Waikiki: (808) 723-3345
• District 7 Kaimuki: (808) 723-3361

The districts do not hold people past intake. They do keep local patrol logs, traffic reports, and field data that may tie to a name on the Urban Honolulu jail roster. For formal copies, send the request through the Records and Identification Division, not the district.

Urban Honolulu Jail Roster Laws

Hawaii law shapes what shows on the Urban Honolulu jail roster and what stays off. Under HRS Chapter 353, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation must keep records on every person in custody. That is the legal base of the OCCC intake file. HRS § 846-9 limits access to non-conviction arrest data, so arrest records without a conviction stay tighter than the daily public log.

Public access runs through the Uniform Information Practices Act, codified at HRS Chapter 92F. UIPA is the state version of an open records law. It sets out what HPD must release, what can be withheld, and how to appeal a denial. The Office of Information Practices manages the rules. The 14-day arrest log policy is a direct product of UIPA balancing public access with privacy.

Court filings tied to the Urban Honolulu jail roster go to the First Circuit Court. Case info, hearing dates, and dispositions are searchable through the Hawaii State Judiciary eCourt Kokua portal. Initial appearances happen within 48 hours of arrest, not counting weekends or state holidays. If a person bonds out quickly, the name drops off the Urban Honolulu jail roster before most people ever see it.

VINELink is the free statewide way to track a name on the Urban Honolulu jail roster in real time.
