Honolulu County Jail Roster
The Honolulu County jail roster is held by the state, not the county. Everyone booked on Oahu passes through the Central Receiving Division of the Honolulu Police Department and then lands at the Oahu Community Correctional Center. To search the Honolulu County jail roster, use VINELink for custody status, check the HPD adult arrest log for the last 14 days, or call OCCC for a direct answer. County police run the arrests, and the state runs the beds.
Honolulu County Overview
Oahu Community Correctional Center
The Oahu Community Correctional Center is the heart of the Honolulu County jail roster. Known as OCCC, the facility sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway in Honolulu. It has roughly 950 beds, making it the largest detention center in the state. OCCC holds adult men and women who are waiting for trial or serving short sentences. It is run by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
OCCC also handles intake for all of Oahu. The Central Receiving Division runs the main cell block and processes every Honolulu County booking. That means any name on the Honolulu County jail roster on a given day likely passed through Central Receiving first. Business office hours run 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day except state holidays. Visitation is available between 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. daily, and visits must be scheduled by calling (808) 832-1633 between 9 a.m. and noon.
The facility page lists money deposit rules, mail guidelines, and visitation steps. The daily cash deposit limit is $60 per inmate. Only immediate family may make deposits during the first 30 days. Cashier's checks and money orders are also accepted, payable to OCCC with the inmate name on the slip.
The screenshot above is the official OCCC page on the DCR site. It has the current visitation steps, the deposit rules, and the main contact numbers for the Honolulu County jail roster intake facility.

Honolulu Police Department Arrest Logs
The Honolulu Police Department posts its adult arrest log online every day. This is the fastest way to see fresh names before they show up on the full Honolulu County jail roster. The log covers date and time of arrest, name, age, sex, race, arresting officer, offense, and the report number. Juvenile data never appears.
Logs stay online for 14 days after they are issued. The same log also displays 24 hours a day at the Alapai headquarters security post. Anyone can inspect it. You can copy the log by hand. Older logs require a written request through the Records and Identification Division, and walk-in or phone requests for older records are not accepted. The process follows the Office of Information Practices rules under UIPA.
The HPD arrest log page above is the public access point for new Honolulu County jail roster entries from the last two weeks.
HPD runs the entire Honolulu County jail roster intake from its Alapai headquarters at 801 South Beretania Street. The main phone is (808) 529-3111. Business hours run Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. District 7 in East Honolulu can be reached at (808) 723-3369. The public access policy spells out exactly what is and is not released.
How to Search the Honolulu County Jail Roster
There are three main paths. Each one shows a different part of the Honolulu County jail roster.
First, use VINELink. The statewide VINE portal includes Honolulu County custody status. Type a name or an offender ID to pull up the facility and current hold. You can also register to get alerts when the person moves. VINELink is free and anonymous.
Second, read the HPD arrest log at honolulupd.org. This gives you fresh bookings for the last 14 days. It won't show anyone older, but it beats any other tool for new arrests in Honolulu County.
Third, call the facility. OCCC's main number is (808) 832-1777. Staff can confirm whether a named person is in custody. For East Honolulu, Kapolei, or Waianae, you can also reach out to the local HPD district station for context on a pending case.
The HPD homepage above links out to each district station, which can help confirm where an arrest was made within the Honolulu County jail roster flow.
To run a Honolulu County jail roster search through HPD or OCCC, you need:
- Full name of the person
- Date of birth if you have it
- Approximate arrest date and district
Police Reports and Records Requests
The Records and Identification Division handles all police report requests for Honolulu County. For arrest reports, Motor Vehicle Collision reports, or incident reports, you can submit a request by mail, email, or in person. Reports are released only when the case is closed. If a report is not releasable, the division can often issue a verification letter instead.
The police reports page shows the full request process with exact email addresses, mailing info, and current fees tied to every Honolulu County jail roster case file.
Fees are modest. A standard page copy is 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each extra page. Verification letters start at $1. Color copies are 65 cents. Large requests may require a deposit. Reports longer than 10 pages may not be same-day.
The division sits at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. For an official summary of arrest records, Honolulu County sends people to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 South King Street, Room 102. That office handles name checks and fingerprint-based criminal history reports.
The Records Division page lays out each district station's direct number for checking TRO service status and older Honolulu County jail roster entries.
Other Honolulu County Detention Sites
OCCC is the main stop on the Honolulu County jail roster, but it is not the only facility on Oahu. Sentenced men serve time at Halawa Correctional Facility in Aiea. Sentenced women go to the Women's Community Correctional Center in Kailua. Minimum-security men close to release move to Waiawa Correctional Facility in Waipahu. Juvenile holds go to Hale Ho'omalu in Kapolei.
Federal arrests in the City and County of Honolulu land at the Federal Detention Center Honolulu at 351 Elliott Street. FDC holds men and women with pending federal cases. The phone is (808) 838-4200. The federal inmate locator at bop.gov/inmateloc covers anyone booked federally since 1982.
Note: Federal inmates do not appear on the Honolulu County jail roster run by the state. Use the BOP locator for federal detentions.
Honolulu Police Department's public access to arrest logs is covered by department policy and state law. The policy at honolulupd.org explains what is posted, what is withheld, and how the 14-day rotation works.
The policy page spells out the fine print that shapes every Honolulu County jail roster entry available to the public.
First Circuit Court Records
Every Honolulu County jail roster name eventually lands in the First Circuit Court. The Hawaii State Judiciary runs eCourt Kokua, an online search for case info, charges, court dates, and dispositions. Searching by name ties a booking on the Honolulu County jail roster to a court file, a case number, and the next hearing.
Court records matter because initial appearances happen within 48 hours of arrest, not counting weekends or holidays. If the person bonds out or is released on their own recognizance, they leave the Honolulu County jail roster fast. If not, the roster entry continues while the case moves through arraignment, motions, and trial.
Under HRS Chapter 353, DCR has the statutory duty to keep records on every person in custody, which is the legal base of the Honolulu County jail roster. HRS ยง 846-9 controls access to non-conviction data, which is why arrest records without a conviction are more limited than the public daily log.
