Search Urban Honolulu Recent Bookings

Urban Honolulu recent bookings flow through one main door. That door is the cellblock at HPD's Alapai Headquarters. To track an arrest, start with the HPD Daily Arrest Logs. The logs name each person booked, list the charge, and show the time and place of arrest. If the person cannot post bail, they move to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. Court records land on eCourt Kokua. Each tool shows a different stage of the Urban Honolulu recent bookings process. Knowing the order keeps your search short.

HPD Alapai Headquarters Booking

Urban Honolulu is the heart of Oahu. It is the core of the City and County of Honolulu. Arrests here are made by the Honolulu Police Department. The main station is at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. That site is known as Alapai Headquarters. The Central Receiving Division runs the main cellblock there.

Most adults booked in Urban Honolulu are brought to Alapai. Officers take fingerprints, photos, and charge details. They log the arrest into HPD's system. The data then flows to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center under HRS Chapter 846. That step feeds the state repository and ties the arrest to the statewide record.

For more on the station, visit the HPD office locations page. Lead-in info on the main station and the ways to reach each desk is posted there. The general line is (808) 529-3111. The Records Unit is (808) 723-3258.

The listing page shows Alapai as the main site for Urban Honolulu recent bookings. The Adult Release door at the back of the station is where cash bail is posted. The bailout takes about 30 minutes on a normal day.

Urban Honolulu Daily Arrest Logs

The HPD Daily Arrest Log is the top public tool for Urban Honolulu recent bookings. It covers the whole island, but most entries are from the Urban Honolulu core. The log lists each adult arrested in the past 14 days.

Pull the logs from HPD Daily Arrest Logs. Each file is a PDF. Each file covers a 6-hour block. A new file is posted four times a day. The Information Technology Division loads the file to the site. Printed logs are also posted at the Central Receiving security post at Alapai. The post is open 24 hours a day.

To search a log fast, open the PDF. Press Ctrl+F. Type the name. The search hits each spot the name appears. Each row has the arrest time, the booking code, and the release code. Those codes let you see if the person is still held. You do not need an account to view the logs. They cost nothing. The key trade off is the 14-day window.

The log fields to check are:

• Full name and any alias
• Age, sex, and race
• Charges and offense codes
• Arrest report number
• Time and manner of release
• Location of arrest in Urban Honolulu

The log is not a full police report. It does not hold the sworn affidavit. It does not show witness names. For those, file a report request with HPD. The Records Unit is open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Fees run $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 for each added page.

Central Receiving for Urban Honolulu Recent Bookings

Central Receiving is the division of HPD that books adults brought to Alapai. It is the first stop for most Urban Honolulu recent bookings. Officers there check in the arrestee, hold them in the cellblock, and keep track of court dates.

Visit the HPD Central Receiving Division page for rules on bail and release. Bail may be paid in cash or bond. Cash must be in exact change. For cash bail above $10,000, an IRS Form 8300 is required. Photos and video are not allowed in the facility.

The page shows how the division splits work between adult and juvenile release. Juveniles can only be released to a parent or legal guardian with ID. They cannot be released to an adult sibling without court paperwork.

To find out if someone is held at Alapai, call (808) 723-3000. If you are not sure which station has them, try the other HPD lines. Alapai holds most Urban Honolulu bookings, but an arrest in Waikiki, Kalihi, or Kaimuki may be held closer to the arrest spot before it is moved.

OCCC Custody After Urban Honolulu Arrest

If bail is not posted, HPD moves the person to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. OCCC sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. It is the main jail for Honolulu County and most Urban Honolulu recent bookings end up there.

OCCC has a 950-bed capacity. It is run by the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The main phone is (808) 832-1777. The visitation hotline is (808) 832-1633. Inmate classification is (808) 587-2567.

To track someone at OCCC, use Hawaii SAVIN. The service runs on the VINE platform. It is free. Sign up at Hawaii SAVIN. You get alerts by phone, text, or email when status changes. SAVIN does not show federal or military inmates. For facility details, see the OCCC page.

Under HRS Chapter 803, a person must be brought before a judge within 48 hours of arrest. This window controls how fast a case moves from Alapai to OCCC to court.

HPD Wanted Persons List Urban Honolulu

HPD posts an online Wanted Persons List. It is a key tool for Urban Honolulu recent bookings research. The list shows names, photos when they exist, charges, and warrant info for people sought by the department.

View the list at the HPD Wanted Persons page. The list updates as warrants are issued or recalled. Not every active warrant shows up online. Some warrants are held back for case reasons.

The page lets you scroll through names and photos. If you have a tip, call HPD at (808) 529-3111. You can also call CrimeStoppers at (808) 955-8300. Both lines accept anonymous tips. Tips may lead to an arrest that shows up in the next Urban Honolulu recent bookings log.

To check if you have an active warrant on your own name, call the Records and Identification Division Warrants Unit at (808) 723-3258. Do not show up at Alapai to ask in person without calling first.
