Kailua Police Reports and Arrest Logs

To get a police report tied to a Kailua incident, you go through the HPD Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street in Honolulu. Walk-in and mail requests are both accepted.

HPD publishes daily crime activity data on its public dashboard at hpdb.honolulu.gov. The log shows 72 hours of recent incidents by district. Kailua incidents fall under District 4 in this system. The dashboard is free and open to the public.

Note: Police reports sometimes take several days to finalize after an incident. If a report is not yet available, check back or contact the Records Division to confirm when it will be ready.

Kaneohe District Court for Kailua Criminal Cases

Kailua criminal cases are filed at the Kaneohe District Court. This is a branch court of the First Circuit of Hawaii, which covers all of Oahu. The courthouse is at 45-939 Pookela Street, Kaneohe, HI 96744. Call (808) 534-6300 for hours and clerk assistance. First Circuit information is at courts.state.hi.us/courts/first_circuit.

The Kaneohe District Court handles misdemeanor crimes, traffic violations, petty misdemeanors, and related civil matters for the windward Oahu area. It serves both the Kailua and Kaneohe communities. Felony charges are moved to the Circuit Court level within the First Circuit. All criminal filings at the Kaneohe court become part of the public record unless sealed by order.

You can search Kailua court records for free through eCourt Kokua at courts.state.hi.us/legal_references/records/search_court_records. Search by name or case number. Results show charge details, court appearances, and case outcomes. Public access terminals are available inside the Kaneohe courthouse for those who prefer to search on-site.

Public records searches are available through the eCrim portal at ecrim.ehawaii.gov/ahewa/. A standard name-based search is $5. A certified result is $12.

The HCJDC image below shows the main agency page, which serves as the entry point for all Hawaii criminal history checks including records from Kailua and the Windward Oahu area.

Name-based searches through eCrim return felony and misdemeanor convictions statewide. If you need a fingerprint-based check, that requires a more formal process through the HCJDC. Contact them directly for details on authorized fingerprint requests.

Community Programs and Records Access in Kailua

The HPD Community Policing Team in District 4 offers several programs for Kailua residents. These include the Keiki ID and Kupuna ID programs, the "Say Hi" community engagement initiative, and school outreach events. The team also runs traffic safety awareness programs and handles referrals for residents who need help navigating public safety resources. Reach the team at (808) 723-8874.

These programs are separate from criminal records access but are part of the public safety infrastructure in Kailua. For records-specific questions, the HPD Records Division and the HCJDC are the right contacts. The Kaneohe District Court clerk at (808) 534-6300 handles questions about court filings and certified copies of case records.

Hawaii law allows individuals to request their own criminal history record from HCJDC. If you believe a record contains errors or shows something that should have been expunged, you can file a challenge through HCJDC. The process is explained on their website at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/.
