Waipahu Crime Data and Arrest Logs

HPD publishes a crime highlights dashboard that shows recent incident data across Oahu, including the Waipahu area. The log is updated regularly and covers a rolling 72-hour window. Common incident types in the Ewa and Waipahu areas include theft, assault, unattended deaths, and traffic incidents. Older highlights from the past two weeks are also available in the archive on the same page.

You can view the current HPD crime highlights at hpdb.honolulu.gov. The dashboard is free and requires no login. It does not show names or case numbers but does give a picture of recent activity in each district. For Waipahu-specific data, filter by District 3 when that option is available.

HPD also maintains a wanted persons list. It is updated as new warrants are issued and as subjects are located. The page below is the source for that list, which may include individuals tied to Waipahu incidents.

The HPD wanted persons list at honolulupd.org/information/wanted-persons/ shows active warrants and fugitive lookouts across Honolulu County. Cases linked to Waipahu may appear here when subjects have outstanding warrants.

Hawaii HCJDC Criminal History Records

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC) runs the official statewide criminal history repository. Convictions from Waipahu cases are included in this system. The HCJDC is at 465 S. King Street in Honolulu. Phone: (808) 587-3279. Agency website: ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/.

There are two ways to access HCJDC records. The first is eCrim, an online self-service portal at ecrim.ehawaii.gov/ahewa/. A name-based search costs $5. A certified result is $12. Certified results include an official seal and are suitable for legal use. The second option is a public access site visit, where a printed result costs $25. Locations are listed at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/public-access-sites/.

The image below shows the HCJDC main page. It is the starting point for background checks covering all of Hawaii, including Waipahu criminal history.

Name-based eCrim searches are open to the public. They do not require a reason or authorization. Results show felony and misdemeanor conviction history statewide. If you need a fingerprint-based check for official purposes, HCJDC can direct you to that process.

Note: eCrim only shows convictions. Arrests without a conviction, dismissed charges, and cases that were expunged do not appear in standard public results.

Using Waipahu Criminal Records

People look up criminal records for many reasons. Some are checking their own record. Others need to verify facts for legal cases. Court records are often used by attorneys, parties to lawsuits, and people working through family law matters.

Hawaii law governs who can see what. Most arrest and conviction records are public. Some records are sealed by court order. Juvenile records are generally not public. Expungement can remove eligible records from public view. The Hawaii Revised Statutes cover expungement under HRS Chapter 831. If you think a record may have been expunged, HCJDC or the court clerk can confirm whether a file exists.

For questions about your own criminal history record in Hawaii, the HCJDC at (808) 587-3279 is the right contact. For court case details, call the Pearl City District Court at (808) 534-6900.
