Honolulu County Inmate Search

An inmate search is the act of finding information about persons held in correctional or detention facilities. Such searches generally reveal inmate data like full name, aliases, mugshot, arrest date, booking number, arrest charges, and bond amount.

In Honolulu, residents can conduct inmate searches by using online or offline resources provided by government entities. For example, the Hawaii Police Department partners with a third-party platform to provide information on inmates held in Alapai'i Police Headquarters and the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC). The Federal Bureau of Prisons also maintains online access to records of inmates held in federal correctional facilities.

Note that the city and county of Honolulu do not have a personal online jail roster. The county's police department only features an online arrest log for recently arrested persons. Arrest logs do not indicate if the arrestee was detained in the county jail. To conduct inmate searches, inquirers may visit the Honolulu Police Department at this physical location:
