East Honolulu Police Blotter

The East Honolulu Police Blotter is the daily arrest log kept by the Honolulu Police Department for the southeast coast of Oahu. East Honolulu is a census-designated place that stretches from Kahala out past Hawaii Kai. Patrol for the area runs out of HPD District 7 in Kaimuki. You can search the East Honolulu Police Blotter through the HPD arrest log page, the Records and Identification Division, or the state eCourt Kokua portal. This page lays out each path, the right phone, and the right fee so you can start your search fast.

HPD District 7 and the East Honolulu Police Blotter

HPD District 7 runs the Kaimuki Substation at (808) 723-3361. District 7 covers Kaimuki, Waialae, Kahala, Aina Haina, Niu, Hawaii Kai, and the shoreline east to Makapuu. Every call for service in those zones rolls into the East Honolulu Police Blotter. The station keeps local reports on file and hands off booking data to the main HPD Records Unit.

Each arrest starts a new line. The line lists the date and time of the stop, the name of the person, age, sex, race, the arresting officer, the charge, and the report number. No home address is listed. No phone number is listed. That redaction is spelled out in Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act that shapes the East Honolulu Police Blotter.

After booking, the person is moved to the main cellblock at Alapai Headquarters. Prints, photos, and charges are pushed from HPD to the state. That first push is the link from a local East Honolulu Police Blotter entry to the wider Hawaii criminal history file.

Search the HPD Arrest Log

The HPD Daily Arrest Log is the public view of the East Honolulu Police Blotter. Adult logs post daily. Each log stays live on the web for 14 days, then drops off. Juvenile arrests are never posted. That rule comes from HRS section 571-84(e), which keeps minor records closed. You can use the log to look up a name, a date, a District 7 case number, or a charge type.

To pull a log older than 14 days, you must send a written request to the Honolulu Police Department, Records and Identification Division, 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. Phone and walk-in requests for old logs are not accepted. Each request must list the date or dates you want. The fee for a report copy is $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 for each page after that. A color page is $0.65. A verification letter is $1.00 for the first page.

East Honolulu Crime Data

HPD ships raw case data to the Honolulu Open Data Portal. The set is listed under Public Safety. Access is free. The portal covers every Oahu district, including all of District 7 and the full East Honolulu Police Blotter area. You can filter by date, by type, and by patrol beat. Data is a snapshot and is not a live feed.

In 2024, Honolulu reported 1,849 violent crimes and 19,302 property crimes across all eight districts. District 7 numbers sit inside the HPD annual report, which breaks out calls by station and by beat. The HPD Case Report System prepares all index and non-index crime data, and that system feeds what you see on the East Honolulu Police Blotter page.

Under HRS Chapter 846, conviction data is open while non-conviction and pending data is closed. That is why a current arrest log can list a name while an eCrim run on the same name comes back empty. Chapter 92F of the HRS is the Hawaii open-records law that keeps the East Honolulu Police Blotter public. Denials can go to OIP.
