About Hawaiʻi County Criminal History

Hawaiʻi County records are divided among the Hawaiʻi Police Department, Third Circuit courts, the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, state corrections, and the covered-offender registry. We organize those official routes so readers can match a question to the office, portal, telephone line, or counter that actually holds the answer.

Why We Built This Site

Public access in Hawaiʻi depends on knowing which record was created. HPD holds incident and arrest reports. Third Circuit Legal Documents maintains filed cases and dispositions. HCJDC operates eCrim and the fingerprint-supported state repository. The Hawaiʻi Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Hawaiʻi Sex Offender and Other Covered Offender Registry answer different custody and notification questions. We bring the verified search steps, fees, contacts, and request choices together while keeping those boundaries clear.

What You Will Find Here

  • Agency contacts: HPD Records, Third Circuit courts, and statewide custodians for Hawaiʻi County material
  • Record guides: how criminal court case records are located and read
  • Record cleanup guidance: the distinct HCJDC expungement and Judiciary sealing routes under Hawaiʻi law
  • Official check steps: the differences between eCrim name searches and fingerprint-based self-review through HCJDC

What We Cannot Do

This is a privately operated reference site, with no affiliation to HPD, the Hawaiʻi Judiciary, HCJDC, or any other government agency. Those limits mean:

  • We cannot run an official background check or pull a criminal record for anyone
  • We cannot file expungement petitions, records requests, or any other paperwork on your behalf
  • We cannot issue certified copies of any criminal record, court document, or rap sheet
  • We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific charge or case applies to you
  • We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now

Only the issuing office, such as HPD, a Third Circuit court, or HCJDC, can furnish an official criminal record. This resource can identify the route, but it cannot issue the document.

Search Partners

Third-party providers power search boxes on some pages. They operate independently, set their own prices, and control their results. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports this resource. We do not determine a partner’s charges or returned information.
