HPD District 8 and Kapolei Background Check

Kapolei is served by Honolulu Police Department District 8. The phone line is (808) 723-8400. District 8 also covers Waianae at (808) 723-8600. The Kapolei Police Station is the main law enforcement hub for West Oahu and handles patrol, investigations, and community policing for Kapolei, Ewa Beach, and the surrounding Ewa Plain.

The image above shows the HPD Police Reports page. You can file a non-emergency Kapolei police report through the Online Citizen Police Report System, or request records by mail to the HPD Records Division at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. Kapolei reports are released under HRS Chapter 92F-13 once the case is closed.

HPD itself does not run a Kapolei background check. The agency refers all criminal history record check requests to HCJDC at (808) 587-3279. For copies of a specific Kapolei police report, the HPD Records Division is the right stop.

Kapolei District Court Records

The Kapolei District Court sits at 5640 South Street, Kapolei, HI 96707. The phone line is (808) 534-6700.

Court records from Kapolei filings feed into a broader Kapolei background check through the state's court search tool.

For felony matters and larger civil cases, the First Circuit Court in downtown Honolulu takes over from the Kapolei District Court. The Kapolei court keeps misdemeanor and small-claims files. Any Kapolei court record marked with a PDF icon on eCourt Kokua can be bought for $3 per document of 1 to 30 pages, plus 10 cents for each page after.
