Find Released Inmates in Kaneohe
Kaneohe released inmates records trace back to the HPD District 4 headquarters on Waikalua Road, then to OCCC in Honolulu. Kaneohe is the main command post for all of Windward Oahu. Arrests in Kaneohe, Kailua, and Kahuku funnel through here first. Sentenced men may end up at Halawa, Waiawa, or the Laumaka Work Furlough Center in the Kaneohe area. You can search by last name, case number, or booking ID. This page shows each way to track Kaneohe released inmates from arrest through release.
Kaneohe Overview
Kaneohe Police Station District 4 HQ
The Kaneohe Police Station at 45-270 Waikalua Road, Kaneohe, HI 96744 is the main District 4 HQ. The front line is (808) 723-8640. District 4 covers the entire Windward side of Oahu. That means Kaneohe, Kailua, Kahuku, Laie, Waimanalo, and the small towns up the coast. HPD also runs a smaller post at the Kahuku Substation, 56-470 Kamehameha Highway, (808) 723-8650. Kailua has its own substation at 219 Kuulei Road. All three sites report to the District 4 commander in Kaneohe.
Arrests in Kaneohe start here on Waikalua Road. Officers log the intake, take fingerprints, and start the booking form. From there, the suspect moves to the Oahu Community Correctional Center in Honolulu. OCCC is the main intake jail for all of Oahu. Kaneohe does not hold people in custody for long. The station is built to process and transfer, not to store. That is why Kaneohe released inmates data shows up in the OCCC log and not a local one.
The HPD also posts a county arrest log that covers all four districts. District 4 arrests from Kaneohe show up in that log. It refreshes in six-hour slots and keeps 14 days of data. Find it at honolulupd.org/information/arrest-logs.
Note: Kaneohe is a police HQ, not a jail, so no public in-custody roster sits on a whiteboard at the station.
Kaneohe Inmate Search Resources
Kaneohe released inmates are held at OCCC, 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The main line is (808) 832-1777. New bookings from District 4 tend to appear in OCCC records 4 to 12 hours after intake. That lag matters if you are trying to find a person who just got picked up. Wait half a day, then check the VINE link and call OCCC to confirm.
VINELink is the public face of Hawaii SAVIN. Search by last name first. A partial name search is allowed. Full name brings back the best match. Booking numbers are the key identifier the system uses, so write down any booking number you get. That number never changes across custody moves, so it works across OCCC, Halawa, and Waiawa. The tool lives at vinelink.com. You can also call the DCR main office at (808) 587-1350 for help with a custody question. The DCR sits at 1177 Alakea Street, Room 400, Honolulu.
Main search tools for Kaneohe released inmates:
- VINELink for current SAVIN custody status
- DCR facility pages at dcr.hawaii.gov
- HPD arrest logs for District 4
- eCourt Kokua for case hearing dates
- eCrim at ecrim.ehawaii.gov for conviction history
OCCC and the other state sites run on HRS Chapter 353, the state corrections code. That chapter sets up the DCR and gives it the power to hold people.
OCCC details and visitor rules are at dcr.hawaii.gov/facilities/oahu-community-correctional-center. Call the Visitation Hotline at (808) 832-1633 for the current list of visiting days.
Laumaka Work Furlough Center
Laumaka Work Furlough is a small DCR community custody program that sits in the Kaneohe area. Men nearing release may do the last part of their sentence there. The whole point is to ease the move from prison back to the free world. Residents work off-site during the day at approved jobs. They come back at night for head count, meals, and program hours. Drug testing is part of the deal. So is a clean record while in the program.
Laumaka is listed under the DCR Community Corrections arm. Referral comes from the inmate's case manager, not from the inmate or the family. Placement needs a clean in-custody record and a fit with the release plan. The facility is much smaller than OCCC or Halawa. Getting a slot is not a given. Kaneohe released inmates who go through Laumaka tend to have stable housing lined up and a job offer in hand.
Visitation rules at Laumaka differ from the main jails. Residents have more flexible visit hours since they are on work release. The DCR main site lists all community corrections programs. Start at dcr.hawaii.gov and follow the links to Community Corrections.
Note: Laumaka is a transitional program, so residents there are already on the back end of a sentence and are getting ready for full release.
Kaneohe Released Inmates Records UIPA
Formal record requests for Kaneohe released inmates go through the Uniform Information Practices Act. UIPA is Chapter 92F of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. It is the state's open records law. The DCR, the HPD, and the courts all handle UIPA requests. A written request must list your contact info, describe the record, and say how you want to get it. Pick-up, mail, and email are all options. The agency has 10 business days to respond. Full production can run 5 to 10 business days after the agency says yes.
Visitation for Kaneohe released inmates held at OCCC needs advance work. The inmate must put the visitor on an approved list. The visitor must pass a short check. Photo ID is required at the gate. Video visitation may be available for some facilities. The DCR sets the rules and can change them for lockdowns or staffing.
Release tracking is the last piece. You can get a release date three ways. Call the booking desk at OCCC. Sign up for VINE alerts. Check the court file on eCourt Kokua. A court order sets the date. The booking desk confirms the match. VINE sends the alert when the inmate walks out.
The OIP runs the UIPA program. Guidance, forms, and sample letters live at oip.hawaii.gov/laws-rules-opinions/uipa. The HCJDC covers adult conviction history under HRS 846. Start at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc.
A plain-language page on SAVIN and release alerts sits at hawaiipolice.gov/services/inmate-information. That page works for all Oahu cases even though it is hosted by the Hawaii Island police.
Court Services for Kaneohe Released Inmates
Kaneohe sits in the First Circuit. That circuit covers all of Oahu. Felony cases from Kaneohe go to Circuit Court at Ka'ahumanu Hale, 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu. Misdemeanor cases run through District Court of the First Circuit. Family Court handles cases with minors or domestic ties. Cases for Kaneohe released inmates may cross all three depending on the charge.
eCourt Kokua is the state case lookup tool. It takes a party name or case number. It shows hearing dates, charges, and final disposition. Data covers all four circuits in Hawaii, but Kaneohe cases will be under First Circuit. The tool runs at courts.hawaii.gov. Look for the Case Search link on the main page.
The court file ties back to released inmates data two ways. First, the final order sets the release date and any terms that follow. Second, any probation or parole violation brings the person back to OCCC and a new hearing. Note: eCourt data may run a business day behind actual court action, so confirm next steps with the clerk.
