DUI records for Mililani Town are held by three separate agencies: the Honolulu Police Department District 2, the Wahiawa District Court, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. Arrest reports come from HPD. Court case records are held by the Wahiawa District Court, which serves Mililani Town and the surrounding central Oahu area. Conviction history comes from HCJDC. This guide covers each source, what records are available, how much they cost, and how to get them.

HPD District 2: DUI Arrest Reports for Mililani Town

The Honolulu Police Department covers all of Oahu, and Mililani Town falls under HPD District 2, which covers the Wahiawa and Waialua areas of central Oahu. If a DUI or OVUII arrest happened in Mililani Town, the arrest report was filed by HPD. To get a copy of that report, you contact the HPD Records Division directly. The Records Division handles all public record requests for police reports across the island. It does not matter which district made the arrest. All report requests go through the same central office.

The Records Division is located at 801 South Beretania Street in Honolulu. It is open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The office is closed on weekends and state holidays. You can submit a request in person or send it by mail. There is no online submission option for police reports.

Copies cost $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 for each additional page. Colored copies are $0.65 per page. Payment can be made by cash, check, or cashier's check payable to the City and County of Honolulu. Credit cards and debit cards are not accepted. Reports are released under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 92F. That law requires the redaction of personal details such as names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers before release. Full unredacted reports are only available after a case is fully closed.

When you contact HPD, have the police report number ready, or at least the date, time, and location of the arrest. For DUI crashes involving property damage or injury, motor vehicle collision reports can also be requested through the same Records Division by calling 808-723-3258. HPD does not provide court records, criminal abstracts, or clearance letters. Those come from the court and from HCJDC.

The HPD police reports page explains the full process for requesting DUI arrest reports for Mililani Town, including what to include in a mail request and what to expect back.

Review the HPD records page before you submit your request so you know exactly what to include and what you will receive.

Wahiawa District Court: DUI Case Records Serving Mililani Town

Mililani Town is served by the Wahiawa District Court, not the downtown Honolulu courthouse. The Wahiawa District Court is part of the First Circuit and handles traffic matters for central Oahu including OVUII cases filed in Mililani Town. The courthouse is at 1034 Kilani Avenue in Wahiawa. In-person services are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis.

Traffic abstracts are the main document for DUI record searches at the Wahiawa court. An abstract shows all alleged moving violations and any convictions, including OVUII, along with any administrative license revocations. The fee is $20 per abstract. You can get one in person at the Traffic Violations Bureau during regular hours. Mail requests are also accepted. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope, a money order or cashier's check for $20 payable to District Court, and the person's full name, date of birth, and driver's license number to the Wahiawa TVB at 1034 Kilani Avenue, Wahiawa, HI 96786. Personal checks are not accepted.

Traffic court reports are a different type of document. They include equipment and parking citations in addition to moving violations. They cost $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each page after that. Traffic court reports must be obtained in person at the Wahiawa courthouse with valid photo ID. They cannot be requested by mail.

You can also view traffic case data for free online using eCourt Kokua. The Hawaii State Judiciary traffic case records page shows case status, hearing dates, and charge information from all district courts in Hawaii including the Wahiawa Division. The data is not a certified copy but it is useful for checking case status without a trip to the courthouse.

The Hawaii State Judiciary traffic abstracts page lists all district court locations, fees, and instructions for ordering a traffic abstract by mail or in person, including Wahiawa.

Check the traffic abstracts page to confirm current fees and the exact mailing address for the Wahiawa TVB before you send a request.

Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center: DUI Conviction Records

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC) is the official statewide source for criminal conviction records. It is where you go if you need to confirm whether someone has a DUI or OVUII conviction on their record in Hawaii. The center only shows adult conviction data. Arrests without convictions and pending cases are not available through HCJDC to the general public.

The HCJDC is located at 465 South King Street, Room 102, Honolulu, HI 96813. The main office number is (808) 587-3100. The Criminal History Record Checks Unit can be reached directly at (808) 587-3279. For online access, the eCrim portal at ecrim.ehawaii.gov lets you search by name, date of birth, Social Security number, and gender. Each name search costs $5.00. If you want an official report with the full results, the cost is $12. Both steps must be completed in a single session. If you log out or the session times out after 30 minutes of inactivity, you lose the search and must start over.

HCJDC also handles fingerprint-based background checks. These are more thorough than name searches and take longer to process. For most DUI record searches tied to Mililani Town, a name-based eCrim search or an in-person request at the HCJDC office will cover what you need. Fingerprint checks are typically needed for licensing applications or official government purposes.

OVUII Law and DUI Penalties in Hawaii

Hawaii uses the term "Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant," or OVUII, instead of DUI. The offense is defined under Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 291E-61. A driver commits OVUII by operating or assuming physical control of a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs, or with a blood alcohol level of .08 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood, or with .08 grams or more per 210 liters of breath.

First-time OVUII penalties under HRS 291E-61 cannot be suspended or deferred through probation. They include a mandatory 14-hour substance abuse rehabilitation program, license revocation for one to eighteen months, installation of an ignition interlock device during the revocation period, and one of the following: 72 hours of community service, 48 hours to 5 days in jail, or a fine ranging from $250 to $1,000. The judge picks one of those three options. A second conviction within 10 years is much more serious and carries at least 30 days in jail, a minimum of 240 hours of community service, a fine of $500 to $1,500, and a two-year license suspension.

A third or subsequent offense can be charged as habitual OVUII under HRS Section 291E-61.5. That is a Class C Felony. Penalties include up to five years in prison, mandatory license revocation of one to five years, vehicle forfeiture, and mandatory substance abuse treatment. All OVUII cases from Mililani Town are prosecuted by the City and County of Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney.

Administrative License Revocation: ADLRO

An OVUII arrest in Mililani Town starts two separate processes at the same time. The criminal case is handled by the Wahiawa District Court. The administrative case is handled by the Administrative Driver's License Revocation Office, or ADLRO. Each process is independent and each can result in its own penalty.

ADLRO has 8 days from the arrest date to decide whether to revoke the driver's license. If it decides to revoke, it mails notice to the address the driver gave police at the time of arrest. The revocation can take effect as early as 30 days from the arrest. Drivers have the right to request a hearing before the revocation kicks in. Missing that window means the revocation goes into effect without a hearing.

ADLRO also issues ignition interlock permits and employee driver's permits to eligible drivers whose licenses are under revocation. These let drivers continue to operate vehicles for work purposes while their license is suspended. The office can be reached at 808-534-6800. The ADLRO page on the Hawaii State Judiciary website explains the revocation timeline, how to request a hearing, and how the interlock permit program works for central Oahu residents including those in Mililani Town.

DUI Conviction Rates in the First Circuit

Mililani Town DUI cases are filed in the First Circuit, which covers all of Oahu including Honolulu County. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the First Circuit finalized 1,711 misdemeanor DUI cases. Of those, 989 resulted in convictions, a rate of 57%. That is well below the statewide average. During the same period, Maui County had a conviction rate of 87%, Kauai was at 73%, and Hawaii island was at 69%.

Not every DUI arrest leads to a court case and not every court case leads to a conviction. This is why searching both HPD arrest records and court records separately gives a more complete picture of someone's DUI history. A name search in eCrim through HCJDC fills in the conviction side of that picture. Each source covers something the others don't.

eCourt Kokua: Free Online Case Search

eCourt Kokua is the Hawaii State Judiciary's free public case search tool for traffic records. You can use it to look up OVUII and DUI cases filed in the Wahiawa District Court, which handles Mililani Town. The system shows case status, charge information, hearing dates, and disposition data. It is not a certified copy and cannot be used as official proof of a record, but it is a fast way to check whether a case exists and where it stands.

The search is available at the Hawaii State Judiciary traffic case records page. No account is needed. You can search by name or by case number. Results pull from all district courts in Hawaii including Wahiawa. For certified records or official traffic abstracts, you still need to contact the TVB directly or visit the Wahiawa courthouse in person.
