KPD Daily Arrest Log for 72 Hour Booking
The Kauai Police Department posts a Daily Media Arrest Report for every 24-hour booking window. KPD HQ sits at 3990 Kaana Street, Suite 200, Lihue, HI 96766. The report shows residence info, charges, and booking details for each person taken in. You can download the PDF from the Kauai County arrest log page.
Each day's log pulls from the full island. KPD covers all of Kauai and the small island of Niihau. If you know the arrest took place on Kauai, start here. You can search by date range, and the PDFs list names in order of booking time. That lets you scan a short window without a name search.
The page shows how each Daily Media Arrest Report is dated and stacked for the public. The file lists name, age, sex, town of residence, charge, and booking time. Use the date filter to pull logs for a short range.
Note: KPD Daily Media Arrest Reports post as PDFs and may rotate, so save any Kauai County 72 Hour Booking entry you need right away.
What Kauai 72 Hour Booking Records Show
Each Kauai County 72 Hour Booking record packs a core set of fields. The arrestee data covers full legal name, date of birth, a physical description, gender, race, ethnicity, and home address. Some records list ID numbers, fingerprints, and a booking photograph. The arrest details show the date and time of arrest, the location, the arresting agency, and the name or badge number of the officer. A short reason for the arrest sits next to the offense.
Charge info lists each statute cited, the offense classification, and the count. If the arrest came from a warrant, the record lists the warrant number and the issuing court. Booking info covers date, time, OTN, fingerprint and photo records, and personal property stored by KPD. Bond or bail info shows the amount set, payment status, and any release conditions. Court info points to the next hearing date, the judge, and the court location. Custody status notes if the person is still held, has been released on bond, or moved to another facility.
For the state-level open records rules that shape every Kauai arrest file, see the UIPA page from the Office of Information Practices.
The OIP page covers how the county must release or redact parts of a Kauai 72 Hour Booking record. It also lists appeal steps when a request is denied.
Request Process for 72 Hour Booking Reports
You can get a Kauai County 72 Hour Booking report in person or by mail. To file in person, go to Kauai Police HQ at 3990 Kaana Street, Suite 200, Lihue, HI 96766. Ask for the Records Division. To file online, submit the Records Request for Non-Businesses form on the county site. The form asks for full name, home address, phone, and photo ID.
You must list the type of record you want and the date of incident. A fee may apply. KPD sets up an appointment for pickup once the file is ready. Written requests need a completed records request form, a copy of a government ID, a full record spec, a self-addressed stamped envelope, and payment. For the state-level criminal history path, see the HCJDC records check page.
The page lists every fee, form, and ID rule for pulling a Kauai arrestee's state criminal history. It also covers both the name-based and fingerprint paths.
Requests fall under HRS § 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act. Under § 92F-11, all government records are open unless the law closes them. Section § 92F-13 lists the limits. Read the UIPA guide for a deep look.
KPD Records Division
The KPD Records Division sits at 3990 Kaana Street, Suite 200, Lihue, HI 96766. Call (808) 241-1711 for help. Hours run Monday to Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The office closes on state holidays. The Records Division is the main path for Kauai County 72 Hour Booking files that fall off the Daily Media Arrest Report.
Walk-in service works best for short requests. Staff can pull a booking file, a mugshot, or bond info tied to a recent intake. Longer file pulls may need a written request. For past arrest history, use eCrim at $5 per search. Under HRS § 846-9, eCrim only shows arrests that ended in a conviction.
To pull a formal criminal history report, go through HCJDC. Both name-based and fingerprint checks are on offer. Fees range from $30 to $55 based on the method.
Note: KPD Records Division hours are Monday to Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed on state holidays, so plan your 72 Hour Booking visit early.
