Ewa Gentry Overview
Ewa Gentry Felony Records at First Circuit Court
Felony cases from Ewa Gentry are processed through the First Circuit Court at 777 Punchbowl Street in Honolulu. This is the main felony court for all of Honolulu County, which includes the entire island of Oahu. Cases involving robbery, assault in the first degree, drug dealing, and other serious charges are all filed and tracked there. Circuit court records in Hawaii are kept for 75 years, so older cases dating back to the 1950s are still in the system.
The free public tool to search these records is eCourt Kokua, run by the Hawaii Judiciary. You can search by party name or case number. Results show charges filed, case status, hearing dates, and the assigned judge. You cannot get the full case documents online, but you can see enough to confirm whether a case exists and where it stands. For full files, you visit the circuit court clerk's office in person.
West Oahu residents also have access to the Kapolei District Court, which handles lower-level cases locally. Misdemeanor cases and traffic matters for Ewa Gentry typically go to Kapolei rather than Honolulu. But felony charges always route to the First Circuit Court, no matter where on Oahu the offense occurred.

Ewa Gentry Criminal History Records via HCJDC
The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is the state agency that compiles and provides official criminal history records. HCJDC covers records from every county in Hawaii, so a search there will show cases from any island, not just Ewa Gentry or Oahu. This makes it the most thorough option when you need a complete criminal history picture.
HCJDC offers three main options. A name-based mail search costs $30 and requires a completed request form sent to the office at 465 South King Street, Room 102, Honolulu. A mail-in fingerprint search costs $35 and is more accurate since it ties the record to a specific person rather than just a name. An in-person fingerprint search costs $55 and gives you results faster. The phone number is (808) 587-3279.
Online, HCJDC offers the eCrim system, which lets you do a basic public search for $5 or get a full report for $12. That tool is available at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc. There is also a public access terminal at the HPD Beretania Street location, reachable at (808) 529-3191, that provides conviction records for $25 per printout. That option only shows convictions, not arrests or charges that were dropped.
The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center handles all official criminal history records in the state, including those tied to Ewa Gentry cases.
Public Access Terminals and Record Search Sites
HCJDC operates public access terminals at approved locations around Oahu. These terminals give you access to conviction records without having to go through the full mail-in process. You pay $25 per printout at the HPD terminal. These sites are listed at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/public-access-sites.
This is a good option if you just need a quick check on whether someone has a felony conviction. It won't show pending cases or arrests that did not result in conviction. For that, use eCourt Kokua to check the court system directly. Combining both tools gives you the most complete picture.

Legal Framework for Ewa Gentry Felony Records
Hawaii's public records law is the Uniform Information Practices Act, or UIPA, found in Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 92F. This law makes most government records available to the public. Felony court records and police reports generally fall under public access. You can formally request records from state agencies using the UIPA process through the Office of Information Practices. The Department of Law also accepts UIPA requests at law.hawaii.gov.
Access to criminal history records is also governed by HRS Section 846-2.7. That statute regulates who can get criminal history information and for what purposes. Some uses, like checking volunteers or certain licensed professionals, require formal authorization through HCJDC programs. Public access through eCourt Kokua and HCJDC's public tools does not require special authorization.
Sealed records and juvenile records are not public. If someone had charges that were expunged through the HCJDC process at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/expungements, those records are removed from public searches. The expungement fee is $35, and processing takes about 120 days.
The Office of Information Practices guides the public on how to use UIPA to request government records in Hawaii.
Note: The Hawaii Attorney General's office oversees HCJDC and criminal records policy for the state.
