Schofield Barracks Felony Records
Schofield Barracks felony records can come from two different systems depending on who was involved in the case. Incidents involving civilians go through the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center and the First Circuit Court, the same as anywhere else in Honolulu County. Military personnel cases are handled through military authorities and are not part of the state criminal record system. If you need to search civilian felony records tied to this area, the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center and the Honolulu Police Department are your starting points. This guide covers both paths.
Schofield Barracks Overview
Schofield Barracks Felony Records: Civilian vs. Military
Schofield Barracks is a U.S. Army installation on central Oahu. Law enforcement on post is handled primarily by military police. When a civilian commits a crime on or near the installation, the Honolulu Police Department may get involved. In those cases, the civilian criminal record flows through the standard Hawaii state system: HPD handles the arrest, the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney files charges, and the First Circuit Court processes the case.
Military personnel who face felony charges are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Their cases go before military courts-martial, not state courts. Records from those proceedings are maintained by military authorities and are not part of the Hawaii state court system. You will not find them through eCourt Kokua or the HCJDC database. If you need military court-martial records, you would need to contact the Army directly or submit a request through official military channels.
For civilian felony records connected to the Schofield Barracks area, everything flows through Honolulu County. The HPD District 2 Wahiawa Station at (808) 723-8700 covers this part of central Oahu. The Wahiawa District Court handles civilian cases in the area. Felony cases get transferred to the First Circuit Court in Honolulu for trial and sentencing.
Note: If you are unsure whether a record exists in the military or state system, start with the HCJDC eCrim search. If no civilian record appears, the incident may have been handled entirely through the military justice system.
HPD and Schofield Barracks Felony Records
The Honolulu Police Department handles civilian arrests in and around Schofield Barracks. HPD maintains arrest records for incidents in the area. You can request these records directly from HPD. The main records office is at 801 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
For public access to arrest records, contact HPD at (808) 529-3191. Printouts of conviction records are available at the public access terminal for $25 per printout. You can also send a written request by email to records@honolulupd.org. Copy fees run $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 for each additional page. Bring a valid photo ID to in-person requests. Staff can search by name and provide documents on the same visit in most cases.
The Honolulu Police Department website has information on how to submit records requests. You can find department contacts, forms, and guidance on what types of records are available to the public under the Uniform Information Practices Act.
HCJDC Criminal History for Schofield Barracks
The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is the central repository for state criminal history records. It covers felony convictions and certain misdemeanor convictions for people who went through the Hawaii state court system. HCJDC maintains the eCrim system, which is the primary tool for criminal background checks in Hawaii.
eCrim searches cost $5 per name search and $12 for a full criminal history report. You can access this system through the HCJDC website. This is the right tool when you need to verify whether someone has a felony record in the state system. It covers all of Honolulu County including the Schofield Barracks area for civilian cases.
The HCJDC also operates public access terminal sites across the state where you can search conviction records in person. These terminals show conviction data only, not arrest records without conviction. The $25 printout fee applies at terminal sites.
For the legal framework behind criminal history access in Hawaii, see Hawaii Revised Statutes § 846-2.7, which governs criminal history record checks and sets out who may request them and under what circumstances.
First Circuit Court Felony Records
Felony cases from the Schofield Barracks area that go through the civilian court system are handled by the First Circuit Court in Honolulu. This court covers all of Honolulu County, including the Wahiawa and central Oahu area. The court is located at 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu.
You can search court records for free using eCourt Kokua. This is the Hawaii State Judiciary's public access system. It lets you look up case information by party name or case number. Case summaries, hearing dates, and some docket entries are available without any fee.
Go to eCourt Kokua to start a search. You will need a full or partial name to search by party. Case number searches are also supported. For certified copies of court documents, you need to contact the First Circuit Court clerk at 465 S. King Street Room 102, Honolulu, or call (808) 587-3279. Certified copies run $2.00 per page plus a $2.00 certification fee.
Note: Court records are public under Hawaii law, but certain records may be sealed by court order. Juvenile records are confidential and not available through public search tools.
Hawaii Open Records and Schofield Barracks Felony Records
Hawaii's Uniform Information Practices Act governs public access to government records in the state. The Office of Information Practices oversees the law and handles complaints about records denials. Under UIPA, most criminal court records are available to the public unless sealed by court order.
Arrest records and criminal history records have additional rules. Hawaii law limits who can access full criminal history reports. Conviction records are generally available through public terminals and the eCrim system. Non-conviction records have more restrictions. If you believe you were improperly denied access to a record, the OIP can help you file a formal complaint.
Military records are outside the scope of UIPA entirely. Federal law governs access to military records, and Hawaii's open records law does not apply to documents held by the U.S. Army.
Expungement of Felony Records in Hawaii
If you have a felony arrest or conviction from the civilian court system in Hawaii, you may be eligible to have that record expunged. Expungement removes or limits public access to the record. Not all felonies qualify. The rules depend on the charge, the outcome, and how much time has passed.
The HCJDC processes expungement applications in Hawaii. Their expungement information page explains the process and lists eligible offense categories. You can also contact the Hawaii Department of the Attorney General for more information. Forms are available on the HCJDC site.
Military court-martial convictions follow a separate process and are not handled by the state of Hawaii. If you are a service member seeking to address a military criminal record, speak with a JAG officer at the installation.
