Kauai Police Cell Block Lookup

Kauai Cell Block Recent Arrests

The Kauai Police Department Cell Block serves a narrow custody role after arrest. It is part of the local police process at KPD headquarters in Lihue. A person may pass through short-term holding while KPD completes processing, while bail or release is reviewed, before a court appearance, or before transfer to the state-operated jail system. Hawaii's jail function on Kauai is handled by Kauai Community Correctional Center, so the KPD Cell Block should not be treated as the county jail.

Official sources reviewed do not publish a rated capacity, security classification, housing-unit list, visitation rules, commissary account, mail address for detainees, or long-term program information for the Kauai Police Department Cell Block. That absence matters. Families looking for a recent arrestee should use KPD phone contacts and the KPD Arrest Log first, then move to KCCC, Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink, and eCourt Kokua depending on the release code and court path.

Kauai Cell Block Contacts

The Kauai Police Department contact page is the strongest official source for the cell block and detention phone numbers. It lists the KPD headquarters address, the Cell Block number, the Intake/Detention Sergeant number, dispatch, records contacts, and Crime Stoppers. These contacts are most useful when the arrest is too recent to appear in SAVIN or eCourt Kokua.

The contact page supports a focused call path: ask the cell block or detention sergeant about a very recent arrest, use dispatch for non-emergency police routing, and use records contacts when the question is a police report rather than current custody.

Look Up Kauai Cell Block Custody

There is no KPD Cell Block online roster. The practical lookup sequence starts with the arrest date and the arresting agency. If the arrest happened today or late yesterday, call the KPD Cell Block and the Intake/Detention Sergeant, then check the next KPD daily media arrest report. If a release code says the person went to court or KCCC, search eCourt Kokua and Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink next.

1. Call KPD Cell Block at (808) 241-1632 for a very recent arrest that may still be in police holding.
2. Call the Intake/Detention Sergeant at (808) 241-1637 when the question is intake status, court movement, or transfer.
3. Check the KPD Arrest Log PDF for the report date or the next morning's report if the arrest happened late.
4. If the release code shows court or KCCC transfer, check eCourt Kokua and Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink for the next record source.

For a broader custody search, the KPD route should be paired with Kauai County inmate records. SAVIN covers DCR custody and parole status, while KPD arrest logs show recent police arrest report fields. Federal criminal custody uses the BOP locator, and immigration detention uses ICE ODLS.

Kauai Arrest Log Records

The KPD Arrest Log page lists daily media arrest-report PDFs. The file names include the report date and time, and the research notes that reports are printed around 6:00 a.m. The arrest log is not a live jail roster. It is a public media record that can show the arrest event and the immediate release disposition.

The arrest log is most useful when read with its release-code legend. A name in a PDF does not prove current custody. It tells the reader where to check next, such as the cell block, court, KCCC, SAVIN, or another agency.

Kauai Cell Block Release Codes

KPD release codes give the best public map of what happened after a person was held or processed. They also keep the KPD Cell Block page accurate because the codes show that many people leave police holding quickly, go to court, or move to KCCC rather than staying in a police cell block.

Kauai Cell Block to KCCC

Transfer to KCCC is the major dividing line. KCCC is the state DCR community correctional center that serves Kauai's jail function. It houses pretrial misdemeanants, pretrial felons, sentenced misdemeanants, probation and parole violators, other jurisdiction holds, and transitional sentenced felons. If the KPD release code says ISC, the person was transferred to KCCC after court appearance through the Intake Service Center.

Once a person is in DCR custody, use Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink for custody and parole status and call KCCC for facility information. DCR materials describe SAVIN as free, anonymous, and confidential, with registration options for email, text, phone, and in-app notifications. SAVIN is still not a full booking packet. It does not replace the KPD arrest log for the arrest event or eCourt Kokua for formal charges.

Kauai Cell Block Records Requests

When the public arrest log is missing, incomplete, or not enough, KPD Records is the county-level fallback for police and arrest reports. KPD's Records Section says public and business report requests are reviewed under Hawaii's Uniform Information Practices Act. KPD asks requesters to allow 48 hours for a response due to confidentiality review.

A non-business request generally needs the requester's full name, mailing address, phone number, police report number, type of report, date of incident, and a copy of driver's license or state ID. Business and insurance requests require business letterhead and authorization from the subject involved. KPD notes that released reports may be redacted to prevent unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under HRS 92F-13, including redactions for names, home addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and phone numbers.

Kauai Court and Bail Steps

The KPD Cell Block record may point to court before it points to KCCC. DCT, CCT, and FCT mean District Court, Circuit Court, or Family Court movement. Formal charge details, hearing dates, docket entries, and dispositions are searched through eCourt Kokua after filing. For older Fifth Circuit case numbers, Hawaii Judiciary guidance may require circuit digit 5, the case type, and leading zeroes.

Bail for Kauai court matters is handled through the Lihue Courthouse. KCCC procedures say bail amount questions go to the KCCC Court Logistics Officer at (808) 241-3050 ext. 247. Payment for District, Family, or Circuit Court matters is accepted at the Fiscal Window, and traffic matters use the Traffic Window. Cash, money order, and cashier's check are the listed payment forms. After posting bail, the Bail Release Form should be taken to KCCC's Court Logistics Officer if the person is in KCCC custody.

Kauai Cell Block Limits

No official source reviewed published a KPD Cell Block capacity, visitation schedule, public mail process, commissary vendor, deposit system, housing-unit list, long-term population report, or inmate program list. That is because the facility is a short-term police holding point, not the primary jail. The absence should not be filled with generic jail rules from KCCC or from another county.

The practical result is simple. Use the KPD Cell Block and Intake/Detention Sergeant numbers for recent-arrest status, the arrest log for public daily entries, KPD Records for police-report requests, eCourt Kokua for filed court cases, and SAVIN/KCCC after transfer. For wanted-person or warrant-sweep information, KPD news releases route public tips to non-emergency dispatch, Crime Stoppers Kauai, crimestopperskauai.org, and the P3 Tips app. P3 Tips is not an inmate lookup app.
