Warrant Law and Rules for Makakilo
Makakilo warrant records follow the rules in Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 803. Section 803-1 defines an arrest warrant as a written order from a judge to bring a named subject before the court on a charge. Section 803-31 sets the form and content for a search warrant. Section 803-36 says a search warrant must be served within 10 days of issue. Section 803-33.5 allows for electronic warrants, which the First Circuit now uses across all arrest, search, and bench warrant types.
HPD policy on warrants bars service between 2200 and 0700 hours on closed premises unless there is legal cause. All warrants must be confirmed through the Communications Division before an arrest. Officers must also verify the subject against the warrant before they make contact. See the HPD warrants policy page for the full rule set.
Under HRS Chapter 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act, an arrest record that led to a conviction is public. An arrest that did not end in a conviction stays private. This rule shapes what a third party can see on a Makakilo warrant record and is the key law that governs HCJDC reports.

Note: A real HPD officer will never call a Makakilo resident and ask for gift card or wire payment to clear a warrant. Any such call is a scam.
