Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC) serves as the state's central repository and clearinghouse for criminal history records, maintains the statewide criminal justice information network, and provides statistical analysis of crime and justice data for the legislature and public. It administers background check programs for employment and licensing purposes and operates Hawaii's portion of the FBI's National Crime Information Center system. Accurate and timely data from HCJDC supports law enforcement, courts, and policy decisions across the state.

Anyone who has undergone a background check for employment, housing, or a professional license in Hawaii has interacted with systems HCJDC maintains. Individuals who believe their criminal history records contain errors can challenge those records through processes HCJDC administers.
