State Launches Interactive Crime Dashboard, Expands Public Data Access

The Hawai‘i Department of the Attorney General launched an interactive crime dashboard on December 10, 2025, consolidating police level statistics from the state into an online, queryable platform. The dashboard uses data produced through Hawai‘i participation in the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program and is built on National Incident Based Reporting System standards, providing more granular incident level detail than previous statewide summaries.

At launch the dataset covers calendar years 2021 through 2024, the period for which complete NIBRS certified data are available from the four county police departments. The new online platform replaces the department’s traditional Crime in Hawaiʻi print publications and compiles complex NIBRS data into interactive displays designed for public access.

The dashboard includes information on reported crimes, arrests and clearances, victim and offender demographics, victim injuries, crime locations and times, stolen property types and values, weapon use, gang involvement and police employee statistics. Special topic sections present data on law enforcement officers killed or assaulted, hate crimes, and intimate partner and sex crimes. Officials said the system will continue to expand as more data and analysis become available.

Kaua‘i County Police leadership welcomed the launch and emphasized the tool’s potential for transparency and community engagement. The platform is intended to help residents, neighborhood boards, local policymakers and service providers identify trends and shape responses that reflect local needs on Kauai. For example, detailed location and time data can support targeted community safety efforts, while demographic breakdowns can inform culturally aware outreach and victim services.

Users may access the dashboard through the Hawaiʻi Department of the Attorney General website to run queries, download data and review special topic sections. Limitations at launch include the four year coverage window, but the department plans ongoing updates as additional NIBRS certified data are submitted by county agencies. The new resource places more timely, searchable crime information into public view, offering Kauai communities new tools for accountability and planning.
