Attorney General Russell A. Suzuki announced today that the
national Web Marketing Association awarded the Best Information
Services Mobile Application of 2014 to the Hawaii Criminal Justice
Data Center (HCJDC), a division of the Department of the Attorney
General for its “Hawaii Sex Offender Search” mobile app in its
annual MobileWebAwards competition.
In January, HCJDC partnered with Hawaii Information Consortium,
LLC (HIC) to create and release Hawaii Sex Offender Search to the
Android and Apple App Stores. The mobile app allows users to locate
the residence and business addresses of sex offenders and other
covered offenders registered with the State of Hawaii, as well as
view those offenders that reside or work near the user’s current
location. The mobile app also provides users with a photograph of
the offender and a list of the crime or crimes for which he or she
has been convicted.
“The combined efforts of HCJDC and HIC have a direct and
immediate impact on the safety and well-being of Hawaii’s
residents,” said General Suzuki. “We are very proud of their
efforts and their commitment to fulfilling their mission of
ensuring public access to important information.”
Hawaii Sex Offender Search is available for Apple and Android
smartphones and mobile devices. Users can access this free
application by downloading the app through the Apple or Android App
stores. Users without a mobile device can view an online directory
of Hawaii registered sex offenders and other covered offenders at
http://sexoffender.ehawaii.gov. Both applications were created in
partnership with HIC.
Chapter 846E, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), mandates that the
HCJDC maintain a central repository of covered offenders in the
State of Hawaii. A covered offender is a sex offender or an
offender against minors, as defined in Chapter 846E, HRS. Public
access to this information is based solely on the fact of each
offender's criminal conviction and is not based on an estimate of
the offender's level of dangerousness.
