What the Uniform Information Practices Act Requires
Under the Uniform Information Practices Act the agency must answer a request within 10 business days, and it may charge for search, review and copying, with the first $30 of search and review free. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at honolulu.gov/env/request-for-government-records-92f (page title: Request for Government Records (92F) | Department of Environmental Services).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
