Hawaiʻi Island Police Arrest 13 Motorists for DUI Feb. 2-8

Hawaiʻi Police Department traffic units logged 13 arrests for driving under the influence islandwide during the week of Feb. 2-8, 2026, the department reported in its weekly traffic roundup dated Feb. 21. The total reflects arrests made across multiple districts on Hawaiʻi Island and represents the enforcement activity tracked for that seven-day period.

The roundup, compiled by traffic units, itemizes enforcement outcomes by district and lists the weekly totals that feed into islandwide public-safety metrics. For the Feb. 2-8 reporting window the single headline figure recorded was 13 DUI arrests; the department’s format separates those arrests from other traffic enforcement actions and provides district-by-district totals in the full report.

Traffic units carry primary responsibility for DUI enforcement on state highways and county roads, and the Feb. 2-8 count captures incidents processed by patrols assigned to Hawaiʻi Island districts. The department characterizes weekly roundups as a tool for tracking trends and allocating enforcement resources, with each district’s totals used to inform traffic-safety priorities moving forward.

The Feb. 2-8 DUI total will feed into case processing at district stations and the county prosecuting system, with arrests initiated by officers on duty during the week in question. The weekly roundup dated Feb. 21 is part of the department’s routine reporting cadence that provides residents and local officials an accounting of enforcement actions for specific seven-day periods, including DUI arrests that are counted separately from other traffic citations.

As Hawaiʻi Island leaders review islandwide traffic-safety data, the 13 arrests for DUI during Feb. 2-8 stand as the documented enforcement outcome for that week. The department’s weekly breakdowns by district will inform where traffic units concentrate patrols and public-safety outreach in subsequent reporting cycles.
