Kahului Booking Releases

Kahului is the largest town on Maui and the main commercial and transport hub on the island. Every adult arrest made in Kahului is logged by the Maui Police Department. Kahului booking releases hold the name, age, sex, offense, report number, and release status of the person in custody. This page shows how to pull a local arrest log, how to track an inmate at the Maui jail, and how to search the court docket at the Second Circuit in Wailuku. You can use the links to reach the Maui PD Records Section and file a formal request for a report tied to a Kahului booking release.

Kahului Booking Releases at Maui PD

The Maui Police Department is the main source for Kahului booking releases. Maui PD runs the full county, but the Records Section at the Wailuku HQ handles every request from Kahului. The office is at 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The main line is (808) 244-6400. The Records Section is open Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The office stays closed on weekends and state holidays.

Kahului residents must route their report request through the same Records Section. No booking desk sits in Kahului itself. The county website at mauicounty.gov lists each division tied to the police department.

Use the site to find the right form, the Records Section fax, and the online public records portal. Every Kahului booking release tied to a closed case is on file there.

Maui PD takes walk-in requests for report copies. Bring a photo ID. Bring the report number if you have it. If not, give the date, time, and place of the arrest. Fees at Maui PD match the state rate set under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 92F. Staff will cite the fee when you file the request. The Records Section does not take phone orders for copies.

Kahului Booking Releases Logs

Maui PD does not post a daily PDF log like Honolulu PD does. To see a Kahului booking release you must file a UIPA request or a public records request through the county portal. The county runs an Online Public Records portal that lets you file from home. It routes the request to the right office and gives you a tracking number.

Note: Maui PD will not run a name search for you. You must give the date and place of the arrest so staff can pull the right file.

Second Circuit Court and Kahului Booking Releases

Every Kahului booking release that leads to a charge ends up at the Second Circuit Court. The courthouse is Hoapili Hale at 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The main line is (808) 244-2800. The court hears all criminal, civil, family, and probate cases for the three islands of Maui County: Maui, Molokai, and Lanai.

You can search the case tied to a Kahului booking release through eCourt Kokua. The system is free for basic case info. A plain copy is $3 for the first 30 pages. A certified copy is $5. See courts.state.hi.us to run a party or case number search.

The Hawaii Court Records page for Maui has a short list of the main case types the Second Circuit hears. It also links to the search portal and the forms you need to file a motion. The full state judiciary home is at courts.state.hi.us.

Walk-in kiosks at Hoapili Hale let you search the docket at no cost. Bring an ID. A clerk at the Legal Documents window will pull a paper file if you give the case number. Cases tied to a Kahului booking release often move fast. Initial appearances happen within 48 hours of arrest.

Kahului Booking Releases Custody

The Maui Community Correctional Center, or MCCC, holds all adult pretrial detainees from Kahului booking releases. The address is 600 Waiale Road, Wailuku, HI 96793. The main line is (808) 243-5861. MCCC also holds people serving short misdemeanor terms.

Custody status on any MCCC inmate shows up in the state SAVIN system at vinelink.vineapps.com. Sign up for a free alert and the system will tell you when the status changes. The SAVIN direct line is (808) 587-2550.

Longer-sentence inmates from Maui often move to a state or mainland prison under a transfer deal run by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. See dcr.hawaii.gov for the full list of facility contacts and visitation rules. If the inmate is a juvenile, custody goes to the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility on Oahu, not MCCC.

Kahului Booking Releases and Criminal History

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, or HCJDC, runs a Public Access Site at the Maui Police Department in Wailuku. Every Kahului resident can walk in and pull a criminal history printout. The fee is $25 per printout. The site shows adult conviction info only. See ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/public-access-sites for hours and ID rules.

You can also search online at ecrim.ehawaii.gov. Each unique name search is $5. A certified report is $12. The eCrim data pool is the same one behind the Public Access Site printout.

HCJDC also handles fingerprint-based checks under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 846. See ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/criminal-history-records-check for the steps. Non-conviction files and juvenile info are not public. Only a criminal justice agency can pull those.

Note: The HCJDC site holds only Hawaii data. If the person was booked out of state, the printout will not show that record.

Kahului Booking Releases Warrants

Maui PD runs a warrant check for Kahului residents through the Records Section. You can fax the request to (808) 244-6418. You can mail it. You can walk in Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Maui warrants do not expire. A warrant from 1998 is still live today if it was never cleared.

A warrant search at Maui PD pulls active county warrants. It does not pull federal warrants or out-of-state warrants. For those you need to check with the U.S. Marshals or the FBI. The county warrant list ties into each Kahului booking release once the person is caught and booked at MCCC.

Bring a photo ID for any walk-in warrant check. Staff will run the name against the county database. If a warrant hits, the officer on duty may serve it right there. Call the Records Section first at (808) 244-6400 to confirm the current process.

UIPA Requests for Kahului Records

Kahului booking releases fall under the Hawaii Uniform Information Practices Act at HRS Chapter 92F. Any person can ask for a record. You must put the request in writing. The agency must reply in 10 business days. See oip.hawaii.gov for the full rules and the model form.

The Office of Information Practices runs the Attorney of the Day line at (808) 586-1400. Free guidance on a denial or a delay. If Maui PD denies the request, the denial must cite the section of law that closes the record. You can appeal to OIP or sue in state circuit court. For records held by the Sheriff Division under the Department of Law Enforcement, send the request to law.hawaii.gov/resources/uipa-request.
