Maui County Arrest History
Maui County has a county police department, not a county sheriff’s office that runs a jail. MPD officers create most local arrest and incident records. Other authorized agencies can also make arrests, so the arresting agency named in a record matters. MPD Booking & Receiving handles its intake trail. If custody continues, Hawaiʻi Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation staff create a separate record at Maui Community Correctional Center. Prosecutors then decide whether to file charges, and the Hawaiʻi Judiciary creates a case only after that filing.
An arrest history is not one public document. The police report describes the event. Booking data describes intake. A custody service shows present status. A docket shows filed allegations and later outcomes. HCJDC links arrest cycles and dispositions by identity, but its public eCrim product shows adult conviction information. Pending and non-conviction arrest data are confidential through that public product.
No Maui County Booking Log
No official Maui County daily booking log, public mugshot gallery, or government-hosted inmate roster was found in the research. That absence changes the lookup path. Start with direct phone and custody channels, then use the court and public-record request systems. A missing web result proves little, especially during the time between an MPD intake, transfer to MCCC, and filing by a prosecutor.
MPD’s 24-hour nonemergency line is (808) 244-6400. Booking & Receiving is (808) 244-6407. For current DCR custody guidance, call MCCC at (808) 243-5101. These numbers serve different tasks. The nonemergency line is not a substitute for 911 when safety is at risk, and a custody response is not a finding of guilt.
Looking Up Maui County Arrests
Use identifiers if they are known. A full name helps, but an arrest number, report number, OTN, SID, case ID, or exact incident facts can separate similar names. Work from the newest status toward the lasting outcome. Each official channel answers a narrower question.
- Call MPD Booking & Receiving to ask whether a person entered MPD processing after a recent event.
- Search Hawaiʻi SAVIN/VINELink or call MCCC to check current DCR custody or parole status.
- Search eCourt Kōkua by party, Arrest Number, OTN, SID, or case ID to see whether prosecutors filed a court case.
- Request the MPD report through GovQA, mail, or fax, giving the report number or date, time, and location plus required identification.
- Use eCrim later for a public adult conviction abstract, or HCJDC’s subject-review channel when reviewing one’s own fuller repository record.
If a case appears, read each count through disposition. The Maui County criminal court case search explains the statewide docket fields and clerk fallback.
Maui Arrest Requests Through GovQA
Maui County’s GovQA portal is the preferred formal UIPA request channel. Select Submit a Request, sign in or create an account, choose the request type, complete the contact and request details, attach relevant material, and submit. The account lets a requester track status and agency updates.
GovQA is useful when no booking page exists and the releasable MPD record must be requested from its custodian.
Mail and fax remain available. Send requests to MPD Records Section, 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793, or fax (808) 244-6418. Include a legible government photo ID, email, phone, and either the report number or the incident’s date, time, and location. An authorized representative needs signed authorization and the requester’s ID. MPD says most reports arrive within ten business days and prefers electronic return.
Inside a Maui County Arrest Record
Agency records may contain more fields than a public copy can disclose. The police record focuses on the event and alleged offense. Booking adds identity checks and custody facts. DCR custody data follows detention and transfer. Victim details, juvenile information, medical or security data, personal identifiers, and active investigative facts may be redacted under Hawaiʻi law.
| Report or arrest number | The agency key used to locate the event record. |
|---|---|
| Date, time, and place | When and where the arrest or reported incident occurred. |
| Arresting agency | MPD or another authorized agency that created the arrest entry. |
| Alleged charges | Counts recorded at arrest, which can differ from charges later filed in court. |
| Booking identifiers | SID, OTN, fingerprints, and other identity-linked intake data where applicable. |
| Custody and bond | Received, transfer, release, or bond events available from the relevant agency or court. |
| Booking photo | May exist in agency records, but Maui County offers no verified public mugshot gallery. |
MPD Arrest Records Counter
The official MPD Police Reports page sets the request rules, identity requirements, fees, and Records Section contacts.
The MPD source should control current details when an older reproduction form conflicts with the web instructions.
MPD Records Section
55 Mahalani Street
Wailuku, HI 96793
(808) 244-6355
Fax: (808) 244-6418
A qualified requester includes an involved victim, offender, driver, vehicle owner, pedestrian, or owner of damaged or stolen property. Uninvolved or anonymous requesters receive redacted material. Reports under 25 pages have no stated copy fee. Voluminous or multiple copies may cost $0.25 per page and $5 per CD-R, while search and segregation costs may apply under agency rules.
Maui Custody Through SAVIN
Hawaiʻi SAVIN and VINELink provide free, anonymous custody and parole lookup. Users may also call 1-877-846-3444, use TTY at 1-866-847-1298, or use the official VINELink app. Optional alerts can arrive by email, text, telephone, or app. DCR warns that custody data can change and should not be the only source relied upon.
MCCC is a state facility, not a Maui County sheriff jail. It holds men and women awaiting adjudication or serving jail sentences, plus some people returning to Maui through corrections or parole programs. Its main number is (808) 243-5101, and the information and visitation line is (808) 243-5861. Communications and deposit services do not provide a historic booking archive.
Booking Logs and Recent Arrests
Because Maui County does not publish a verified daily booking log, recent arrest research depends on timing. An event may be known to MPD before a person reaches MCCC. A custody result may appear before prosecutors file a court case. eCourt Kōkua then becomes useful when a case is opened. eCrim comes later because its public product is limited to adult conviction information.
Absence from SAVIN does not prove that no arrest occurred. A person may have been released, may still be in police processing, or may never have entered DCR custody. Likewise, absence from eCourt Kōkua may mean no charge was filed yet, the name or identifier differs, or the matter is not public. Requesting the MPD record provides the most direct route to releasable details about the event itself.
How Maui Arrest Data Travels
An MPD officer creates the event or arrest report. A custodial intake adds a photo, fingerprints, identifiers, alleged charges, and custody information. Fingerprints and arrest data flow into CJIS-Hawaiʻi and AFIS at HCJDC. Prosecutors make an independent filing choice. The court then builds a case docket with filed charges, bail, hearings, disposition, and sentence. Final dispositions should return to HCJDC and attach to the arrest cycle.
Record flow: MPD Event › Booking or MCCC Custody › Prosecutor Review › Second Circuit Case › HCJDC Disposition
Reporting lag, old formats, spelling variants, or missing dispositions can break that chain. Comparing the police, custody, court, and repository records is the best way to spot an error in one’s own history.
Maui County Arrest Contact Points
MPD Records in Wailuku is the countywide request counter, but district stations can help identify the correct event and agency contact. Kīhei Police Station is at 2201 Piʻilani Highway, (808) 875-8190. Hana is at 35 Hana Highway, (808) 248-8311. Lahaina is at 1850 Honoapiʻilani Highway, (808) 661-4441. Lānaʻi is at 855 Fraser Avenue, (808) 565-6428. Molokaʻi is at 110 Ainoa Street, (808) 553-5355.
Do not use a station call as a substitute for the written record. Note the report number and the custodian named by staff, then send a focused request. For a bench warrant tied to a known case, check eCourt Kōkua and call the relevant District or Circuit clerk. Maui County has no verified public active-warrant name list.
Arrests Are Not Convictions
An arrest records an allegation and a custody event. It does not decide guilt. The prosecutor may file different counts or decline prosecution. A court can dismiss a count, acquit a defendant, accept a plea, or enter a conviction after trial. The final disposition must be read count by count because one case can have different results for different charges.
| Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|
| Created by MPD or another arresting agency, with booking data added by intake staff | Created by the court’s judgment and reported to HCJDC |
| Shows that an arrest or booking event was recorded | Shows a finding or plea of guilt on a specific count |
| Held by MPD, DCR/MCCC, and identity-linked repository systems | Shown in the court file and public adult-conviction product when eligible |
| May end in release, no filing, dismissal, or acquittal | Leads to sentence and may later involve appeal, sealing, or limited relief |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and some bookings never lead to a filed charge or conviction.
