Kahului Overview
Maui Police Department and Kahului Arrest Records
The Maui Police Department is the main law enforcement office for Kahului. MPD headquarters is at 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793, a short drive from Kahului. The main phone line is (808) 244-6400. Kahului does not have its own full station house, so local calls route through MPD dispatch. Patrol teams run shifts across Kahului and nearby Maui County towns.
The Records Section in Wailuku keeps arrest reports, booking info, and investigative files for Maui County. Kahului arrest records are part of that file. To request a report, visit the Records Section in person, mail a written request to the same address, or call ahead to check on a file. A photo ID is needed for in-person pickups. The office is open during business hours. For a released report, expect a fee for each page.
Most Kahului arrests are booked at MPD headquarters, then moved to MCCC for holding if a judge sets bail above a posting amount. The charging decision rests with the Maui County Prosecuting Attorney at 150 South High Street, (808) 270-7777.
Note: Maui Police Department serves Kahului from the Wailuku headquarters, and all police report requests for Kahului arrest records route through that office.

Send the UIPA request to the agency that holds the record. For police reports, mail the Maui PD Records Section in Wailuku. For court files, contact the Second Circuit. For criminal history, mail HCJDC. For state sheriff records, mail the Department of Law Enforcement. Under UIPA, an agency must answer within 10 working days. A 20-working-day extension is allowed. Basic arrest facts must be shared under HRS 92F-12. Section 92F-22 lets agencies withhold some investigation details while a case is open.
A non-conviction arrest may be erased through the HCJDC expungement program. The process takes 120 days. Fees are $35 for a first request or $50 after. See HRS 831-3.2 for the law. The attorney general or a deputy issues the order. Once the order is signed, the arrest is placed in a confidential file. It will not show on eCrim or on an HCJDC printout.
