Wailuku Overview
Wailuku as County Seat
As the seat of Maui County, Wailuku is home to the main offices that handle local criminal work. The Maui Police Department main building, the Second Circuit Court, and the Maui County Prosecuting Attorney's Office all sit within town. The Maui Community Correctional Center is a short drive away on Waiale Drive. Most Maui County arrest records, not only Wailuku's, flow through these same offices.
Wailuku residents can walk from one office to another for most requests. The Maui Police Department is at 55 Mahalani Street. The Second Circuit Court is at 2145 Main Street. The Prosecuting Attorney is at 150 South High Street. Each building keeps its own records, so you may need more than one stop for a full case file.
Maui PD Headquarters and Wailuku Arrest Records
The Maui Police Department headquarters at 55 Mahalani Street is the central hub for all MPD work, Wailuku included. The main phone line is (808) 244-6400. The Records Section here keeps arrest reports, booking info, and investigative files for Wailuku and the rest of Maui County.
To request a Wailuku arrest records copy, visit the Records Section in person, mail a written request to the same address, or call ahead. A photo ID is needed for walk-ins. A small fee applies for each page. Some records may be redacted to protect juveniles or ongoing investigations. Final case outcomes may need a separate request to the Second Circuit Court.
The MPD charging-to-court process for a Wailuku arrest is simple. A patrol officer makes the arrest, brings the person to MPD headquarters for booking, and files the paperwork. If a judge sets bail above a posting amount, the person goes to MCCC. The Prosecuting Attorney reviews the file and files charges in court.
The state Department of Law Enforcement page has sample UIPA request language for Wailuku arrest records.

The MCCC site lists visit rules, inmate mail policy, and more on Wailuku arrest records tied to local custody.
Note: MCCC is the only jail on Maui, so most Wailuku arrest records that lead to pre-trial holding route through this facility.
Maui County Prosecuting Attorney
The Maui County Department of the Prosecuting Attorney is at 150 South High Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The main phone line is (808) 270-7777. The office reviews each arrest file from MPD, then decides whether to file charges and in what court.
For Wailuku arrest records that lead to charges, the prosecutor builds the case, runs pre-trial hearings, and argues at trial. Some non-conviction outcomes allow a later expungement. A felony conviction stays on the HCJDC record. The prosecutor's office does not provide arrest reports to the public. For those, use MPD Records.

Basic arrest facts must be shared under HRS 92F-12.
Section 92F-22 gives some leeway for agencies to withhold parts of an open investigation file. Once a case is closed, more of the file may be released. For a Wailuku felony that ended without a conviction, check the HCJDC expungement program to see if the arrest may be erased from the state record.
