Kahului 72 Hour Booking Records
Kahului 72 Hour Booking records come from Maui Police, who book most arrestees from town into the cellblock at Maui Community Correctional Center in nearby Wailuku. Kahului sits next to the Maui Police headquarters, so the same records desk that serves the rest of the island also covers every stop, search, or arrest made on Kahului streets. Search booking logs, court filings, and inmate rosters through the links and steps on this page. Most data posts within hours of the arrest. Some reports need a short written request.
Kahului 72 Hour Booking Overview
Who Handles Kahului 72 Hour Booking
Kahului is the largest town on Maui and the main trade hub for the island. It does not run a city police force. All law work falls under the Maui Police Department, based a few miles away at 55 Mahalani Street in Wailuku. The HQ covers patrol, traffic, records, and custody for Kahului, Paia, Haiku, and most of central Maui. When a Kahului arrest takes place, officers move the person to the cellblock on the HQ site for processing.
The booking desk logs name, date of birth, time of arrest, charge, and booking ID. A photo and a full set of prints go on file too. Most bookings finish in under an hour unless the charge is serious. The 72 Hour Booking clock then starts. Under Hawaii law, police have 48 hours to bring charges or cut the person loose. In some cases, the hold can stretch to 72 hours if a judge signs off. During that window, the person stays at the Maui Community Correctional Center.
Records of those first 72 hours sit with the Maui PD Records Section. A short written form gets you a copy of the police report. The Records desk at the HQ takes requests in person Monday through Friday. See the Maui County public records request page for a full walkthrough of the request steps. Short calls for custody checks also work.
Kahului 72 Hour Booking Jail Intake
After an arrest in Kahului, officers drive the person to the Wailuku HQ. The cellblock sits on the same campus. Intake staff take a mugshot, fingerprints, and a quick health screen. They ask for basic info such as home address, next of kin, and any health needs. The booking sheet goes into the county records system right away. An Offender Tracking Number gets tied to the file for later jail and court use.
Arrestees held past the short intake window move to the Maui Community Correctional Center at 600 Waiale Drive in Wailuku. MCCC holds people from all of Maui, including Kahului, Kihei, Lahaina, and the smaller towns. The jail has room for about 301 people. The front desk takes custody calls at (808) 243-5861. Staff can confirm if a person is there and list the booking date. They do not read charges over the phone in most cases.
Check the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation roster to see if a Kahului arrestee is still held at MCCC. The roster pulls from the state jail system. Names post within a day of transfer from the police cellblock.
The Maui records page lists the steps and fee info for arrest reports tied to Kahului bookings. Most reports cost a small copy fee. Turnaround is a few business days.
Note: Kahului arrestees held at MCCC may be moved to Oahu Community Correctional Center if Maui runs out of bed space, so call first to confirm where the person is held.
Kahului 72 Hour Booking Court Records
After the 72 Hour Booking window, cases go to the Second Circuit Court at Hoapili Hale in Wailuku. The court sits at 2145 Main Street. Hoapili Hale hears felonies, major civil suits, and family court matters from Kahului. The District Court branch at the same site handles traffic tickets and misdemeanor cases.
Court records tied to a Kahului arrest show up on eCourt Kokua. The free tool covers traffic, district, circuit, and family court cases. Search by party name or case number. Case IDs run 12 digits with a circuit code, a type code, and padded numbers. Maui cases start with the 2 prefix since they sit in the Second Circuit.
Public terminals inside Hoapili Hale also let you pull case files. Staff at Room 106 help with lookup during the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. window Monday through Friday. The clerk can print court records for a small per-page fee. See the Hawaii Judiciary site for court dockets, forms, and fee charts.
For past Kahului conviction data, eCrim pulls from the full state criminal history file. Each search costs $5. A full record costs $12. Search by name, date of birth, or gender. Enter as much info as you have to narrow the hit. The file covers all Hawaii counties, not just Maui.
Secondary Sources for Kahului Bookings
The county runs a public records desk that takes formal UIPA requests. The Maui County records request page lists the online form and fee rules. Use it for police reports, 911 call logs, and other data tied to a Kahului booking. Response time runs ten working days for most files.
For criminal history reports at the state level, go through the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. The HCJDC records page lists both name-based and fingerprint checks. A name search costs $30 in-office. Fingerprints run $55. Both pull only convictions and pending cases. Non-conviction arrests do not show up.
The Maui inmate search tool posts daily rosters from MCCC. It shows booking date, housing unit, and scheduled release if known. Names stay on the list while the person remains in state custody.
Victims can sign up for alerts through Hawaii SAVIN. The tool sends custody updates by phone, text, or email when a Kahului arrestee moves, bails out, or gets released. Signup is free. The service runs year-round.
Kahului 72 Hour Booking Access Laws
Hawaii law sets the rules for what the county must share. The main law is HRS § 92F-11, the Uniform Information Practices Act. It says all government records are open unless the law closes them. The full text sits on the Hawaii Revised Statutes site. Maui PD and MCCC both fall under the rule. Daily arrest logs count as open records.
HRS § 846-9 splits arrest records two ways. Arrests that end in a conviction stay public. Non-conviction arrests stay private unless the person asks for their own file. That rule means a Kahului resident who was arrested but never charged can still get a copy by request. The Office of Information Practices oversees how the split works across the state.
Juvenile arrest data from Kahului never goes public. Any request that names a minor gets closed at the records desk. Sealed cases also stay out of public view. Expungement rules let people with old non-conviction arrests wipe the file from public access. See HRS § 831-3.2 for the full steps.
