Access Kalawao County 72 Hour Booking

Kalawao County 72 Hour Booking records flow through state tools and Maui Police. The county is the smallest in Hawaii, with about 88 people living on the Kalaupapa Peninsula on Molokai. Kalawao has no local police and no jail. Any arrest on the peninsula routes to Maui PD for booking and to state agencies for records. Use eCourt Kokua, eCrim, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center to find a Kalawao arrest or case file. Maui County channels fill in the rest.

Kalawao County 72 Hour Booking Overview

Kalawao County sits on the Kalaupapa Peninsula, a small stretch of land on the north shore of Molokai. The county was set apart in the 1800s as a settlement for people with Hansen's disease, also called leprosy. Today Kalawao holds around 88 residents. Most are former patients of the settlement or staff who care for the site. The peninsula is now part of Kalaupapa National Historical Park.

Because the county is so small, Kalawao has no police force of its own and no jail. It does not have a mayor or a full county council either. All the usual county roles sit with the Hawaii State Department of Health. Law enforcement services come from Maui Police. This setup shapes the Kalawao County 72 Hour Booking record path. The source of any arrest file is not in Kalaupapa itself.

The peninsula can only be reached by plane, mule trail, or boat. That layout adds a logistics step to any arrest or records pull tied to a local event. Arrests are rare and small in number, but the paper trail still goes through state systems.

Maui PD Role in 72 Hour Booking Intake

All Kalawao County 72 Hour Booking work routes through the Maui Police Department. MPD HQ sits at 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The main line is (808) 244-6400. If a person is arrested on the Kalaupapa Peninsula, they get moved to Maui for booking and short-term hold. From Wailuku, some are moved to the Maui Community Correctional Center if they stay in custody past the short 72-hour window.

The MPD Records Section handles any file pull tied to a Kalawao arrest. You can file a request by mail, by fax at (808) 244-6418, or in person Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Records Section needs a photo ID, a phone number, and an email with every request. For the online guide, see the Maui County public records request page.

MCCC sits at 600 Waiale Drive, Wailuku. Call (808) 243-5861 to check on a held person. MCCC rosters post online through the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. For alerts on custody changes, sign up free on Hawaii SAVIN. The tool runs 24 hours a day.

The page shows the state roster tool used for any Kalawao arrestee moved to MCCC. Use it to check booking date, charges, and current custody status.

eCourt Kokua for Kalawao Cases

When a Kalawao County 72 Hour Booking turns into a court case, the file shows up on eCourt Kokua. Most Kalawao cases route to the Second Circuit Court in Wailuku because Maui police handle the arrest. That means any filing sits in the Maui court index even though the event took place on Molokai.

eCourt Kokua covers traffic, District Court, Circuit Court, and Family Court. Search by case number, party name, or attorney name. The case ID has 12 characters. Example: case CR-15-1-5678 becomes 1PC151005678. You can still search without the full ID if you have just a name. Results show docket events and charge info.

Use the tool for free. You can pull certified copies at the court clerk window for a small fee. Second Circuit Court is at 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. Call 808-244-2752 for clerk help.

The eCourt Kokua page works for any case with a Kalawao tie. The search is free and runs at all hours. Use the party name search if you do not have a case number yet.

Kalaupapa Settlement Context

The Kalaupapa settlement was set up in 1866 under a state law that forced people with Hansen's disease to live apart. The law was removed in 1969, but some former patients chose to stay on the peninsula. The site is now part of Kalaupapa National Historical Park, run with the National Park Service and the state Department of Health. The peninsula is cut off from the rest of Molokai by steep sea cliffs.

Because of the small population and the remote site, arrests in Kalawao are rare. When they do happen, Maui PD flies in or boats in to handle the intake. From there, the person moves to Wailuku for booking. No city page on this site lists a settlement in Kalawao because the site is a historic settlement, not a city with a full local government.

People who want to visit the peninsula need a state permit. That rule helps protect the few people who still live there. It also shapes how police and state staff handle any incident that ends in an arrest.

UIPA Rules and Kalawao 72 Hour Booking Files

All Kalawao public records fall under HRS § 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act. See the full law on the Hawaii Revised Statutes site. Under § 92F-11, government records are open unless the law closes them. Section § 92F-13 lists the limits. Those include records that would harm personal privacy, hurt a live case, or give up the identity of a source. Juvenile arrest info never goes public.

The Office of Information Practices handles any dispute over a Kalawao 72 Hour Booking request. Read the UIPA guide for a deep look at the rules. The guide covers how to write a request letter, what fees apply, and what to do if a record is held back in error.

For state-level sheriff or intake help, see the Sheriff Division page. Sheriffs handle court security and prisoner transport, and they can step in on state sites. Some Kalawao-linked matters tie in with Sheriff work when a warrant or transport is in play.
