Maui County Police Blotter

The Maui County Police Blotter covers four islands: Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe. The Maui Police Department keeps the log. The Records Section at 55 Mahalani Street in Wailuku is the one stop for any arrest log request, police report, or UIPA pull. You can search the Maui County Police Blotter through the Maui County Public Records Request Portal, by fax, by mail, or in person. This page shows the fee, the wait, and the link to each official Maui County source.

Search Maui County Arrest Records

Maui County arrest records are public under the Uniform Information Practices Act, chapter 92F of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. Any record that ended in a conviction is open. A record that ended in a non-conviction or is still open is closed to the public under HRS section 846-9. Juvenile records are closed.

A Maui County Police Blotter entry starts with a booking. A full record holds the arrest date, the arrest time, the arrest place, the arresting agency, the charge, the report number, the race, the age, the sex, and the full legal name. The record also holds warrant data, bail data, court data, and custody status. The MPD redacts personal contact data, medical data, and any data tied to an open case.

To look up an arrest record, you need to send:

• Full name of the person held
• Date of birth if known
• Rough date of arrest
• Case or report number if you have one
• Your name, phone, email, and photo ID

Processing runs within 10 business days for a simple pull. A complex pull may take longer under the UIPA. Free public inspection is run at the MPD Records Section. The eCourt Kokua public access terminal at the Second Circuit Court, Hoapili Hale, 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, is also free.

Maui UIPA Fees and Rules

Fees follow the state UIPA rate set under Hawaii Administrative Rules section 2-71-19. Search time runs $2.50 per 15 minutes. Review and segregation run $5 per 15 minutes. The first $30 of search, review, and segregation fees is waived for every request. If the request serves a public interest, the waiver jumps to the first $60. That is a real break when you are pulling a long run of Maui County Police Blotter pages.

Copy fees are set by chapter 92F and HRS section 92-21. Other lawful costs include the real cost of a CD or videotape used to copy a record, plus actual postage. Personal records about yourself can often be pulled with no search fee.

An arrest warrant does not expire. It stays live until an officer serves it. A court can cancel a returned, unexecuted warrant or reissue it while the charge is pending. That means a Maui County Police Blotter hit tied to an old warrant can still close a case years later.

The OIP portal above holds chapter 92F in full. The Office of Information Practices at (808) 586-1400 is the appeal route if MPD denies a request. OIP also runs an Attorney of the Day line that answers general UIPA questions at no cost, often within 24 hours.

Maui County Crime Statistics

The Crime Prevention and Justice Assistance Division ships Maui County numbers to the FBI UCR file each year. In 2020, Maui County had a total index crime count of 2,294, down 29.3% from the year before. Violent index crimes ran 236.3. Property index crimes ran 2,057.7. The top types were larceny-theft at 1,525.3, burglary at 273.4, and motor vehicle theft at 259.

The UCR also showed 705 arrests in 2020, down from 967 in 2019. Adult arrests ran 674; juvenile arrests ran 31. About 241 arrests tied to violent index crimes; 464 tied to property index crimes. Those numbers anchor the Maui County Police Blotter in context: most pages tie to property cases, not violent ones.

The Maui County NIBRS data set updates at the state Research and Statistics Branch inside CPJA. Crime in Hawaii, the annual report, pulls the Maui number together with the other three county numbers. For a live day-of view, the MPD booking data is the right stop; for a year-long trend, the CPJA report is the right stop.

State Systems for Maui Cases

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center at 465 S. King Street, Room 102, Honolulu, holds the adult conviction file for every Maui County Police Blotter case that led to a finding of guilt. Call (808) 587-3279 for the record line. A name check at the HCJDC costs $30 by mail. A fingerprint check costs $55 in person or $35 by mail.

The eCrim web site is the online pull for the same file. Each search is $5. Each certified report is $12. The data set covers the whole Maui conviction history, but not juvenile records and not other states. The Hawaii State Judiciary Family Court handles juvenile records at (808) 954-8190.

The Hawaii Department of Public Safety holds the Maui Community Correctional Center at 600 Waiale Drive, Wailuku. MCCC holds pretrial detainees and sentenced misdemeanants from Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Federal offenders are held by the federal Bureau of Prisons, not by DPS, so a federal case does not show on the state inmate search.
