Search Criminal Records in Kahului

Kahului criminal records are maintained through Maui County's police department, the Second Circuit Court, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. Kahului is the largest city on Maui and the commercial center of the island, and criminal records from the area go through the same county and state systems that serve all of Maui County. Whether you need a police report, a court case lookup, or a full background check, this page outlines the steps and contact information you need.

Kahului Criminal Records and Maui County Police

Kahului is patrolled by the Maui County Police Department. The department's headquarters sits in neighboring Wailuku at 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The main number is (808) 244-6400. Kahului does not have a separate police substation, so all records requests and services route through the Wailuku headquarters.

If you need a police report linked to a criminal incident in Kahului, you contact the MPD Records Section. That office is at the same Mahalani Street address. Walk-in hours for in-person requests run Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Records Section also processes requests sent by mail, fax, or through the department's online request portal. The general hours for the Records Section are Monday through Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM. Reports cost $0.25 per page. Processing typically takes within 10 business days from when the request is received.

MPD also offers fingerprinting for background check purposes. That service costs $25.00. If you need a fingerprint-based check for official or legal purposes, you can schedule that appointment through the Wailuku headquarters.

The Maui County Police Department page at mauicounty.gov/Departments/Police is the starting point for report requests, fingerprinting, and other law enforcement services serving Kahului residents.

Second Circuit Court and Kahului Criminal Cases

The Second Circuit Court handles criminal cases for Kahului and all of Maui County. The courthouse is known as Hoapili Hale and is located at 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The phone number is (808) 244-2929. This is where felony cases and more serious criminal matters are heard. The Maui District Court operates at the same address and handles lower-level criminal offenses, traffic violations, and initial appearances.

The Second Circuit Court page at courts.state.hi.us/courts/second_circuit provides contact details, court calendar information, and access to public records resources. If you are looking up a specific criminal case from Kahului, you can check that page for the right division and contact.

eCourt Kokua is the free public search tool for Hawaii court records. The search portal is at courts.state.hi.us/legal_references/records. You can search by person name or case number. The system shows charges, case status, hearing dates, and outcomes. Public access terminals are also available at the Wailuku courthouse for in-person lookups. For older cases not in the system, you would contact the clerk's office directly.

Note: eCourt Kokua gives free access to basic case information, but certified copies of court documents require a separate request and a fee paid to the clerk's office.

Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center and Kahului Records

For a statewide criminal history check that covers Kahului and the rest of Hawaii, the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is the main resource. HCJDC is the central repository for criminal history records across the state. The agency is part of the Hawaii Attorney General's office at 465 S. King Street in Honolulu. You can reach the agency at (808) 587-3279 or visit the main page at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc.

A name-based check through the eCrim system costs $5 per search online, with $12 for a certified copy. A fingerprint-based check through HCJDC runs $30 for the standard name-based version or $55 for the fingerprint version. Fingerprint checks tie results directly to a person's biometric record rather than relying on name matching alone, which reduces errors from aliases or common names.

The eCrim online system at ecrim.ehawaii.gov/ahewa lets you run a name-based check without visiting an office. You submit the search online, pay the fee, and get results that reflect the statewide criminal history database.

HCJDC also operates public access sites across the state. The list of locations is at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/public-access-sites. One public access site is available at the Maui Police Department, 55 Mahalani Street, reachable at (808) 244-6345. A printed criminal history report at that site costs $25. Forms for HCJDC services are at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/hcjdc-forms.

The HCJDC main page is the central state resource for criminal history checks in Hawaii, covering Kahului and all of Maui County through both online and in-person options.

Corrections and Incarceration Records

People arrested in Kahului on serious charges may be held at the Maui Community Correctional Center. That facility is at 600 Waiale Road, Wailuku, HI 96793. It handles pre-trial detention and short-term incarceration for Maui County. For information about inmates or facility policies, the Hawaii Department of Public Safety manages the state's correctional system. Their website at dps.hawaii.gov covers facility information, inmate locator resources, and reentry programs.

If you need records related to a sentence served or a person's correctional history, DPS is the right agency to contact. The department oversees all state correctional facilities and maintains records tied to incarceration in Hawaii.

For general criminal history that includes arrest, prosecution, and conviction data from Kahului, the HCJDC database is the most complete statewide source. Court records through eCourt Kokua add detail on the judicial side of those cases.
