Search Wailuku Busted Mugshots
Wailuku busted mugshots come from the Maui Police Department headquarters right here in town at 55 Mahalani Street. As the county seat of Maui, Wailuku is the main hub for arrest records, booking photos, and court files on the island. The Second Circuit Court sits a few blocks away on Main Street, and the Maui Community Correctional Center holds people after they are booked. Most records are open to the public. You can search online, call the records unit, or walk into the courthouse to pull a file.
Wailuku Overview
Maui PD and Wailuku Busted Mugshots
The Maui Police Department runs its main station and records unit out of 55 Mahalani Street in Wailuku. This is the same building where people get booked, fingerprinted, and photographed after arrest. The main line is (808) 244-6400. The records section uses a separate number at (808) 244-6345. If you want a police report, a booking photo, or an arrest log, you start here. You can visit the Maui Police Department homepage at mauicounty.gov/205/Police to see hours, forms, and fee info.
Maui PD charges $5 for the first page of a report and $0.25 for each added page. You can pay in cash, by check, or with a money order. Some requests take a day or two to fill, while others can be printed on the spot. The records staff will tell you which ones need a wait. If the case is still open, parts of the file may be held back under state law. But once the case closes, most of the file is open for review.
Wailuku sits in the heart of Maui and holds most of the island's criminal justice offices. The Maui County Prosecuting Attorney works out of the same area. So does the public defender. If you need court filings that go beyond the police report, the court clerk on Main Street can help. Staff at Maui PD can point you to the right place.
Find out more at the Maui Community Correctional Center website at dps.hawaii.gov/mccc, the facility that books and holds people arrested in Wailuku and across Maui County.
MCCC holds people after booking and before trial or sentencing. Arrest logs from this site tie back to Maui PD records and court files in Wailuku.
Hawaii eCrim Search for Wailuku Mugshots
The fastest way to find criminal history for someone arrested in Wailuku is through the eCrim system. Hawaii runs this online tool through the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. A single search costs $5. A full report with the case file costs $12. You pay by card. The site gives you the name, date of birth, and a list of open and closed cases tied to that person. Go to ecrim.ehawaii.gov to start a search.
eCrim pulls data from every county in the state, so a search run in Wailuku will also show cases filed in Honolulu, Hilo, or Lihue. That is useful if you think the person may have a record outside Maui County. You do not need a case number to run a search. A full name and a close date of birth will work. If you want a certified report, you can order one through HCJDC. Name-based reports cost $30. Fingerprint-based reports run $55 for a first check, and $35 for each later check.
Note: eCrim results show convictions and open cases, but they do not include arrests that did not lead to charges. For arrest-only logs, contact Maui PD records.
You can learn more about the state system at the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center page at ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc. The site also lists all Public Access Sites across the state. A public access site lets you run a deeper search that is not on eCrim. The fee at one of these sites is $25 per session.
Second Circuit Court in Wailuku
The Second Circuit Court sits at 2145 Main Street in Wailuku. This is the main court for Maui County. It handles felonies, major civil cases, and appeals from District Court. The court phone is (808) 244-2700. The District Court branch and Family Court share the same complex. If someone got booked in Wailuku and the case moved to court, the file lives here.
You can run a name search on Hawaii cases through eCourt Kokua. This is the online case lookup run by the state. It shows case numbers, party names, charge codes, and hearing dates. Some documents are posted as PDFs. Others you have to get from the court clerk in person. Check the status page at courts.state.hi.us/legal_references/records/jims_system_availability. The main courts site lives at courts.state.hi.us.
Court copy fees are $3 for the first 30 pages. Certified copies cost more. The clerk can give you a quote before you order. If you need a full case file, ask for it by case number. The staff will pull it and let you view it at a table. You can take notes. You cannot take the file out. If you want scans or copies, the clerk will run them and charge by the page.
Some older cases are off the online system. Paper files get moved to archives after a set number of years. In that case, you file a records request with the court and wait for staff to pull the file. This can take a few days. If the case has been sealed or expunged, it will not show on eCourt Kokua at all.
