Maui County, Hawaii, has about 164,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Maui Police Department and one state agency. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at a facility of the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Circuit Court for Maui County. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Maui County Are Held
Hawaii has no county jails. A person held after an arrest in Maui County is in the custody of the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, which runs every jail and prison in the state, so one inmate lookup covers the whole state.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation lists its inmates at dcr.hawaii.gov.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Maui County
An arrest in Maui County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's inmate locator, for anyone held; the case index of the Circuit Court for Maui County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at courts.state.hi.us/legal_references/records/jims_system_availability, phone 808-539-4909).
Statewide, eCourt Kokua is the Hawaii State Judiciary's free statewide case search.
Hawaii is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the eCrim system lets anyone search adult conviction records online by name, through the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Maui County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Uniform Information Practices Act the agency must answer within 10 business days, and it may charge for search, review and copying, with the first $30 of search and review free.
