Maui County Online Records Portal
Maui County runs an online records portal that lets you submit requests for arrest records and police reports without visiting in person. The portal uses the GovQA platform, which is common across many counties.
Visit the Maui County Public Records Portal to start. You will need to make an account, choose Maui Police Department as the agency, and describe the records you want. The portal lets you track request status and pull responsive documents when ready.
Under HRS Chapter 92F, the agency must reply within 10 business days. Complex requests may need extra time. Fees may apply for search time, copies, certifications, and mail. The portal is the easiest path for routine requests in Maui County recent bookings.
For arrest records that resulted in convictions, those are public under HRS § 846-9. Non-conviction info, like a recent booking that did not lead to a charge, has restricted access.

Maui County Booking Records Law
Hawaii's open records law sits in HRS Chapter 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act. Under HRS § 92F-12(a)(13), info about people held at a correctional facility must be disclosed to the public. That covers MCCC and any other state-run jail in Maui County.
Agencies must reply to a UIPA request within 10 business days. Complex requests can take more time. Some content can be redacted to protect personal privacy or active investigations. Names of victims, social security numbers, and home addresses are common redactions on a Maui County booking record.
Arrest records that lead to a conviction are kept for life under state retention rules. Arrests with no charge stay on file at least 5 years. Booking photos are kept with the matching arrest record. Fingerprint cards are held for life.
For older cases, the Hawaii State Archives can help. Researchers can also pull historical court files through the State Judiciary. Both keep records that have rolled off public view at the local level.
