About This Site

Maui County Busted Mugshots is a private reference for finding the official offices and systems connected to booking records, custody status, court cases, and public-safety notices in Maui County, Hawaii. It does not host a photo gallery or claim to be a government office. The value is in keeping the police, court, corrections, and records-request paths distinct.

What This Reference Does

Hawaii public-record rules can make arrest and booking information available, but the record may live in different places. Maui Police Department creates the police booking record and operates the central Receiving Desk in Wailuku. The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation handles state custody, including Maui Community Correctional Center. The Judiciary holds court activity and dispositions. MPD Records and the County UIPA portal cover requests for records that are not posted for public search.

This site brings those official paths, terms, contacts, and access limits together in plain language. It does not copy or cache booking photos, create a live roster, or turn news images into a gallery. An arrest is an accusation, and the later court record may show a different result.


What Readers Can Find

The Maui material is organized around the actual county system rather than a generic jail directory.

  • The home record hub explains booking fields, MPD requests, UIPA limits, custody stages, SAVIN, court records, and the absence of a public daily roster.
  • Most Wanted explains MPD public-assistance notices, protected warrant checks, Crime Stoppers, and safe tip handling.
  • Crime News & Mugshots maps local outlets and shows how to move from a story to the official record.
  • Kahului, Kihei, and Wailuku pages explain why local place names route back to countywide MPD booking and Records systems.
  • Supporting information covers the private nature of the reference and the limits of third-party search tools.

What We Cannot Do

This is not connected to Maui Police Department, the County of Maui, DCR, the Judiciary, or any other Hawaii government body. The service cannot release, hold, transfer, or locate a person in custody. It cannot post bond, schedule a visit, send money, certify a record, or give legal advice.

  • It cannot confirm that a person is currently detained or released.
  • It cannot create a police report, court docket, or booking photograph.
  • It cannot guarantee that a phone number, fee, office hour, or web address has not changed.
  • It cannot decide whether MPD, DCR, a court, or a publisher must release or correct a record.

Only the originating agency, corrections office, or court can confirm current custody, charges, release, or disposition. Use the contact and source links on those official systems.


Search Partner Disclosure

Some pages include a search box supplied by a third-party provider. That provider controls its own service, pricing, data handling, and results. If a visitor follows a tool to a paid signup, the operator may receive a referral fee. That commercial relationship helps support the reference but does not make the partner an official Maui record source, and it does not change the need to verify records with MPD, DCR, or the Judiciary.
