Kihei Busted Mugshots

Kihei sits on Maui's south shore. It is the county's second-largest Census-designated place, with 21,423 people at the 2020 count. The named police station sits at 2201 Piilani Highway, Kihei, Hawaii 96753, and answers the phone at 808-875-8190. Think of it as a local contact point. It is not a city department with its own booking database, since the Maui Police Department runs one countywide jurisdiction.

Here is the detail that matters most for a Kihei busted mugshots search. Someone arrested in Kihei usually gets processed elsewhere. The booking happens at the central Receiving Desk inside Wailuku Police Station, 55 Mahalani Street, not at the Kihei station itself. So the arrest spot and the booking spot can differ, and the paperwork follows the booking. For an official copy of a record, the county Records Section and the UIPA portal are the doors that actually open.

Where Kihei Busted Mugshots Appear

No official Kihei city arrest log, daily booking feed, searchable roster, or routine photo page was located. The official-first source map below separates a local contact from the system that holds the record. A photo in a public-assistance notice can be for identification or safety and should not be assumed to be a booking photo.

The MPD Communications Section identifies the central Receiving Desk. The County police page and the UIPA portal are better sources for a record than a search result with a Kihei label.

Busted in Kihei: Find a Booking

The right path depends on the question. A current police hold, a state custody result, a booking record, a court docket, and a final disposition are different points in time. The countywide Maui records hub explains each system. These steps keep the local Kihei search tied to the agency that created the record.

1. Record the incident date, exact Kihei location, person's full name, and any report, arrest, booking, or court number.
2. Review MPD News & Events for a public-assistance request, identification notice, arrest update, or correction.
3. Contact MPD Records or file a County request for the specific report, booking record, or releasable photograph. No public Kihei name search was found.
4. Use SAVIN or VINELink for state custody and notifications. A person held only in a police cellblock may not appear there.
5. Check eCourt Kōkua for the public case and later disposition. A news story or release notice is not the final result.

Spotted a face on some unofficial site? Slow down. That image is a lead, nothing more. Before you share it, check where it came from, when it ran, and whether the person is who the page claims. And never rehost the picture yourself.

Kihei MPD Records

For records, the Kihei station is not the door to knock on. It can field a local question, but reports and legal documents come from MPD's central Records Section in Wailuku. That office sits at 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, Hawaii 96793. Call 808-244-6355 or fax 808-244-6418. Hours run Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with holidays excluded. Fridays are closed until further notice.

A good records request is a narrow one. Name the Kihei event. Give a date range and location, and include the report or booking number. Say exactly which record you want. The County asks for government photo ID plus email and phone details. Fees stay modest at the start. The first 25 pages are free. Larger searches, copies, and segregation work can add charges. One more tip: ask directly whether a booking photograph exists and whether it can be released. Never assume a police report comes with a mugshot attached.

Kihei Crime Coverage

Kihei incidents get news attention when they carry local or statewide weight. Maui Now, The Maui News, and Hawaii News Now are the usual outlets. MPD itself sometimes posts a public-assistance request tied to a Kihei case. At times it includes a description or image meant to identify a suspect. Treat that as a safety notice, not a booking list or a complete count of Kihei arrests.

For wider coverage, the Maui crime-news map gathers the local paper, TV stations, Star-Advertiser, KHON2, KITV, and MauiTime. Search by place and date. Read the captions and follow any MPD or court link. Remember that stories can be corrected or updated after a person is released or a case shifts.

Kihei Station, Wailuku Booking

Kihei has an unusual layout for anyone chasing booking records. The local station gives you a nearby MPD contact. But the real intake happens at the Wailuku Receiving Desk, which processes police intake countywide. Central Records in Wailuku handles the paperwork requests. A search aimed only at a "Kihei jail" can miss the official source entirely. The county books people in Wailuku.

That split explains a common confusion. A news article names one place while the official record lists another facility. Arrest location, booking location, custody location, and court location can all differ. Keep those labels distinct. Collapsing them into one tidy "Kihei roster" claim only muddies the trail.

Kihei Busted Request Detail

Ask for one specific event, not a pile of everything. A strong request names the date, rough time, and exact location. Add the person's full name, a report or booking number, and the record type wanted. You can also ask whether MPD holds a booking photograph and whether UIPA rules let it out. Don't ask the agency to build a new roster for you.

MPD Records handles these even when the incident started near the Kihei station. The County's published process calls for a government photo ID plus email and phone details. The first 25 pages are free in the ordinary report flow. Bigger searches, copies, and segregation work can cost extra. Most reports arrive within ten business days. Those terms cover reports, though, and don't guarantee a photo's release.

Some material stays protected. Active-investigation files, juvenile details, witness information, and sealed records can be withheld or redacted. If your request gets denied, ask for the UIPA reason cited and for any segregable non-exempt parts. The Kihei station can route a question, but central Records does the actual review.

Kihei Records After Release

Custody status shifts faster than news coverage does. Someone can sit briefly at the police stage, get released, and never show up in a state-custody search. If the person moves to MCCC, SAVIN and VINELink become the useful tools. On release, the custody result may vanish. The MPD booking record and court case still live in their own systems.

Pick the right tool for each question. eCourt Kōkua shows public case activity and final outcome, not MPD's booking file. The DCR SAVIN route covers state custody and alerts, not a full Kihei arrest history. When an agency reports no responsive record, confirm the request hit the right system and save the response date.

A face in a public-assistance post helps find someone, but it is not a final status. Charges can shrink or vanish in court later. Keep the source date, verify the current agency record, and choose your words with care.

Kihei Booking to DCR Custody

When someone stays in custody past MPD intake, Maui Community Correctional Center may be the facility that matters. MCCC sits at 600 Waiale Drive in Wailuku, Hawaii 96793. Call 808-243-5101. The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation runs it. For custody status and release alerts, the Hawaii SAVIN route and VINELink both work. Neither promises a Kihei booking photo.

Timing explains a lot of confusion here. An early release can leave no DCR result. Yet a police booking record still exists. A transfer builds a state-custody entry. The original MPD record stays in Wailuku. Court dates run on their own clock. So a "not found" result never proves a Kihei arrest didn't happen.
