Maui Police Kihei Station and Arrest Logs

The Maui Police Department runs a substation in Kihei at 2201 Main Street. The station handles calls, traffic stops, and initial booking for south Maui. More serious arrests go to the Wailuku headquarters cellblock. The main MPD line is (808) 244-6400.

MPD posts a daily arrest log at the front desk under state open access rules. The log shows the name, date of birth, arrest date, charge, and booking number. It does not show court outcomes. It does not include booking photos.

MPD sells report copies through the Records Section in Wailuku. Fees run about $3 per report. Some reports need a redaction review first. That review can take a few weeks. Victims can ask for a report copy for their own case with no fee.

Second Circuit Court Inmate Population Cases

Kihei's adult criminal cases go to the Second Circuit Court at the Hoapili Hale courthouse in Wailuku. District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic, and first appearances. Circuit Court handles felonies, appeals, and grand jury matters. The free eCourt Kokua portal lets you search both levels.

Search by name, case number, or citation. The portal returns the case caption, charges, hearing dates, and judgment. Bail amounts and release orders show too. This data feeds the Kihei inmate population roster at MCCC.

Some files are closed under HRS § 571-84. Closed items include juvenile matters, some mental health cases, and sealed orders.
