Maui Police does not issue the state criminal history record check itself. The HCJDC in Honolulu is the agency of record.

Wailuku Sex Offender Registry

The registry sits under HRS Chapter 846E, Section 846E-2. A Wailuku background check often pairs an eCrim search with a sex offender registry lookup. Both data sets come from HCJDC, the state agency that keeps the main Wailuku criminal history record system in place.

Are Wailuku Records Public

Adult conviction data from a Wailuku background check is public under Hawaii's Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F. Anyone can ask. You do not need a reason. The Wailuku eCrim search is open to all.

Non-conviction arrest info is closed under HRS § 846-9. Only criminal justice agencies can see those files. Pending Wailuku cases stay private. Juvenile records are sealed under HRS § 571-84 with few exceptions. A Wailuku background check from any state channel reflects these privacy rules set in state law.

Federal and Juvenile Wailuku Records

HCJDC only shows Hawaii adult arrests and convictions. For a national record check tied to a Wailuku background check, the FBI's Identity History Summary Checks adds federal data that HCJDC cannot see.

For juvenile record checks in Wailuku, call the Hawaii State Judiciary Family Court Juvenile Records line at (808) 954-8190. Juvenile files that moved up to adult court do appear on an eCrim Wailuku background check. Most juvenile files stay sealed under HRS § 571-84 and are not part of the public record.

Under HCJDC's FAQ, Hawaii's criminal history records are supported by fingerprints of the individuals arrested. Because a subject at the time of arrest may use alias names, a fingerprint comparison with other identifying info is the only way to be sure if a person has a Wailuku record or not.

Wailuku Public Access Paths

Wailuku residents who need a walk-in Wailuku background check printout can go to the Records and Identification Section at the MPD HQ on Mahalani Street.

The Wailuku MPD office processes name-based and fingerprint-based record requests on county residents. Arrests that did not end in a guilty finding stay private under HRS § 846-9. Pending Wailuku cases stay off the public file until a final outcome is entered.
