Maui Police Department

Had my laptop stolen. Called the police said nothing they can do. Did there job for them by locating it at a pawn shop. Then had it taken by the police for evidence so that the pawn shop owner could get his money back. Last time i checked its illegal to buy stolen property. Im the victim and yet you protect the pawn shop owner. Tried getting it back from them and was given the run around. Was told the prosecutors office has to release then called them and was told the police have to release it and so on.... Never got a call back or anything. Bottom line they all crooks!!!

I needed to call the police department (non emergency line)2 times recently and have been completely shocked at the responder! I don't know why they are so rude, she made me want to hang up, i'm very calm and informative but she was downright aggressive and actually mean. something needs to change~ the officers are always helpful and respectable.

Tourist: Watch out when leaving the airport. They watch for tourist trying to figure out where they are going while leaving the airport, and when you go over the speed limit, they will pull you over. Of course the speed limit is set too low so that they will get you. Saw 3 police car traps within 5 miles of airport. Done with Maui.

Incredibly professional organization. Met with Terry at the headquarters who was very kind and courteous to out of state visitors.

It's unfortunate to have to write this about our Police Department on Maui. Specifically, the dispatchers. For the entire time that I've lived here, 40+ years & over 2/3 of my life, I do my best never to call the dispatch because they are without fail always rude and condescending. I've had friends who have taken a job there (because they're always hiring), and here's how it goes:nnThe dispatch department is always short of people and looking to hire new people. The dispatchers currently there work tons of overtime & complain about how overworked they are.However, when new hires come in they get treated so badly by the existing dispatchers that they quit.... & the existing poor overworked (sarc) dispatchers continue to complain about all their overtime, intimidaten& drive away new hires, & so the cycle continues. They are always shorthanded and there's a simple explanation why, and it's quite a wonder that the management there does not recognize and fix the problem.nnMeanwhile, if you're a law-abiding citizen who calls to report information, expect to be treated extremely rudely and interrogated as if you are a criminal.
