How to Access City Arrest Records

Each city in Connecticut maintains arrest records through its police department. Under Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act and C.G.S. § 1-215, these records are generally available to the public. Most departments accept requests in person, by mail, or through online portals.

When requesting arrest records, you may need to provide the date, time, and location of the incident, as well as the names of individuals involved. Some records may be exempt from disclosure if they are part of an ongoing investigation or contain sensitive information.
