Windsor Recent Arrest Records

Recent arrests in Windsor are handled by the Windsor Police Department in Hartford County, Connecticut. Windsor has around 29,000 residents and sits just north of Hartford along the Connecticut River. All local bookings take place at the police station on Bloomfield Avenue. Windsor does not maintain a public arrest log online, so you need to go through the police department, the state court system, or the FOIA process to find recent arrest data. This guide covers each method for getting Windsor arrest records and what information you can expect to receive.

Windsor Police Department Records

The Windsor Police Department is located at 100 Bloomfield Avenue, Windsor, CT 06095. Call the non-emergency line at (860) 688-5273 for records questions. When someone is arrested in Windsor, officers at this station process the booking and write the incident report. Those documents are held by the department and become available for public request after they clear the internal review process.

Visit the Windsor police station during regular business hours with a valid photo ID to request copies. A case number speeds things up if you have one. The per-page copy cost is $0.50, which is standard across all local agencies in Connecticut. Most arrest reports in Hartford County take 7 to 15 business days to become available after the incident. Always call the Windsor non-emergency line first to confirm a report is ready before you drive to the station.

Search Windsor Arrests in Court Records

The Connecticut Judicial Branch case look-up is the best free online tool for finding Windsor arrest filings. Windsor falls under the Hartford Judicial District, so criminal cases from town go through the Hartford Superior Court. You can search by name or docket number. The results show what charges were filed, scheduled court dates, and the status of each case. There is no fee and no registration needed.

The case look-up page provides access to criminal and motor vehicle filings from Windsor and across Connecticut.

The CSP News site also posts arrest press releases from state troopers working near Windsor in Hartford County.

There can be a delay between a Windsor arrest and when the case appears in the court system. If you need same-day or next-day arrest info, calling the Windsor Police Department is more reliable than the court database. But once a case is filed, the Judicial Branch look-up gives you a detailed picture of the charges and proceedings.

Windsor Arrest Record Public Access

Connecticut law protects your right to see arrest records. Under CGS § 1-215, arrest records are public from the time of arrest. This covers every arrest made by the Windsor Police Department. The law defines the record of arrest as the name, race, and address of the person along with the date, time, place, and offense. If the arrest was by warrant, the warrant application is public too.

Windsor police must give you this information when you ask. They can redact certain things. Victim names in domestic violence cases, witness identities, and information that could damage a pending case are all subject to removal. Sealed court records are off limits entirely. But the basic facts of who was arrested, when, where, and for what cannot be hidden from you in Windsor.

If Windsor police drag their feet on a records request, you can file a formal FOIA complaint with the Connecticut FOI Commission. They have four business days to respond. Copies cost $0.50 per page, with the first $5.00 waived.

State Resources for Windsor Arrests

The DOC inmate information search is useful if someone arrested in Windsor ends up in state custody.

Connecticut State Police Troop H in Hartford covers the Windsor area. Their number is (860) 534-1000. Troop C in Tolland is the other nearby barracks at (860) 896-3200.

The SPBI in Middletown runs full criminal history checks. A state check costs $75. A federal check is $13.25. Fingerprinting costs $15. Appointments are required. SPBI is open Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM only. For less formal checks, CSP News publishes State Police arrest press releases that sometimes mention Windsor incidents.

Note: Under CGS § 54-142a, older criminal records in Connecticut may be automatically erased, so some past Windsor arrests could be missing from search results.

Tips for Windsor Arrest Record Searches

Bring a case number when visiting the Windsor police station. It is the fastest way to pull up a specific report. If you do not have a case number, give the date and approximate time of the incident along with the name of the person involved. That usually works too, but it takes longer for the staff to locate the file.

Payment methods vary by department. Most police stations in Hartford County accept cash, check, or money order for copies. Some do not take credit cards. Ask when you call ahead to check if the report is ready. Also keep in mind that juvenile arrest records are not available from the Windsor Police Department. Those are sealed and only accessible through Juvenile Court.
