Enfield Busted Mugshots

Enfield busted mugshots are kept by the Enfield Police Department and linked to case records in the Connecticut court system. This town sits at the top of Hartford County, right on the Massachusetts border, and has a population of just over 41,000. You can search for Enfield mugshots and arrest records through the free statewide court case lookup tool run by the Connecticut Judicial Branch. The Enfield PD at 293 Elm Street is the main source for actual booking photos taken during arrests in town. Both state and local databases are open to the public. Whether you need a recent arrest record or want to check on an older case, there are clear ways to search for busted mugshots from Enfield.

Enfield Police Arrest Records

The Enfield Police Department handles all arrest records and busted mugshots for the town. Their office is at 293 Elm Street, Enfield, CT 06082. You can call them at (860) 763-8900. Every time someone gets arrested in Enfield, the police take a booking photo and log the charges, the date and time, and the person's basic info. These records stay on file at the Enfield PD. Connecticut towns manage their own bookings. There is no shared Hartford County jail where Enfield sends its arrested persons.

To get copies of Enfield busted mugshots or arrest reports, you can visit the records division at the police station or send a written request. CGS § 1-215 says that the basic facts of an arrest are public the moment it happens. That means the person's name, the charges, and the date of the arrest are all open for anyone to see. You do not need to give a reason. Municipal agencies in Enfield can charge up to $0.50 per page for paper copies of records.

State troopers also patrol areas in and around Enfield. If Connecticut State Police made an arrest near Enfield, that record goes to the state police rather than the Enfield PD. Check the court system online if you are not sure which agency handled a case.

Enfield Court Case Search

The Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal Case Look-up is the best free resource for finding Enfield arrest records online. This statewide database covers every court in the state. Enfield cases go through the Hartford Judicial District courts, since Enfield sits in Hartford County. You search by name and the system pulls up case details, charges, court dates, and outcomes. The conviction database goes back about ten years. If a busted mugshot from Enfield led to a court filing, the case info shows up here.

You can find the Connecticut Judicial Branch criminal case lookup below. Use this portal to search for arrest records tied to Enfield and every other court in Connecticut.

The tool is free. No sign-up is needed. It works on any device at any time of day or night.

Inside the system, there are a few different search paths you can take. The convictions search lets you find guilty verdicts going back ten years. The arrest warrants search shows active warrants across all of Connecticut, and that can include people wanted in Enfield. You can also use the daily docket search to see who has a court date coming up at the Hartford courthouse. Each of these searches pulls from the same statewide database, so Enfield busted mugshots that went through the court system will be in the results.

Note: The court lookup shows charges and case details but does not display the actual booking photo from an Enfield arrest.

Enfield Inmate Search

If someone arrested in Enfield is now held in a state facility, you can look them up through the Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search. The database lists every person in state custody. Search by name or DOC number. It gets updated each day. Someone from Enfield who got sentenced to state prison time or who is being held on high bond will show up in this system.

The Connecticut DOC inmate search is shown below. Check here to see if someone arrested in Enfield is currently held in state custody.

This only covers state facilities. People who posted bail or are still in local holding at the Enfield police station will not show up here. Records for those held under the Youthful Offender Statute are also kept out of the public search results.

Are Enfield Mugshots Public Records

They are. CGS § 1-215 makes the record of any arrest in Enfield a public record from the moment of the arrest. The law covers the name, age, address, and race of the person arrested, along with the date and time and the charges filed. For Enfield warrant arrests, the warrant application and the supporting affidavit are also public. For arrests made without a warrant, the arrest report itself is open to the public.

The Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission is the agency that oversees public records access across the state, and that includes the Enfield Police Department. If the Enfield PD turns down your records request or fails to respond in a reasonable time, you can file a complaint with the FOI Commission within 30 days. There are no special forms you need. You can make your request in writing, by email, or in person at 293 Elm Street. The Enfield police must respond promptly under the state FOIA rules.

Not all records are available. CGS § 1-210(b) lists exemptions that protect juvenile cases, sealed files, active investigation details, and victim information from sexual assaults. Under CGS § 54-142a, arrest records get erased when charges are dismissed or dropped, or when a person is found not guilty. Nolled cases in Enfield are erased after 13 months. Once a record is erased, the Enfield PD takes it out of their files and it drops from the court system as well.

Enfield Record Erasure Under Clean Slate

Connecticut's Clean Slate law has a direct impact on which Enfield busted mugshots you can still find. The law allows certain old convictions to be erased from the record automatically. Misdemeanor convictions can be cleared after 7 years. Some felonies qualify after 10 years, as long as the person has not picked up new charges. Sex crimes, family violence, and gun offenses are not eligible.

This matters for Enfield searches. If you look for busted mugshots from an older Enfield case and come up with nothing, it may be because the record was erased under Clean Slate or the standard erasure rules under CGS § 54-142a. There is no way to recover an erased record in Connecticut. The law treats the whole arrest as though it never took place. Both police files and court databases get wiped.

How to Get Enfield Booking Photos

The court case lookup gives you case details, but it does not show the actual booking photo. For the mugshot itself, you go through the Enfield Police Department. File a Freedom of Information request at 293 Elm Street during business hours or send a written request by mail. Call (860) 763-8900 first to ask about the process. The State Police Bureau of Identification handles more complete criminal history checks that go beyond a single Enfield arrest. That requires fingerprinting at their Middletown office, and the cost is $75 for a state check.

Keep these things in mind when requesting Enfield busted mugshots:

• Provide the full name and arrest date if you have it
• Requests can be made in person, by mail, or by email
• Copy fees are up to $0.50 per page
• The department must respond promptly under Connecticut FOIA
• Mugshot photos may come as printed copies or digital files

Note: Recent Enfield arrest reports may not be available while the case is still active in the court system.
