Access Glastonbury Busted Mugshots
Glastonbury busted mugshots are maintained by the Glastonbury Police Department and can also be found through the Connecticut court system. Located in Hartford County with a population of about 35,500, Glastonbury has its own police force that handles all local arrests. You can search for mugshots and arrest records for free through the Connecticut Judicial Branch case lookup, or contact the Glastonbury PD to request booking photos directly. The police department at 2108 Main Street holds arrest logs, mugshot images, and incident reports. Court records from Glastonbury cases also show up in the free statewide database that the Judicial Branch makes available to the public.
Glastonbury Quick Facts
Glastonbury Police Arrest Records
The Glastonbury Police Department is the main custodian of busted mugshots for the town. Their station is at 2108 Main Street, Glastonbury, CT 06033. The main number is (860) 633-8301. When an arrest happens in Glastonbury, the police take a booking photo and log the charges, the date and time, and the person's details. All of that info stays with the Glastonbury PD on file. Connecticut does not run county jails the way many other states do, so the Glastonbury police handle their own bookings at the Main Street station.
Glastonbury sits just south of Hartford along the Connecticut River. Despite being a smaller town, the police department processes its share of arrests each year. Getting copies of Glastonbury arrest records is straightforward. You can visit the station during normal business hours or put your request in writing. Under CGS § 1-215, the basic facts of an arrest are public from the moment the arrest takes place. Anyone can ask for this info without giving a reason.
Copy fees for Glastonbury records follow the state rate. Municipal agencies in Connecticut can charge up to $0.50 per page.
Glastonbury Court Case Search
The Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal Case Look-up is a free tool that covers every court in the state. Cases from Glastonbury arrests go through the Hartford Judicial District. You can search by defendant name to find case details, charges, court dates, and outcomes. The system holds about ten years of conviction data. Pending cases and active warrants are also searchable. No account or fee is needed to use this tool.
The Connecticut Judicial Branch criminal case lookup is shown below. Glastonbury busted mugshots that lead to criminal charges appear in this system through the Hartford Judicial District courts.
This search works from any device and is available around the clock.
The system offers several search paths. The arrest warrants search shows active warrants across the whole state, which can include people wanted in Glastonbury. The convictions search pulls up cases from the past decade that ended with a guilty verdict. Both tools use the same database that tracks all Glastonbury busted mugshots entering the court system.
Note: The court case lookup shows case details and charges but does not display the actual booking photo from a Glastonbury arrest.
Glastonbury Inmate Search
The Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search shows people currently in state custody. If someone arrested in Glastonbury is being held on bond or serving time at a state facility, they will appear in this database. You can search by name or DOC number. The data updates daily and shows booking details along with current custody status for inmates across all Connecticut facilities.
The Connecticut DOC inmate search tool is shown below. Use it to check if someone arrested in Glastonbury is currently held in state custody.
Not everyone arrested in Glastonbury ends up in the DOC system. People who posted bail or were released on a promise to appear will not show up. Records for anyone under the Youthful Offender Statute are also left out. If you need to check on someone in local holding at the Glastonbury PD, call (860) 633-8301.
Are Glastonbury Mugshots Public
Yes. Arrest records in Glastonbury are public under Connecticut law. CGS § 1-215 makes the record of any arrest a public document from the time of the arrest. This covers the name, address, date and time, and the charges filed against the person. For warrant arrests in Glastonbury, the warrant application and affidavit are also public records. For arrests made without a warrant, the arrest report is the document that becomes public.
The Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission enforces public records access for all agencies in the state. That includes the Glastonbury PD. If the department turns down your records request or does not respond in a timely way, you can file a complaint with the FOI Commission within 30 days. Making a request is simple. There are no special forms. You can write a letter, send an email, or go to 2108 Main Street in person. Under Connecticut FOIA, the Glastonbury PD must respond promptly. Municipal agencies charge up to $0.50 per page for copies of Glastonbury busted mugshots and other public records.
Some records are restricted. Under CGS § 1-210(b), exemptions protect juvenile records, sealed cases, active investigation files, and victim info from sexual assaults. These same exemptions apply in Glastonbury as they do across Connecticut.
Glastonbury Record Erasure
Connecticut has clear rules about when arrest records get removed. Under CGS § 54-142a, Glastonbury arrest records are erased when charges are dismissed, dropped, or when a person is found not guilty. If the state enters a nolle on a Glastonbury case, those records are erased after 13 months. This applies to both the police files at the Glastonbury PD and the court records in the state system. Once a record is erased, it is completely gone from all databases.
The Clean Slate law gives people another way to have old records erased. Certain misdemeanor convictions qualify for erasure after 7 years. Some felonies can be erased after 10 years if the person has no new offenses. Sex crimes, family violence, and gun charges do not qualify. When a Glastonbury record gets erased through Clean Slate or the standard rules, the law treats the arrest as if it never took place. You will not find it through any public search, and the Glastonbury police remove it from their files too.
Getting Glastonbury Booking Photos
The court case lookup is useful for finding case details but does not include actual mugshot photos. If you want copies of Glastonbury busted mugshots, you go through the Glastonbury Police Department directly. Their records office at 2108 Main Street handles these requests. Here is the basic process:
- Provide the full name and an approximate date of arrest
- Submit a written FOIA request in person, by mail, or by email
- The Glastonbury PD must respond promptly under state law
- Standard copy fees are up to $0.50 per page
- Mugshot photos may come as printed copies or digital files
For a comprehensive criminal history check that covers all of Connecticut, not just Glastonbury, the State Police Bureau of Identification handles statewide checks. This requires a fingerprinting appointment at their Middletown office. Fees are $75 for a state check and $13.25 for a federal check. It is the most complete way to pull all records linked to a person across Connecticut, not just arrests from Glastonbury.
Note: Glastonbury arrest reports may not be available immediately if the case is still going through court proceedings.
