South Windsor Police Mugshot Records

The South Windsor Police Department is at 151 Sand Hill Rd, South Windsor, CT 06074. You can reach them at (860) 644-2551. This is where all South Windsor busted mugshots and booking records are stored.

Requesting copies of South Windsor arrest records is a simple process. You can go to the station in person during business hours or submit a written request. The standard copy fee is $0.50 per page, which matches the state rate for municipal agencies. Under CGS § 1-215, the basic facts of any arrest in South Windsor are public from the time it happens. That means the name, address, charges, and date are all available to anyone who asks. You do not need to give a reason for wanting the records.

South Windsor is a quieter town compared to Hartford next door. But arrests still happen on a regular basis, and the PD keeps records of every booking that goes through their station.

South Windsor Court Case Lookup

The Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal Case Look-up is the best free tool for searching South Windsor busted mugshots that made it into the court system. South Windsor falls under the Hartford Judicial District, so all criminal cases from town are processed through the Hartford courts. You search by defendant name and can find charges, court dates, case status, and outcomes. The system holds roughly ten years of conviction data. It also shows pending cases that have not been resolved yet. No account or login is needed. Just type in the name and hit search.

The Connecticut Judicial Branch criminal case lookup is shown below. South Windsor busted mugshots that lead to charges appear in this system under the Hartford Judicial District.

You can run a search at any time from any device. The tool is available around the clock.

Beyond the main case search, there are two more focused tools worth knowing about. The convictions search filters down to cases that ended with a guilty finding. This is helpful when you already know the person was convicted and just need the details from a South Windsor arrest. The arrest warrants search shows active warrants across all of Connecticut, which can include anyone wanted in South Windsor. Both tools pull from the same statewide database.

Note: The court system shows case records and charges but does not display actual booking photos from South Windsor arrests.

South Windsor Inmate Records

The Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search tracks people who are currently held in state custody. If someone arrested in South Windsor gets sent to a state facility, they will show up in this database. You can search by name or by DOC number. The system updates each day. It lists current location, booking details, and custody status for every person in the state system.

The DOC inmate search tool is shown below. People arrested in South Windsor who are transferred to state custody can be found here with their booking info and facility location.

Not every person arrested in South Windsor ends up in state custody. People released on bail or on a promise to appear are not in this system. Juveniles and people held under the Youthful Offender Statute are also excluded. For someone in local holding at the South Windsor PD, the best option is to call (860) 644-2551 and ask about their status directly.

Are South Windsor Arrest Records Public

Yes. South Windsor arrest records are public under Connecticut law. CGS § 1-215 makes the record of any arrest a public document from the moment it takes place. The public portion includes the person's name, address, race, date of arrest, time, and charges filed. For warrant arrests, the warrant application and affidavit become public too. For warrantless arrests in South Windsor, the arrest report itself is the public record. Anyone can ask for this information. There is no special form to fill out. You can write a letter, send an email, or walk into the station at 151 Sand Hill Rd.

If the South Windsor Police Department denies a records request or takes too long to respond, you have options. The Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission handles complaints about public records access across the state. You can file a complaint within 30 days. The FOI Commission is at 165 Capitol Avenue, Suite 1100, Hartford. Their number is (860) 566-5682. They have the power to order the South Windsor PD to release records if the request was valid under the law.

Some records are exempt. CGS § 1-210(b) protects juvenile records, sealed cases, active investigation files, and sexual assault victim information from public release. These exemptions apply to the South Windsor PD just like every other agency in Connecticut.

South Windsor Busted Mugshots and Record Erasure

Not all South Windsor busted mugshots stay in the system forever. Connecticut has laws that require erasure of certain arrest records. Under CGS § 54-142a, records are erased when charges get dismissed, when the state enters a nolle (after 13 months), or when a person is found not guilty. Once erased, the South Windsor PD removes the records from their files, and the court system deletes them too. The law treats an erased arrest as if it never occurred. You will not find it in any public database after that point.

The Clean Slate law adds another path to erasure. Certain misdemeanor convictions from South Windsor qualify for automatic erasure after 7 years if the person has no new offenses. Some felonies can also be erased after 10 years under the same program. However, sex crimes, family violence offenses, and firearms charges are excluded from Clean Slate. When a South Windsor record gets erased through either method, the mugshot, arrest report, and all related files are permanently removed from both the police and court databases.

Note: Erasure is automatic for qualifying cases under Clean Slate, but older cases dismissed before the law took effect may need a petition to the court.

South Windsor Criminal History Search

For a thorough check that goes beyond just South Windsor, the State Police Bureau of Identification maintains the central criminal record database for all of Connecticut. Under CGS § 29-11, the SPBI keeps a file on every person age 16 and older who has been charged with a crime in the state. That includes South Windsor and every other town. This is the most complete way to pull someone's full arrest history.

Getting a check through the SPBI requires a fingerprinting appointment at their office in Middletown. The fees break down as follows:

• $15 for fingerprinting
• $75 for a Connecticut state criminal history check
• $13.25 for a federal criminal history check
• Each fee is paid separately in exact change
• Accepted payments are cash, check, or money order

You need to bring your confirmation page, pre-enrollment documents, and a valid government-issued ID. The SPBI check picks up records that may not show up in the free court case lookup, so it gives a fuller picture than searching just for South Windsor busted mugshots online. Walk-ins are not accepted at the Middletown office. You must schedule an appointment ahead of time.
