Trumbull Busted Mugshots

Trumbull busted mugshots are kept by the Trumbull Police Department and can be found through the state court system as well. With about 38,000 residents, Trumbull sits in Fairfield County and is served by its own local police force that handles all arrests in town. You can look up mugshots and arrest records for free using the Connecticut Judicial Branch case lookup tool, or you can contact the Trumbull PD directly for booking photos. The police department at 158 Edison Road keeps all arrest logs, mugshot images, and incident reports from cases within Trumbull. Court records from Trumbull arrests are also in the statewide database that the Judicial Branch runs at no cost to the public.

Trumbull Police Arrest Records

The Trumbull Police Department is the main source for busted mugshots in town. They work out of 158 Edison Road, Trumbull, CT 06611. The phone number is (203) 261-3665. When someone gets arrested in Trumbull, the police take a booking photo and log the charges, date and time, and personal details. All of that info stays with the Trumbull PD. Connecticut does not use county jails the way most states do, so the Trumbull Police Department handles its own bookings instead of sending people to a shared Fairfield County lockup.

To get copies of Trumbull arrest records, you can go to the station on Edison Road during business hours. You can also put your request in writing and submit it under the Connecticut FOIA. Under CGS § 1-215, the basic facts of an arrest are public from the moment it happens. That means anyone can ask for the name, address, charges, and date of a Trumbull arrest without having to give a reason. Municipal agencies in Connecticut can charge up to $0.50 per page for copies, and the Trumbull PD follows that rate.

State police patrol parts of Trumbull as well. If a state trooper handles an arrest near Trumbull, that record goes to the Connecticut State Police rather than the Trumbull PD. Use the court case lookup if you are not sure which agency made the arrest.

Trumbull Court Case Search

The Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal Case Look-up is a free tool that covers all courts in the state. Trumbull cases go through the Bridgeport Judicial District. You can search by defendant name to pull up case details, charges, court dates, and case outcomes. The system holds about ten years of conviction data. Pending cases and active warrants also show up. No account is needed and there is no fee.

The Connecticut Judicial Branch criminal case lookup is shown below. Trumbull busted mugshots that lead to court filings appear through this search tool.

This search is free and works from any device at any time of day.

There are a few different ways to search within the system. The arrest warrants search shows active warrants statewide, and that includes anyone wanted in Trumbull. The convictions search goes back a full decade, letting you look up past cases tied to Trumbull arrests. Both tools pull from the same database. If someone was arrested in Trumbull and the case went through the courts, these tools should show what happened.

Note: The court case lookup shows charges and case outcomes but does not display the actual booking photo from a Trumbull arrest.

Trumbull Inmate Search

The Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search is a separate database that shows people currently in state custody. If someone arrested in Trumbull is being held on bond or serving a sentence, they may show up here. You can search by name or DOC number. The data updates daily.

The Connecticut DOC inmate search tool is shown below. Use it to check if someone arrested in Trumbull is currently held at a state facility.

Not everyone arrested in Trumbull ends up in the DOC system. People who post bail or get released on a promise to appear will not show up in this database. Records for anyone under the Youthful Offender Statute are also left out of the results. If you need to check on someone in local holding at the Trumbull PD, call (203) 261-3665 instead of using the DOC search.

Are Trumbull Mugshots Public

They are. Arrest records in Trumbull 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. For warrant arrests in Trumbull, the warrant application and supporting affidavit are also public. For arrests made without a warrant, the official arrest report is what becomes public.

The Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission enforces access rules for public agencies, and that includes the Trumbull Police Department. If the Trumbull PD turns down a records request or takes too long, you can file a complaint with the FOI Commission within 30 days. No special forms are needed to make a request. Write a letter, send an email, or just show up at 158 Edison Road during normal hours. The Trumbull PD must respond promptly under state FOIA rules. Municipal agencies in Connecticut can charge up to $0.50 per page for copies of Trumbull busted mugshots and other public records.

There are limits. Under CGS § 1-210(b), some records are exempt from public access. That includes juvenile cases, sealed records, active investigation files, and victim details from sexual assaults. These exemptions apply to Trumbull just like they do in every other town in Connecticut.

Trumbull Record Erasure Rules

Connecticut has strict rules on when arrest records get removed from public view. Under CGS § 54-142a, Trumbull arrest records are erased when charges are dismissed or dropped, or when a person is found not guilty. If the state nolles a Trumbull case, those records are erased after 13 months. This applies to both the police files at Trumbull PD and the court records in the state system.

The Clean Slate law adds more erasure options. Certain older misdemeanor convictions can be erased after 7 years. Some felony convictions qualify after 10 years, as long as the person has not been in trouble since. Sex crimes, family violence, and gun offenses are not eligible for Clean Slate. When a Trumbull record gets erased, it is fully gone from both the police and court databases. The law treats the arrest as if it never took place. If you search for a Trumbull mugshot from an older case and find nothing, it is possible the record was erased under these rules.

Getting Trumbull Booking Photos

The court case lookup shows charges and case info, but it does not include actual mugshot photos. To get copies of Trumbull busted mugshots, you need to go through the Trumbull Police Department. Their records office at 158 Edison Road handles these requests. Here is what the process looks like:

• Provide the full name of the person and the date of arrest if you have it
• Submit a written FOIA request in person, by mail, or by email
• The Trumbull PD must respond promptly under Connecticut law
• Copy fees are up to $0.50 per page
• Mugshot photos may come as printed copies or digital files

For a full criminal history search that goes beyond a single Trumbull arrest, the State Police Bureau of Identification handles statewide checks. You will need a fingerprinting appointment at their Middletown office. The cost is $75 for a state check and $13.25 for a federal check. This is the most thorough way to pull all records tied to a person across Connecticut, not just those from Trumbull.
