Windsor Busted Mugshots

Windsor busted mugshots are created when the Windsor Police Department books someone on criminal charges. This town of nearly 30,000 sits in Hartford County along the Connecticut River, and its police department handles all local arrests. You can search for Windsor mugshots and booking records through several free state databases. Windsor arrest cases move through the Hartford Judicial District court system. The records are open to the public under state law. Whether you need to find a specific Windsor arrest record or just want to check on recent bookings, this page covers every method to look up that information.

Windsor Police Department Arrest Records

The Windsor Police Department at 340 Bloomfield Avenue is where all local busted mugshots start. Call them at (860) 688-5273 for records questions. Every time a Windsor officer makes an arrest, the booking process creates a mugshot photo and an arrest report. These go into the department's files. You can request copies of Windsor arrest records and booking photos by visiting the station, calling, or sending a written request by mail.

The Windsor Police Department website has information on how to reach the records division and what services are available. The screenshot below shows the department's main page where you can find contact details and service information for requesting Windsor busted mugshots.

Windsor PD processes records requests during regular business hours on weekdays.

Under Connecticut law, the copy fee is $0.50 per page. Bring cash if you go in person. Mail requests need a check or money order. Give them the full name of the person and an approximate arrest date. The more detail you can provide, the faster they pull the right file. Some Windsor arrest records might not be available right away if the case is still active or under investigation. That is normal. Once the case clears, the records become fully accessible to anyone who asks.

Windsor Criminal Case Lookup

The Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal Case Look-up is the fastest free way to find Windsor busted mugshots that made it into the court system. Windsor cases go through the Hartford Judicial District. Search by name and the database pulls up arrest records, charges, court dates, and case outcomes. It covers about ten years of data.

The statewide criminal case lookup tool is shown below. Windsor arrests that result in court filings will appear in this free system under the Hartford Judicial District.

No account or login is needed. The search is open to the public at no cost.

You can also try the convictions search tool to narrow results to cases that ended with a guilty verdict. This helps when you already know the person was convicted and just want the case details from a Windsor arrest. The pending cases search is useful too if you think someone from Windsor has open charges that have not been resolved yet. Both tools are free and do not require registration.

Note: The court database does not display actual mugshot photos, but it confirms arrest and case details tied to Windsor bookings.

Windsor Inmate Records Search

If someone arrested in Windsor was sent to state custody, the Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search will show their current status. Search by name or DOC number. The system updates daily with current custody information from every state facility.

The DOC inmate search page is shown below. Windsor arrests that lead to state incarceration will appear in this tool.

Results include booking information and facility placement for each person in state custody.

Not every Windsor arrest leads to state custody. People who post bail or get released on a promise to appear will not show up in the DOC system. The database also does not include people in federal custody, juvenile offenders, or anyone held only at the local Windsor police station. For someone still in local lockup at Windsor PD, you need to call (860) 688-5273 directly to ask about their status.

Windsor Busted Mugshots and Public Records

Windsor arrest records are public. That is state law. CGS § 1-215 says the record of an arrest is public from the moment it happens. The name, address, date, time, and charges are all open to anyone who asks. For arrests made on a warrant in Windsor, the warrant application and supporting affidavit are public documents too. You do not need to give a reason for your request.

There are limits though. CGS § 1-210(b) lists what stays private. Juvenile records are sealed. So are records from sexual assault cases that could identify the victim. Active investigations can also be shielded until the police work wraps up. If Windsor PD denies your request or takes too long to respond, the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission handles complaints. File within 30 days of the denial. The FOI Commission is at 165 Capitol Avenue in Hartford and can be reached at (860) 566-5682. They take complaints by mail, email, or in person.

Windsor Record Erasure Rules

Some Windsor busted mugshots get erased over time. CGS § 54-142a controls this. If charges are dismissed, dropped, or result in a not guilty finding, the record is erased. Nolled cases are erased after 13 months. Once a Windsor arrest record is erased, the police department and court system must delete it. You will not find it in any public database after that.

Connecticut's Clean Slate law goes further. Misdemeanor convictions are erased after 7 years if the person stays out of trouble. Certain felonies qualify after 10 years. Sex crimes, family violence cases, and gun offenses do not qualify. Clean Slate erasure happens automatically. The person does not need to file anything. Once the waiting period passes, the Windsor arrest record vanishes from both the court database and police records.

This means a mugshot from a Windsor arrest years ago might no longer be available. If you search and find nothing, the record may have been erased under one of these laws. That is how the system works in Connecticut.

Full Criminal History for Windsor Arrests

The State Police Bureau of Identification keeps the most complete criminal history files in Connecticut. This goes beyond what the free court lookup shows. A SPBI check pulls every arrest statewide, including Windsor bookings that may not have made it to court. It covers anyone age 16 and older who has been charged with a crime.

To get a check done, book a fingerprinting appointment at the SPBI office in Middletown. Bring your confirmation page, pre-enrollment form, and a valid government ID. Fees break down to $15 for fingerprinting, $75 for the state criminal history, and $13.25 for a federal check. Pay in separate exact amounts with cash, check, or money order. This is the most thorough way to look at arrest history for someone booked in Windsor or anywhere else in the state. Walk-ins are not accepted.
