Question 1

Where do I get an official criminal history report in Bridgeport?

Accepted Answer

An official Bridgeport, Connecticut criminal history report comes from the **Connecticut State Police Bureau of Identification (SPBI)** — local Bridgeport PD cannot issue your statewide record. **The process**: (1) Get a fingerprint capture at any participating Live Scan vendor or at a CT State Police troop. **Bridgeport Police Department Records Division** at 300 Congress St, Bridgeport CT 06604, phone (203) 581-5111, can do fingerprinting (call to confirm). **CT State Police Troop G** in Bridgeport at 149 Prospect St, phone (203) 696-2500. **IdentoGO** has CT locations across the state. (2) Submit DPS-846-C (CT criminal history record check application) to **CT State Police SPBI** at 1111 Country Club Rd, Middletown CT 06457, phone (860) 685-8190, https://portal.ct.gov/despp/division-of-emergency-service-and-public-protection/reports-and-records/state-police-bureau-of-identification. (3) **Fees** under C.G.S. § 29-17a: **$15 fingerprint fee** + **$75 records search fee** = $90 total for fingerprint-based check. **Important update**: under SB 343 (2026), the **records search fee is WAIVED for personal-review applicants prior to July 1, 2029** — so a self-check is currently $15 plus any Live Scan rolling fee. **Name-based search**: $36 for a non-fingerprint check via SPBI. **FBI national check**: add $14.50 federal fee. (4) Turnaround 5–10 business days; results mailed only. (5) **Court records** (separate): Connecticut Judicial Branch at https://www.jud.ct.gov/crim.htm — free, shows criminal/MV convictions in the past 10 years. (6) **Sex-offender check**: Connecticut Sex Offender Registry at https://www.communitynotification.com/cap_office_disclaimer.php?office=54567. **For employment**, you cannot pull someone else's CT record without permissible use under C.G.S. § 31-51i (CT 'ban-the-box' / Fair Chance Act); vendors (Checkr, Sterling, GoodHire) wrap state, FBI, court, county, and MVR into FCRA-compliant report.

Question 2

Where can I find out if I can request police reports without personal involvement?

Accepted Answer

Yes — anyone can request police reports in Connecticut, regardless of personal involvement. Connecticut's **Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)** at C.G.S. §§ 1-200 et seq. creates a presumption that government records are public. **Bridgeport-specific source**: **Bridgeport Police Department Records Division** at 300 Congress St, Bridgeport CT 06604, phone (203) 581-5111, https://www.bridgeportct.gov/government/departments/city-clerk. **Three steps**: (1) Submit a **FOIA request** in writing (email, mail, or in-person form). State the date, time, location, parties involved (if known), and case number (if available). (2) **Fees** under C.G.S. § 1-212: **non-certified copies $0.25 per page**; **certified copies $1 per page**; computer-generated records actual cost. **Search fees** for time-intensive searches may apply. As the direct party (victim, complainant, person named), agencies often waive fees. (3) **Response time**: Connecticut FOIA requires a response **within 4 business days** under FOIC guidance — though substantial requests may take longer. (4) **What's released**: incident date, location, narrative summary, names of parties, disposition. (5) **What's redacted under C.G.S. § 1-210(b)**: identifying victim/witness info in sex offenses, juvenile names, active-investigation details, undercover-officer identities. (6) **Court records** if charges were filed: Connecticut Judicial Branch at https://www.jud.ct.gov/crim.htm. (7) **Appeal denials** to the **Freedom of Information Commission (FOIC)** at https://portal.ct.gov/FOI — Connecticut has one of the most aggressive FOIA enforcement bodies in the U.S.; FOIC complaints are free to file. (8) **Body-cam footage**: under C.G.S. § 29-6d, body-cam recordings are subject to FOIA with redactions for victims, juveniles, and active investigations. Sources: Bridgeport PD, Connecticut FOIC, C.G.S. §§ 1-200, 1-210, 1-212, 29-6d

Question 3

Where can I find the salaries of city employees?

Accepted Answer

Salaries of city employees in Greenwich, Connecticut are public records under the **Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)** at C.G.S. §§ 1-200 et seq. **Three sources**: (1) **Town of Greenwich Human Resources** at https://www.greenwichct.gov, 101 Field Point Rd, Greenwich CT 06830, phone (203) 622-7700. **Town Clerk's Office** at the same address handles official records requests. **FOIA records request** can be submitted in writing (email, mail, or in-person form) to the Town Clerk or HR; CT FOIA requires response **within 4 business days**. (2) **Connecticut Open Government Portal** — for state employees: **OpenCheckbook CT** at https://opencheckbook.ct.gov; **Transparency CT** at https://transparency.ct.gov publishes detailed state payroll. **Local salaries** (Greenwich is a town, not a state entity): NOT in OpenCheckbook CT but available via direct FOIA request to the Town. (3) **Independent FOIA-built databases**: **Transparent California-style** Connecticut data — Hartford Courant 'See Connecticut public salaries' database at https://data.courant.com — covers most CT municipalities; SeeThroughCT at https://www.seethroughct.org publishes state and local salaries via Yankee Institute (independent). (4) **What's released**: name, position/title, base salary, total compensation (including overtime, bonuses), department, hire date. (5) **What's NOT released**: home address, SSN, DOB, beneficiary info, medical/disability records (C.G.S. § 1-210(b)). (6) **Pension info**: Greenwich Town pension data also FOIA-requestable from the Town Treasurer; Connecticut state retirement plans are at https://osc.ct.gov/empret/index.html. (7) **Greenwich-specific context**: Greenwich Public Schools is the largest local employer (teacher and administrator salaries are public per C.G.S. § 10-151c); GPS publishes its salary schedule annually. **Fees**: $0.25/page non-certified under C.G.S. § 1-212; many records released electronically free. Sources: Town of Greenwich, CT Transparency, OpenCheckbook CT, SeeThroughCT, Hartford Courant data, C.G.S. §§ 1-200, 1-210, 1-212, 10-151c

Question 4

Where can I find access to the average price of a landscaping building permit?

Accepted Answer

Greenwich, Connecticut publishes its building-permit fee schedule online at greenwichct.gov — search for the current Building Inspection Permit Fee Schedule (the 2026 schedule is at greenwichct.gov/DocumentCenter/View/54883). Standalone landscaping work that doesn't involve construction (planting, basic grading, irrigation tied to existing systems) typically doesn't need a building permit at all — it's handled under the zoning department's site-plan review. Where a landscaping project DOES trigger a permit is when it includes retaining walls over 4 feet, swimming pools, sport courts, decks, gazebos, outdoor kitchens, drainage systems, or significant earthwork. For those, the residential building-permit fee is calculated at $13.26 per $1,000 of project valuation (or major fraction thereof), with a $40.26 minimum fee. Commercial work runs $15.26 per $1,000. So a $50,000 retaining-wall-and-patio project would carry a permit fee around $663. Special site-plan review for new construction with landscape and lighting components has its own $1,110 special-permit fee under the 2026 schedule. There isn't a published "average" landscaping permit price because the cost is purely a function of project valuation. For an actual estimate, call Greenwich Building Department at (203) 622-7754 or visit Town Hall, 101 Field Point Road, Greenwich, CT 06830. Tree-removal permits are separate and handled by the Tree Warden

Question 5

Where do I look up a divorce in Connecticut?

Accepted Answer

To look up a divorce in Connecticut, search the **Superior Court** in the judicial district where the divorce was finalized. **Connecticut Judicial Branch Civil/Family Case Look-up** at https://www.jud.ct.gov/jud2.htm or https://www.jud.ct.gov/lookup.htm — free statewide search by party name or docket number; covers all 13 Judicial Districts. **Family-law branch courthouses**: Hartford (95 Washington St), New Haven (235 Church St), Stamford-Norwalk (123 Hoyt St), Bridgeport (1061 Main St), Waterbury, New London, Litchfield, Middlesex (Middletown), Tolland (Rockville), Windham (Danielson), Danbury, Ansonia-Milford (Milford), and Putnam Geographical Area. **Search returns**: case number, parties, file date, disposition (Decree of Dissolution = divorce granted; Pending = case still active). **Certified copy of divorce decree**: order at the Clerk's office where the case was filed — **$25 per certified copy** under C.G.S. § 52-259a; non-certified $1 first page + $0.50 each additional. **CDPH does NOT issue divorce certificates in Connecticut** — Connecticut, like California for post-1984 divorces, has no statewide divorce certificate; the Superior Court Clerk's certified copy IS the legal document. **Filing fee** for a new divorce: **$360** under C.G.S. § 52-259; fee waiver on JD-FM-75 for eligible filers. **Residency requirement** under C.G.S. § 46b-44: at least 12 continuous months in CT before filing (with limited exceptions). **Sealed cases** (juvenile-related, certain protective-order and DV-related matters) are not publicly visible. **Apostille** for international use: certified copy from Clerk first, then Connecticut Secretary of State at https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS, 165 Capitol Ave, Hartford CT 06106. Sources: Connecticut Judicial Branch, C.G.S. §§ 46b-44, 52-259, 52-259a

Question 6

How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Connecticut?

Accepted Answer

Outstanding warrants in Connecticut are issued by the courts and held by the law-enforcement agency that will serve them. **Three reliable sources**: (1) **Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal/Motor Vehicle Case Look-up** at https://www.jud.ct.gov/crim.htm — every filed case shows whether a bench warrant has been issued for failure to appear. Free, name-based search. (2) **Local arresting agency**: city/town police department or Connecticut State Police troop (Troops A–L) — call the records line directly. **CSP HQ** at 1111 Country Club Rd, Middletown CT 06457, phone (860) 685-8190. **Major-city PDs**: Bridgeport PD (203) 581-5100; Hartford PD (860) 757-4000; New Haven PD (203) 946-6304; Stamford PD (203) 977-4444; Waterbury PD (203) 574-6911; Norwalk PD (203) 854-3000; Danbury PD (203) 797-4611. (3) **CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) Most Wanted** at https://portal.ct.gov/DESPP — for serious statewide fugitives. (4) **U.S. Marshals Profiled Fugitives** at https://www.justice.gov/action-center/identify-our-most-wanted-fugitives — federal warrants on Connecticut soil. **What won't show up**: confidential warrants in active investigations, sealed indictments, juvenile-court warrants. **Quash a warrant**: most courts allow a Motion to Quash that re-sets a hearing date — typical motion fee. **Strong recommendation**: if a warrant might be out for you, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station. Connecticut Public Defender at https://portal.ct.gov/Division-of-Public-Defender-Services provides free counsel for the indigent. **Voluntary surrender** on planned terms — bond posted in advance — beats a traffic-stop arrest.
