Applicants will need to contact the sheriff’s office for an arrest warrant search in New Haven County, CT. If you believe that your subject has been involved in hardcore criminal activity, you could also check the most wanted list to see if you find his/her name in it. The sheriff’s website offers this list at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Police/Wanted/index.asp.
The offenders named on this page are all accused of serious criminal transgressions but the police are yet to make arrests in these matters. Not finding a New Haven County outstanding warrant against the subject in this list does not always mean that the person in question was never involved in a criminal act. There can be several reasons for this exclusion such as:
- The crime committed by the subject qualifies as a trivial offense
- The New Haven County active warrant against this person is several years old
- The arrest warrant was issued in other judicial district or state
- Arrests have already been made under the warrants
The last point above should clarify that there is no scope of finding arrest records for New Haven County from the most wanted list. So, if you are interested in a background report that will eventually be handed over to a prospective employer or are keen on finding the complete criminal history of your subject, it would be best to connect with a state department.
You have three likely choices in the justice juggernaut of the state: the police, the county clerk, and the magistrate. Their addresses have been given below.
