West Haven Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, pull an official record, or change a police or court file. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.
Choose the Correct Office
Connecticut has no county sheriff or county-operated jail. For a West Haven arrest, the correct starting point depends on whether the question concerns the city arrest record, current state custody, or the court case.
West Haven Police Records
West Haven Police Department200 Saw Mill Road
West Haven, CT 06516
Main and non-emergency: (203) 937-3900
Records Division: (203) 937-3920
Records counter: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.; closed weekends and holidays
WHPD keeps city police reports and arrest records. Its Records Division page links the current Freedom of Information request form. The department lists report copies at 50 cents per page. A booking photograph is not body-camera footage, so ask Records staff for the applicable copy cost before assuming the published $40 body-camera fee applies.
Connecticut State Custody
Connecticut Department of Correction Public Information Office24 Wolcott Hill Road
Wethersfield, CT 06109
Information line: (860) 692-7780
Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Use the official CT DOC Inmate Information Search for current state custody. A station release or summons will not create a DOC profile. New Haven Correctional Center is a relevant regional pretrial facility, not a guaranteed destination for every West Haven arrestee. Its official contact is 245 Whalley Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511, (203) 974-4111.
GA 22 Court Records
Superior Court, Geographical Area No. 22 at Milford14 West River Street
Milford, CT 06460
Clerk public-information line: (203) 874-1116
GA 22 serves West Haven and Milford. Start with the Connecticut Judicial Branch lookup hub, then contact the clerk with a docket number if a file copy or case-status answer is needed. The court record, not a booking image, shows the disposition.
Use the following routes for common needs:
- For a WHPD booking sheet or processing photo, follow the West Haven arrest-record request path.
- For current state custody or a DOC profile image, use CT DOC rather than a nonexistent county roster.
- For a charge outcome, dismissal, or conviction record, use GA 22 and the Judicial Branch lookup.
- For a federal prisoner, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration custody, use the ICE detainee locator.
- For a safety issue or emergency, contact the proper authority directly and call 911 when immediate help is required.
