Court PC's criminal database contains records of more than 3.6 million criminal and motor vehicle cases, covering offenses ranging from felonies and misdemeanors to simple motor vehicle violations and infractions. The entire criminal database is updated weekly from Connecticut Judicial Branch records. Cases from all judicial districts and geographical areas are included.

Searches are conducted by using a name (or part of a name) only and possible matches will be displayed in a table showing the full name, full date of birth, address, court location and docket number, and whether the case ended in the defendant being sentenced. The table of matching records may be filtered by entering a year of birth or by restricting records to felonies and misdemeanors only, to make it easier to review the many matching records that may appear for common names.

When you select a docket number from the results, a case detail will appear in a new window, showing more specific identifying information such as race, sex and possibly an operator’s license number. Following that will be a list of charges brought against the defendant, the date and location of the offense, arresting agency, the plea, and any verdict and sentencing information.

In addition to convictions, pending cases are considered eligible for disclosure and are included in search results with information as to their most recent status and the dates of scheduled future hearings. A separate online search of the CT Judicial Branch data for any pending cases will reveal any additions or changes occurring in the past 7 days.

Whenever a criminal or motor vehicle case is concluded by anything other than a guilty verdict (i.e., an acquittal, dismissal, or nolle), the case record will remain available in the database for 20 days in the event of a dismissal, a verdict of not guilty, or an acquittal, or for 13 months in the event of a nolle having been entered. This is consistent with CT Judicial practice for reporting such dispositions.
