- The Records Division will be closed to the public and fingerprinting services are suspended.
- We have set up a temporary Telephone Response Unit and we may have a police officer telephone you back rather than come see you in person. Please continue to call 860-523-5203 for any routine, non-emergency matters and we will make an assessment regarding our response.
- When working directly with our officers, please keep in mind they will maintain at least a six foot distance from people when practicable and we ask citizens do the same.
