This site is a privately run reference tool for Milford County inmate and custody information. It is not a government office, and we do not staff a jail, a court clerk window, or a corrections desk. We cannot confirm whether a person is in custody, release anyone, set or post bond, or pull, certify, or correct an official booking or court record. We also do not give legal advice. For any of those needs, reach the agency that holds the record directly. The directory below points you to the correct office for each kind of question.
Where to Send Custody Questions
The right office depends on where the person is held. Connecticut does not run county sheriff jails. In Milford, the city police handle the arrest and short-term processing, and the state corrections agency holds anyone kept in custody before trial or after a sentence. Use the local police for a fresh arrest and the state department for continuing custody. To browse who is held in current inmate listings, see our jail inmate records page.
Milford Police Department
430 Boston Post Road
Milford, CT 06460
Main line: 203-878-6551 (staffed 24 hours)
Emergency: 911
This is the local arrest and police records point. There is no public Milford jail roster or mugshot gallery online, so a recent local arrest is handled here.
Connecticut Department of Correction
24 Wolcott Hill Road
Wethersfield, CT 06109
Main line: 860-692-7480
Public Information Office: 860-692-7780 (8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday)
The state agency holds pretrial and sentenced inmates. To check a current inmate, use the Connecticut DOC inmate search, which can be searched by name, date of birth, or DOC number.
The facility that serves the Milford court is Bridgeport Correctional Center. New Haven Correctional Center is a nearby state facility, though its official service area does not list Milford. Both run state visiting and account rules rather than a city roster.

Requesting Police Records
Copies of an incident report, a motor vehicle crash report, or an arrest log come from the Milford Police Records Division. The division keeps set hours, so it helps to confirm a record is ready before you visit. You can also file a request through the department's online records portal at any hour. Booking photos for current inmates, when public, are covered on our jail roster mugshots page.
Milford Police Records Division

Court Case and Charge Questions
Charges filed after an arrest live in the court file, not in a police record. The clerk at the Milford courthouse can help with a paper case file, and the state Judicial Branch posts many pending cases, dockets, and conviction records online. Court charges may differ from the charges on the arrest. For the full pathway from arrest to court, see our court records after a jail arrest page.
Milford GA 22 Courthouse
14 West River Street
Milford, CT 06460

Case lookup: Connecticut Judicial criminal case search
Questions about how charges are filed, amended, or dropped go to the prosecutor, which Connecticut calls the State's Attorney. The Ansonia-Milford office handles Milford cases at the same West River Street address. Part A covers serious cases, and GA 22 Part B covers misdemeanors, motor vehicle matters, and lower-level felonies.

Victim Notification
If you want to track a custody or court status change, register with Connecticut SAVIN, the state's victim notification service through VINELink. It can alert you about release, transfer, and hearing events. Registration is free and open to the public.
