This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, schedule court, or pull an official booking record. Use the offices below for official West Haven arrest, custody, court, federal, immigration, and notification questions.
Where to Ask for the Record You Need
West Haven has no county sheriff jail roster. Start with the office that controls the record type or custody stage.
- West Haven Police Department. 200 Sawmill Road, West Haven, CT 06516. Main phone: 203-937-3900. Records Division materials list 203-937-3920. Lobby hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
- WHPD Records Division. Located in the police headquarters lobby. Records request hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 12:30 p.m.-3:45 p.m.; closed weekends and holidays. WHPD lists report copies at $0.50 per page and asks requesters to provide the case number when possible.
- West Haven FOIA route. Send city FOIA requests to FOIA@westhaven-ct.gov, or mail or deliver them to the Office of the City Clerk, 355 Main Street, West Haven, CT 06516. Connecticut copy fees and advance-cost rules are tied to C.G.S. 1-210 and 1-212.
- New Haven Correctional Center. 245 Whalley Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511. Phone: (203) 974-4111. Use this facility contact for DOC custody, visiting, and facility-specific questions after a person has been committed to DOC custody.
- CT DOC Public Information Office. 24 Wolcott Hill Road, Wethersfield, CT 06109. Phone: 860-692-7780, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., for offender-information questions that the public locator does not answer.
- Milford G.A. No. 22. 14 West River Street, Milford, CT 06460. The Ansonia/Milford materials route West Haven adult local criminal and motor vehicle matters through Milford G.A. No. 22. State's Attorney phone: (203) 874-3017.
- BOP, ICE, and VINELink. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal prisoners, ICE ODLS for immigration detention, and CT SAVIN/VINELink or 1-866-277-7477 for custody and court-event notifications.
- For current DOC custody, begin with jail inmate records and the Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search.
- For booking photos or custody-photo requests, use jail roster mugshots and WHPD or city FOIA records routes.
- For charges, dates, and court events after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Judicial Branch searches.
- For a facility address, phone number, visiting context, or custody role, use the detention facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Connecticut prisoner, use the statewide CT DOC locator rather than a West Haven roster.
- For a federal or immigration detainee, search BOP or ICE because those records are separate from CT DOC and WHPD.
