Dear Neighbor,
I’m pleased to announce a policy change to address the car theft and break-ins in CT. I worked with our West Hartford Mayor, Town Manager, Chief of Police and state delegation to share legislative recommendations with a bi-partisan committee developing solutions for our state.
One of these recommendations went into effect this week. As of Wednesday, September 1, the CT Judicial Branch will provide police departments with 24/7 access to juvenile arrest records to help curb car thefts and break-ins.
The Judicial Branch and local police have struggled to share juvenile criminal history and that has hampered efforts to investigate and properly prosecute repeat offenders.
