Enfield Criminal Court Docket Records

Criminal cases from Enfield create docket records at G.A. 19 or the Hartford JD. The docket tracks every step. It shows charges, hearing dates, motions filed, pleas entered, and the final disposition. Under C.G.S. 54-142g, the state sets rules for criminal history records, including what information is public and how records get erased after certain outcomes. Conviction data is public and searchable. If a case ends in a dismissal, acquittal, or pardon, the record may be erased from both the court system and law enforcement databases.

Erasure removes the record entirely. It is not the same as sealing, which keeps the record but limits who can see it. If you search for an Enfield criminal docket and come up empty, the case may have been erased. The online search tools only show cases that have not been erased. For questions about whether a record has been erased, you would need to contact the court directly.
