Naugatuck, Connecticut, in New Haven County, has about 32,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at a facility of the Connecticut Department of Correction, and, if the State's Attorney files charges, a case in the Connecticut Superior Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Connecticut is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: conviction records are public and can be requested on anyone by name, through the Connecticut State Police Bureau of Identification. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Naugatuck
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act the agency must answer promptly; a request not answered in 4 business days is treated as denied and can be appealed, and it may charge the copy fees set by statute.
