The Connecticut Criminal History and Your Own Copy
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. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
To see your own record, the route is a request to the State Police Bureau of Identification. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at portal.ct.gov/-/media/DESPP/files/dps-0846-c_criminal_history_recor....
