Who polices East Granby
East Granby has its own police department, a small municipal one, and arrests in town are made by East Granby officers.
The town sits next to Bradley International Airport, and some stops in and around East Granby come out of airport traffic. Airport property itself is policed by the state police rather than by the town, so an arrest a short distance apart can be made by a different agency. Both go to the same court, and the paperwork tells you which agency you are dealing with.
Where your case goes
East Granby cases are prosecuted at Hartford Superior Court, GA 14. The court page covers parking, which is paid, and the arraignment docket, which is the busiest in the region.
If you were released, the date is on your paperwork. If you were held, court is the next business day.
After the arrest
After booking you are either released on a written promise to appear or on a bond, or held for court the next business day, where a judge reviews the amount. Which agency arrested you decides where the paperwork came from, not what happens next. See the arrest page and the bond and bail page.
Do not discuss the case with anyone, and assume calls from a holding facility are recorded, because they are.
For a family violence arrest, court is the next business day and a protective order issues at that appearance, running for the length of the case. The arraignment page explains what happens at that first date, and the what to expect page explains where it goes from there.
Common charges in East Granby
Airport-adjacent traffic gives DUI a steady presence on what GA 14 sees out of East Granby, along with drug possession. Assault, domestic violence and family violence, and larceny and shoplifting make up the rest of a small docket. On a first offense a diversionary program that ends in dismissal is usually what an attorney is aiming for.
