Who polices Enfield
Enfield has its own police department, and arrests in town are made by Enfield officers, who book you and either release you or set a bond.
Interstate 91 runs up through Enfield to the Massachusetts line, and highway stops there may be made by state troopers. Those cases go to the same court as everything else out of Enfield.
Where your case goes
This is the part worth reading twice. Enfield used to have its own Geographical Area court, GA 13, and it is closed. Enfield cases are now heard at Hartford Superior Court, GA 14, at 101 Lafayette Street in Hartford.
People still search for the Enfield court, and old paperwork, old letters, and old web pages still name it. If anything you are holding says Enfield Superior Court, that building is not where your case is. Go to Hartford, and allow for the drive: it is a real distance down Interstate 91 rather than a trip across town, and the court page covers parking, which is paid and scarce.
Released after the arrest, your date is on your paperwork. Held, court is the next business day.
After the arrest
Enfield officers either release you on a written promise to appear or after a bond, or hold you for court the next business day. Released, your date is on your paperwork, and the address on it is Hartford. Held, you are brought to court and a judge reviews the bond. The arrest page covers booking; the bond and bail page covers the bond.
A family violence arrest goes to court the next business day regardless, and a protective order issues at that appearance, lasting the life of the case.
Until the date, do not talk about the case, and treat calls from holding as recorded. Then leave early: the drive to Hartford is the part Enfield defendants underestimate, and arriving late to a busy docket is its own problem. The arraignment page explains the appearance and the what to expect page explains the case.
Common charges in Enfield
The Enfield docket at GA 14 covers DUI, assault, domestic violence and family violence, drug possession, and larceny and shoplifting. Interstate 91 and the state line add a share of highway stops to the DUI and drug numbers. On a first offense a diversionary program that ends in dismissal is often the goal.
