Who polices Windsor
Windsor has its own police department, and town officers make most of the arrests here. They handle booking and either release you on a written promise to appear or set a bond.
Interstate 91 runs through Windsor, and stops on the highway may be state police rather than town officers. If you are not sure which agency arrested you, the paperwork says so, and it decides who to call about a bond rather than where the case is heard.
Where your case goes
Windsor cases are heard at Hartford Superior Court, GA 14, south down the interstate. The court page covers the parking, which is paid, and the arraignment docket, which is busy.
If you were released, the date is on your paperwork. If you were held, you are brought to court the next business day.
After the arrest
How the arrest ends depends on the bond and on who made it. Windsor officers or state troopers either release you on a written promise to appear or after you post, or hold you for court the next business day. The arrest page covers booking and release; the bond and bail page covers the bond.
For a family violence arrest, court is the next business day whichever way you were released, and a protective order issues then. It can order you out of your own home immediately.
Whatever the charge, do not explain yourself to the arresting officer or to anyone else, and remember that calls from holding are recorded. The arraignment page covers the first court date and the what to expect page covers the whole case.
Common charges in Windsor
Interstate traffic puts DUI and drug possession prominently on what GA 14 sees out of Windsor, alongside assault, domestic violence and family violence, and larceny and shoplifting. A first offense frequently qualifies for a diversionary program that ends in dismissal.
