Farmington Police Desk
Welcome to the Farmington Police Desk — your central hub for coverage of policing, public safety, and arrest activity in our town. This page is designed to give readers both context and the latest developments, so you can understand not just what happened, but also how policing works in Farmington.
About the Farmington Police Department
The Farmington Police Department provides law enforcement services for a community of more than 26,000 residents. The department handles routine patrols, emergency calls, investigations, and community policing programs.
Farmington police maintain an arrest log, respond to traffic incidents, and work with regional agencies when cases extend beyond town borders. Residents often hear about the outcomes through court appearances in Hartford and Bristol.
Arrest Log & Blotter
We regularly publish summaries of arrest reports released by the Farmington Police Department. These stories cover charges such as DUI, larceny, and domestic disputes. Each report is drawn from public records.
👉 Important note: An arrest is not a conviction. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Beyond arrests, our coverage includes:
- Updates on traffic safety initiatives and enforcement zones
- Reports on seasonal crime trends (e.g., holiday shoplifting, summer DUI stops)
- Information about school resource officers and youth safety programs
