Although county governance in Connecticut has been abolished, the state constitution still mandates the election of sheriffs along county lines. These sheriffs are responsible for key roles such as appointing deputies, serving legal processes, maintaining custody of prisoners at courthouses, and managing inmate transportation between courthouses and correctional centers. The Connecticut Department of Correction operates five main facilities statewide::

  1. Bridgeport Correctional Center
  2. Hartford Correctional Center
  3. New Haven Correctional Center
  4. Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center (Uncasville)
  5. York Correctional Institution (Niantic) is the state’s facility for female inmates.

These facilities handle sheriff and police department detainees from all areas across the state. Sheriffs also play roles in court security and the execution of legal processes, coordinating with entities such as the Office of the County Sheriff and the Judicial Department. Their duties include serving legal documents, maintaining courthouse custody, and attending courts. Each sheriff is authorized to appoint deputies and special deputies to assist in these responsibilities.

Elected sheriffs serve four-year terms, taking office in June, with their powers outlined by state statutes, primarily in Chapter 78. Their responsibilities include the execution of legal documents and attending court sessions. Each sheriff has the authority to appoint a chief deputy, several deputies, and an unlimited number of special deputies.
