Connecticut licenses surety bail bond agents through the State Insurance Department; professional bondsmen and bail enforcement agents are licensed separately by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (state police). Public Act 25-25 (2025) updated bail-enforcement rules.
Connecticut is unusual — it has no county governments, and jails are run by the state Department of Correction organized by judicial district.
