Is the Division of Criminal Justice a part of the Connecticut State Police or the Department of Public Safety?
No. Although the Department of Public Safety and the Division of Criminal Justice are both a part of the executive branch of state government, they are separate and independent agencies. However, the Connecticut State Police (which is part of the Department of Public Safety) and the Division of Criminal Justice work closely together in criminal matters, especially in cases investigated by the State Police and in cooperative task forces.
