Hartford pawnbrokers and precious metal dealers must register with the Hartford Police Department and report transactions under Connecticut General Statutes section 21-39 and Hartford Municipal Code chapter 17 business regulations.
Connecticut General Statutes section 21-39 requires pawnbrokers to obtain a license from the chief of police of the municipality where they operate. Hartford Police Department issues and renews these licenses under Hartford Municipal Code chapter 17. Licensed pawnbrokers must keep a daily transaction log identifying each pledged item, the pledger, and a holding period before resale. Precious metal and secondhand dealers fall under CGS section 21-40 and must report acquisitions to police electronically through the LeadsOnline system used statewide. Holds typically run ten to fifteen days to allow theft recovery before redemption or resale.
Operating without police-issued license, missing transaction log, failure to hold items, no LeadsOnline reporting, accepting from minors, no identification recorded.
