As is the case with all eight of Connecticut's counties, there is no county government, and no county seat. In Connecticut, towns are responsible for all local government activities, including fire and rescue, snow removal and schools. In a few cases, neighboring towns will share certain resources. However, New Haven County is merely a group of towns on a map, and has no particular authority. The state judicial system, however, remains divided by county, and drivers receiving speeding tickets on state or interstate highways, for example, find themselves in New Haven County Court being escorted by a New Haven County Marshal.
