Citizen Complaint Bureau (CCB):

The State's Attorney's Office proudly initiated the Citizen Complaint Bureau on July 6, 1999. This new service is designed to enable direct citizen complainant contact with the State's Attorney's Office within 72 hours of filing a criminal complaint. These early contacts better enable our office to prepare cases for court, or to divert appropriate cases to one of a variety of county diversion or counseling programs best suited to resolve the dispute.

As a direct result of this effort, we have reduced the criminal docket in Montgomery County by approximately 25%. Simply put, the State's Attorney's Office now focuses more resources on high priority cases, thereby producing a qualitative security dividend for Montgomery County's residents. The Citizen Complaint Bureau is open daily, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m

Once a citizen has been seen by a commisioner and an application for a statement of charges has been filed, the citizen will be given information that requires them to meet with an assistant state's attorney at the State's Attorney's Office within 3-5 days after the complaint was filed.

Commisioners will be at two locations in the County. There will always a be a Commissioner at Rockville.

Commissioners are scheduled at Silver Spring but may not always be available as scheduled.
