Criminal Procedure - Victim Notification - Request at the Time of Charging

Summary

When a victim or their representative first contacts law enforcement or a district court, the officer must give them a pamphlet and explain they can request notifications about the defendant’s custody status and court dates through Maryland’s Electronic Courts (MDEC) system. Victims can submit a request form or use the MDEC protocol, and the system will send them updates while keeping their contact information confidential.
