District Court Commissioners are judicial officers whose primary function includes reviewing Applications for Statement of Charges by the public and police for the filing of criminal charges in the District Court. A Criminal Summons or an Arrest Warrant may be issued based upon a finding of probable cause in the Application for Statement of Charges. A District Court Commissioner determines probable cause for charges on police on-view arrests and thereafter determines pre-trial release and accepts Bail Bond moneys and other forms of surety to secure the release of an incarcerated individual. When the Circuit and District Courts are closed, Commissioners also consider civil petitions for interim Peace Orders and interim Protective Orders. They are often the first impression of the court for the public and for those having business with the court system in Maryland. According to Courts and Judicial Proceedings 2-607 (c)(3): there shall be in each county, at all times, one or more commissioners available for charging documents, warrants, or criminal summonses and to advise arrested persons of their rights as required by law.
