Gang Division
In 2017, State's Attorney John McCarthy requested funding from the County Council to proactively address the recent surge in gang related violence and homicides in Montgomery County. The Gang Division is composed of three dedicated Circuit Court attorneys whose objective is to work closely with the Montgomery County Police Department to identify and prosecute gang members who pose a violent threat to the community. Additionally, the Gang Division has members from the other prosecution units in the office to ensure effective investigation and prosecution in both the Circuit and District Courts.
