This project provides for the design and construction of a new Criminal Justice Complex (CJC) on the site of the former District One Police Station located at the north end of Seven Locks Road. The new facility will include a Central Processing/Detention component to support processing new arrestees and detaining remanded individuals for up to 72 hours. Other uses include: District Court Commissioners; Department of Health and Human Services Mental Health Assessment and Placement Unit; Pre-Trial Services Assessment Unit; Public Defenders Unit; and the Police Warrants and Fugitive Unit. The project incorporates technical requirements from the Detention Center Reuse project in addition to updated space requirements developed by an interagency working group. The facility will be constructed in close proximity to the proposed Restoration Center to maximize diversion and deflection opportunities.

Design is programmed to begin in the Fall of 2023. Construction is expected to begin in Spring of 2026.

The project scope has been updated to include the cost of design and construction.

This project is consistent with Council Resolution 13-356 passed by the County Council on December 5, 1995 which approved two jail facilities at two locations - Rockville and Clarksburg - as priority public safety uses. The renovation of the existing Montgomery County Detention Center facility (Detention Center Reuse Project No. 429755) was determined not to be cost effective due to the need for significant capital expenditures, life cycle costs, and continued maintenance as a result of aging systems. It was determined to be cost effective to replace the Montgomery County Detention Center with a new Criminal Justice Complex facility.

The project assumes that fifty percent of project expenditures will be supported by State Aid.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project. The County Executive asserts that this project conforms to the requirement of relevant local plans, as required by the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act.
