ComplaintMate generates properly formatted Cook County criminal complaint forms from a maintained charge database, so the citation and the narrative are right before the complaint leaves the station.
The charge lookup is where complaint-writing stalls — hunting the right citation, then retyping the whole complaint for every additional count on the same arrest. ComplaintMate collapses that: search the offense, and the current citation and starting narrative load with it. Every added charge reuses the defendant’s info instead of starting over — a three-count arrest stops being three forms. Built on the current Cook County forms with up-to-date citations, so complaints move through supervisor and ASA review with fewer amendments and less rework — the free repositories officers fall back on carry libraries largely dated 2017.
Pick the charge, enter the parties once, and generate the official form.
Full felony complaint with the ILCS chapter, act and subsection and the AOIC code placed on the official form.
Misdemeanor complaint with the same searchable charge selector and auto-populated narrative.
Class C and ordinance complaint, including the defendant description block and ILCS-or-ordinance citation.
ComplaintMate builds the complaint and keeps none of it. No defendant name, no complainant name, no address, no narrative — nothing identifying is written to our database. The only record is a count of complaints generated, by charge.
