Rick Piereck

Calvert County Orphans' Court Judge

Top Issues

Government Reform I will shift the office to electronic files and bring on board modern prosecution tools that will make our prosecutors more effective. Additionally, I will update prosecutor training with a specific focus on technology and case presentation techniques to ensure Calvert County’s prosecutors are equipped and trained to meet and exceed modern prosecution standards. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Criminal behavior can affect the ability to invest in the business, make payroll, or even continue operations. As State’s Attorney, I will work with the business community to ensure that Calvert County is a place where their businesses thrive. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As State’s Attorney I will work with our State and Federal partners to win the fight against opioids, I will ensure equitable treatment to all victims of crime and to those accused of criminal activity, and I will focus on repeat offenders. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As State’s Attorney, I will work with our surrounding jurisdiction to address gun crimes and specifically gun violence. By aggressively prosecuting these cases we will send a message that these types of crimes will not be tolerated in Calvert County. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As States Attorney, I will devote more resources to the prosecution of domestic violence cases. On day one I will assign an additional prosecutor to focus on domestic violence cases. A county with 90,000 citizens cannot afford to only have one prosecutor working full-time to prosecute domestic violence.
