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.
Amending a complaint is routine — but many amendments trace back to the same avoidable causes: a renumbered citation, a wrong offense class, a narrative that doesn't track the elements. ComplaintMate is built to reduce those.
Renumbered citations. Statutes move. A citation that was right in 2017 may point somewhere else today.
Offense class errors. The wrong class on the form means a correction before filing.
Narrative gaps. Auto-populated language that tracks the statutory elements, so nothing essential is missing.
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.
