Upon completion of the investigation, a report of findings is created. Each complaint is investigated by the Regional Licensing Office. Anonymous complaints are accepted, so complainants do not need to identify themselves. Complaints may be filed in person, or by telephone, or in writing by e-mail, fax, or letter. To file a complaint, contact the Regional Licensing Office covering the county where the program is located. If you believe a particular child care program is in violation of State child care licensing laws or regulations, you may file an official complaint against that program. The site may also be used to find licensed child care programs and providers, and to link to a wide variety of information about early care and education in Maryland. Visit the Office of Child Care's online child care licensing inspection results site – The site offers detailed compliance findings from child care licensing inspections conducted since January 2011. When submitting your CBC request, you must include the appropriate OCC Regional Office authorization number. Child care programs that have their own State-certified electronic fingerprinting equipment and operators may continue to submit CBC applications. Electronic applications may also be submitted through many State and local police agencies. Click here for a list of State-approved private electronic fingerprinting services and State-operated electronic fingerprinting locations. However, hard-copy applications are still being accepted by CJIS if electronic submission is not possible. Instead, all CBC applicants are being encouraged to submit their applications electronically. Because the Maryland Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) follows FBI guidelines, the use of hard-copy CBC applications at the State level are also being phased out as of that date.
