She was named Executive Director of the Md. State’s Attorney’s Association.
Frederick, Md (KM) A long time prosecutor with the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office is moving on to a new position. Deputy State’s Attorney Kristen Brown was named to and has accepted the position of Executive Director of the Maryland State’s Attorney’s Association.
In this new position, Brown will support elected State’s Attorneys across Maryland, distribute statistics involving prosecution, evaluate and approve Victim Protection and Relocation Program funding, testify before Maryland legislative committees in Annapolis, and prosecute conflict cases.
Since 1999, Brown has been with the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office where she worked in the District Courts, as a prosecutor with the Special Victims Unit, Chief of Violent Crimes, and as Deputy State’s Attorney. As result of her new position, Brown will retire from the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office where she has worked for 26 years.
“This is a tremendous personal and professional loss for me and my office,” says State’s Attorney Charlie Smith, in a statement. “Kirsten has been an outstanding prosecutor and a leader who has done countless good for the citizens of Frederick County. The silver lining that she will continue her good work on the state level with the MSAA.”
