A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Rockville depends on where the incident happened.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Rockville
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Rockville that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Rockville Police Department); outside it, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Montgomery County State Police in Montgomery County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries the Montgomery County Maryland-National Capital Park Police (other agency), with a records office of its own.

What the Maryland Public Information Act Requires
Under the Maryland Public Information Act the agency must answer a request within 30 days, with a denial due within 10 working days, and it may charge staff time after the first two hours, plus copying. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at montgomerycountymd.gov/montgomery-county-police-department/how-do-i... (page title: MPIA Records Request | Montgomery County Police Department | Montgomery County, MD).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the State's Attorney, 240-777-7300, handles discovery for pending cases.
