51. REPLACEMENT WARRANTS – CHECK ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM Approve the issuance of replacement warrants for county warrants related to the Check Enforcement Recovery Program that have been outstanding for more than one year. Necessary affidavits have been filed with the Board. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) Check Enforcement Program endeavors to make victims of bad check writers financially whole by pursuing restitution and holding offenders accountable. This service is offered free of charge to individuals and merchants who have gone unpaid due to insufficient funds. When restitution has been received, the MCAO Check Enforcement Program issues a warrant to the victim. Unfortunately in some cases, warrants are returned to MCAO or remain uncashed because of an address change, an incorrect address on file or changes in merchant ownership. To date, the MCAO Investigations Division has located current contact information for 62 victims who were issued warrants prior to June 2015 that have not been negotiated. MCAO requests the issuance of replacement warrants to these victims in the total amount of $51,813.79. These funds will directly impact victims of bad check writers by making them financially whole.
