24. REPLACEMENT WARRANTS – VICTIM COMPENSATION PROGRAM Approve the issuance of replacement warrants for county warrants related to the Victim Compensation Program that have been outstanding for more than two years. Necessary affidavits have been filed with the Board. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO), through grant funding received from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, provides financial assistance to victims of crime or others who may have experienced financial loss as a direct result of a crime and have had their claims approved by the compensation board. Unfortunately, in some cases, warrants are returned to MCAO or remain uncashed because of an address change or an incorrect address on file. The County Coordinator and the MCAO Investigations Division have located current contact information for ten victims who were issued warrants after September 13, 2019, that have not been negotiated. MCAO requests the issuance of replacement warrants to these victims in the amount of $4,815.22. These funds will directly impact victims by making them financially whole. (C-19-27-026-X-00)
