25. REPLACEMENT WARRANTS - FELONY PRETRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM Approve the issuance of replacement warrants for county warrants related to the Felony Pretrial Intervention Program (FPIP) that have been outstanding for more than two years. Necessary affidavits have been filed with the Board. FPIP provides an alternative to traditional prosecution and allows eligible individuals to participate in community-based education or treatment programs aimed at promoting long-term behavioral change. One requirement for successful completion is payment in full of all restitution to any victims. When restitution has been received, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) issues a warrant to the victim. Unfortunately, in some cases, warrants are returned to MCAO or remain uncashed because of an address change or an incorrect address on file. The MCAO Investigations Division has located current contact information for four victims who were issued warrants after July 3, 2017, and whose warrants remain outstanding. MCAO requests the issuance of replacement warrants to these victims in the amount of $2,843.35. These funds will directly benefit victims by making them financially whole. (C-19-27-027-X-00)
