Deputies have also been instructed not to take reports under the following special circumstances: 1. If you accepted partial payment of old or bad debts. 2. If you sent the check to a collection agency prior to reporting it to the Sheriff's Office. This can be done after the check has been reported to us. 3. If the check comes back "STOPPED PAYMENT ", and the facts established by the deputy indicate a dispute regarding the service or item purchased or contract disputes, This is a civil matter that can be remedied via Conciliation Court or Collection Agencies. If criminal intent can be established, the deputy will take a report. 4. If the Checks were received by mail or that were placed in a drop box. 5. If the checks are Rent /Security Deposit checks. 6. If the checks are drawn on a out -of -state bank. 7. If the check is post dated. Obviously, you must provide the Deputy with the original check at reporting time. This will be returned to you at a later date for your civil proceedings. On those checks which you accept that are returned as NSF /NO ACCOUNT and are less than $50.00 or older than 30 days, we suggest you use Collection Agencies or Conciliation Court to recoup your loss. We will continue to investigate any forgery, no matter what the dollar amount. Please advise you staff of these changes that will be effective August 15, 1990. If you have any questions regarding this or any other areas, please contact me. Sincerely, Charles L. Zacharias By: Lt. Daniel J.
