August 3, 1990 <br />RE: Ramsey County Sheriff's Policy change regarding minimun <br />dollar amount and time passage requirements before a report <br />and investigation will commence. <br />Dear Sir, <br />Enclosed you will find the revised policy of the Ramsey <br />County Sheriff's Office regarding the requirements <br />for acceptance and investigation of NSF /NO ACCOUNT checks. <br />This policy will be effective August 15, 1990. <br />These changes are consistent with those adapted by other <br />surrounding jurisdictions long ago. <br />The most significant requirement change is the dollar <br />amount of the check to be at least $50.00 and no longer <br />than 30 days passage from the acceptance of the check and <br />the reporting to the Sheriff's Office for investigation. <br />Additionally, we have included some identification and <br />criminal intent elements to also be present prior to <br />accepting the report and conducting any investigation. <br />This should have the impact of lessing your work load on <br />minor check offences, and allow us to reallocate our <br />resources more appropriately. As always, we will continue <br />to investigate all forgery complaints, regardless of dollar <br />value. <br />If you have any questions regarding this change, please <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Charles L. Zacharias <br />By: Lt. Daniel J. Votel <br />Commander — Investigative Units <br />Page 37 <br />
