Bad Check Program

The Navajo County Attorney's Office, under the leadership of Brad Carlyon, is dedicated to combating the issue of bad checks through its robust Bad Check Program. Businesses throughout Navajo County are unfortunately no strangers to the financial losses incurred due to bad checks, which ultimately impact the entire community through increased prices. In response, the Bad Check Program aims to provide essential support to local businesses and citizens facing losses from bad checks, with the overarching goal of securing full restitution for victims while minimizing the strain on the criminal justice system.

Operated without the use of tax dollars, the Bad Check Program offers practical assistance and guidance to victims, ensuring they can recover their losses without incurring additional financial burdens. By actively participating in the program, businesses can take proactive steps to safeguard their bottom line and contribute to the collective effort in combatting the crime of bad check writing. Victims are encouraged to report bad checks promptly, initiating a process that may result in financial penalties and potential criminal sanctions for offenders, serving as a deterrent against future incidents. Through collaboration and cooperation, the Navajo County Bad Check Program seeks to foster a community-wide commitment to addressing this serious issue and protecting the interests of all stakeholders.
