Worthless Check Program
As consumers and taxpayers, we all pay higher prices because of the losses associated with people issuing worthless checks. Law enforcement spends significant resources investigating and prosecuting people who issue worthless checks. Along with this, the number of worthless check cases increase every year.
In response to concerns regarding worthless checks, the Kenosha Police Department and the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office, in conjunction with Financial Crimes Services (FCS), have implemented a worthless check diversion program.
The main goals of the program are:
- Restitution for victims
- Increase accountability of people who issue worthless checks
- Educate and assist Kenosha County merchants and residents in reducing the number of worthless checks written
- Reduce the costs for investigating and prosecuting worthless check cases
The program is at no cost to the taxpayer or area merchants. It is solely supported by the people who issue the worthless checks.
