A completed complaint form for each check submitted.
A copy of the 10-day letter that you sent to the offender with the receipt for certified mail.
The original check(s) returned by the bank or bank certified copies.

Failure to provide all of the items listed above, necessary for processing the check, will require their return to you. Please take care to compile all of the items necessary for collection and/or prosecution prior to submission.

Do NOT send bad checks to the police department. All local law enforcement agencies are inundated with work. The Clark County District Attorneys Office has worked with local law enforcement agencies to by-pass them on matters of insufficient funds checks so that their time may be more appropriately devoted to other areas of public safety.
