A "bad check" is a check that is written on a closed account, or has insufficient funds to cover the amount of the check. Before Officer Brame can begin working on a bad check case, there are certain things that the complainant must do. All bad check cases need to have a "bad check" packet completed. These packets can be picked up at the Communications Center and outline all the instructions that need to be included. You can download the packet as well. Once the packet has been completed, it can be returned to the Communications Center / Officer Brame for follow up. In order for the Police Department to handle such a case, the check must have been passed in Waterville, regardless of where the recipient or the person who wrote the check resides. If the check was passed in another town, that agency will have jurisdiction of the matter.
