The Evanston Police Department and the Circuit Court of Cook County are not collection agencies. If any amount of restitution is accepted, it is no longer a criminal case. All checks must be in original condition and left as evidence with the detective. If payment is stopped after the issuance date, it is a civil case and will not be investigated by the Evanston Police Department. If the payment was stopped before the check was issued, many times it was lost or stolen from the account holder and forged.
