Police Detective Talks
About Bad Check Artists
"The bad check artist is a
professional man and is proud
of his profession." So stated
Medford Police Detective Lt.
Lyle Perkins in a talk Thurs
day evening at the Girls Com
munity club.
Speaking on the bad check
passer and what the public
can do to assist the law en
forcement agencies in appre
hending them, the officer also
stressed rules that should be
followed by persons who ac
cept checks for cashing.
The speech was given be
fore the Medford Business and
Professional Women's club.
"Between $7 , and $8 hun
dred million worth of fic
titious and forged checks
were passed during 1958," the
lieutenant reported, "and that
amount represents the report
ed total. Many bad checks are
not reported to authorities."
In citing several cases
which occurred in Medford,
Lt. Perkins explained that bad
check artists operate in va
rious ways. He said that it
wasn't uncommon for a per
son to remain in town for
several months, making
friends and meeting business
men before flooding the area
with fictitious checks and
then leaving.
Methods Explained
Lieutenant Perkins explain
ed that it was common for the
bad check artist to print his
own checks after first steal
ing one from a business for
use as a sample. His equip
ment can also include notary
seals, checfc protectors, or
company seals.
"The police can not appre
hend the bad check passer
until they are notified by the
bank or company involved
The use of state wide tele
type has assisted greatly local
enforcement in the catching
of these persons, the officer
explained.
Locally the Medford police
department and the Credit
Bureau of Medford have co
operated in organizing the
check flash system. Using this
system businesses throughout
the area may be alerted to
the presence of a bad check
passer in the area.
The officer explained that
as soon as the police are noti
fied of a fictitious or forged
check being passed in the area
they call three or four busi-
year!

nesses who in turn contact the
same number. Through this
system the businesses may be
alerted in a short time.
The local police department
each year passes out literature
to each store in town offering
suggestions about- cashing
checks.
Residents who are cashing
checks can assist the stores
by offering indentif ica-
tion when requested for it.
The officer added that not
one but several types of identi
fication should be used -in
establishing identification be
fore a check is cashed.
Suggestions Made
The officer made several
suggestions that should be fol
lowed by persons who are ac
cepting checks. They include:
1. Do. not be afraid to ask
questions about the check you
are asked to cash; . 2. Never
cash" a check for a stranger
until positive identification is
established, insist on local
references and then check
them carefully; 3. Do , not
rely entirely on lodge cards,
social security cards and op
erators licenses as positive
identification; 4. The check
passer works fast, take time
to investigate each check pre
sented; 5i Do not cash checks
showing any alterations; 6. Al
ways be sure the endorsement
is made in your presence, if
the check has already been
endorsed, have it re-endorsed;
7. Refuse to cash a check on
an out-of-town firm or bank
unless you are absolutely cer
tain of the passer's identity
and the validity of the check
itself; 8. Refuse to cash a
check if the firm name is
rubber stamped or typewrit
ten unless you personally
know botri the maker and the
payee.
9. Do not cash checks for
juveniles; 10. Do not cash
counter checks unless you
know the identity of the pas
ser, be suspicious of number
ed counter checks; 11. Use
same precaution ' in cashing
checks that appear to be cash
iers' checks or a certified
checks as you would, other
checks; and 12. If the passer
has an automobile and there
is doubt in your mind about
the validity of the check, at
tempt to secure the license
number " whether or not you
cash the check,: then ' notify
the police. ;
The local officer added that
just because a check is a state
or federal government one, it
does not mean that it is always
good. :
He added that in accepting
identification when cashing
checks write such numbers
as operators license, etc. on
the back of the check.
The officer showed samples
of various fictitious and
forged checks that had been
turned over to the police for
investigation. '
Following the talk a ques
tion and answer period was
held.
The speaker was introduced
by Mrs. Lola Milhoan, finance
committee chairman, who was
in charge of the program.
The dessert meeting was ar
ranged by Mrs. Verna Thatch
er, chairman of the national
security committee.
Following the program Miss
Laura York, chairman of the
state convention of Oregon
Federation of BPWC held
here last week end, reported
on the three-day event.
It was announced that Na
tional Business and Profes
sional Women's week will be
