Message from the Presiding Judge
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
The Courts and Probation Department continue to look for opportunities to enhance services to the
public and improve access to information through innovative solutions. As you will read in this annual
report, we have found ways to standardize many of our processes, enhanced efforts to collect fines and
fees, expanded the Adult and Juvenile drug courts and expanded the Pre-Trial program. Efforts to build
on the initial success of the Veteran’s court has resulted in increased participation and continues to help
individuals in their personal lives by helping to reduce the cycle of relapse and recidivism.
With support from the Board of Supervisors the Court
received the necessary funding to expand the staff and
judicial office space in the Bullhead Judicial facility. Two
new chambers were added along with space for a judicial
assistant and work and storage space for the clerk of the
court. The completion of this new office area allowed the
court to assign another judicial officer to the Bullhead City
facility on a full-time basis. This resulted in increased access
for the public and allows the court to better manage the
workload and provide greater access to individuals within
the community.
We were pleased to host the Court of Appeals again this year
as they conducted oral arguments at the River Valley High
School in Mohave Valley. Staff continues to work on the 5
strategic pillars outlined in our Strategic Plan with the goal of
implementing programs that ‘deliver timely justice in an
impartial, innovative, and professional manner’. Highlighted within this report are details of many of the
programs that help support efforts to improve court processes and procedures.

On August 7th of this year the Court took time to recognize the centennial of the historic courthouse in
Kingman. During the past 100 years the Courthouse has been a central location for County government
and currently houses five of the nine Superior courtrooms. Chief Justice Scott Bales attended the event
and noted the continued fine work of the courts and the probation department.
We express appreciation for the continued support of the Arizona Supreme Court, the County Board of
Supervisors and County Management in our efforts to accomplish the mission of the Court. I invite you
to read about all of the projects and accomplishments made in the courts during this past fiscal year and
think you will agree that the Judges, leadership and staff deserve our congratulations and our thanks.

Charles W. Gurtler, Jr.
Presiding Judge

Courthouse 100 Year Centennial
Celebration
O

n August 7th 2015 we celebrated the 100 year centennial of the Mohave County Courthouse.
Many guests and members of the public were in attendance for this historic occasion. The
Kingman Fire Pipes & Drums detail entertained a crowd filled with anticipation for the start of
the ceremony. Presiding Judge, Honorable Charles W. Gurtler, Jr. welcomed the audience and
reflected on the vast history of the courthouse. The Mohave County Sheriff’s Department
Honor Guard presented the colors for the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance. The crowd
stood tall with pride while the Lee Williams High School Band played the National Anthem in
perfect unison. A Proclamation from Governor Doug Ducey was read by Michele Regan, the
Secretary of State. Remarks were given by Retired Justice Frank X. Gordon, the only Justice to
hail from Mohave County. Steve Moss, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, shared remarks,
and noted that this gathering represented what was good in America with so many people
coming together to support our local community programs. Current Chief Justice of the Arizona
Supreme Court, Scott Bales, spoke of pride, and admiration for being a part of such a historically
significant occasion in the county. The Mohave County Bar Association presented a plaque to
mark the centennial of the Courthouse. Virlynn Tinnell, Clerk of the Superior Court, presented a
time capsule that was filled with items donated by the Mohave County Museum, multiple
county high schools, key public officials, county employees, local businesses, and members of
the public. The time capsule is to be preserved in a cement tomb in front of the courthouse
World War I Memorial, where it will wait to be opened in the year 2115.

Arizona Disposition Reporting System
(ADRS)

Strategic Pillar I

Serving the Public

The Arizona Disposition Reporting System
(ADRS) is part of the strategic Integrated
Justice plan for the State of Arizona. The
goal of the system is to improve the
reporting of disposition and sentencing
information from the law enforcement and
justice agencies throughout the State. Court
Staff worked diligently to improve the
timely and secure sharing of arrest and
charging information to all appropriate
members of the law enforcement and
justice communities.
General Equivalency Diploma

Beginning January 1, 2014, all Arizona GED
testing transitioned to being administered
solely by computer with emphasis on new
curriculum and content format. The
Juvenile Detention Center brought all GED
preparation classes and pretests in line to
meet the new guidelines. The content
redesign resulted in a four-test format;
literacy, math, science and social studies.
Writing skills are assessed within the
content of two or more of the tests rather
than in a separate writing test. 80% of
Mohave County Juveniles completed the
test, graduated and obtained their GED.

Remote Interpreter Programs

Remote Interpreter Programs are
continuing to be enhanced in the Mohave
County Court System. The Courts were
successful in obtaining a grant that enabled
the installation of several video systems in
various locations that would allow for an
interpreter to be physically located in
Phoenix and appear in the courtroom
through video. The system allows for
simultaneous conversations without the
courtroom hearing the
conversation. Further
expansion of our
interpreter system focuses
on providing interpretation
services to our customers
at the Clerk’s Window.
This is done by the
deployment of multiple
tablets to our Limited and
Superior Court Clerk’s
offices. This service allows
the clerk to connect with
an interpreter within a
matter of seconds for all
interpretation needs.

E-Payments

Mohave County Courts e-payment program is continuing to be a successful
project as over 3000 people visit this page each month to pay for traffic tickets
or pay monthly payments to the courts.

Customer Surveys

After a successful 12 years in Lake Havasu
City, Mohave County Juvenile Probation
expanded Teen Court to Bullhead City. This
nationwide program works with juveniles
12-17 years of age. Each teen must admit
guilt to the offense for which they have
been charged. They must also be willing to
complete the sentence assigned by the jury.
All participants in the courtroom are teens
except for the judge. Teen Court works
because teens are judging other teens.
With Teen Court, positive peer pressure is
the underlying motivational factor.

In an effort to get feedback and gauge
service provided to the public, the Courts
constructed a survey that is posted on our
website and allows the customer to
complete within a matter of minutes, but
still capture useful information. Once the
survey was created we have moved it from
page to page to capture how useful the
page was.

Strategic Pillar I

Teen Law School

Evidence Based Practices

Mohave County Juvenile
Probation/Detention services received
certification as an evidence based court. All
practices and policies are based on
longitudinal research in this area of study.

Statewide Correctional Practices

Effective Practices in Correctional Settings –
II (EPICS II) is being implemented within the
Mohave County Probation Department.
EPICS II is a set of supervision techniques
for corrections professionals to use in their
daily interactions with offenders which has
been proven, through research, to reduce
recidivism. Three Lead EPICS Officers have
been trained, along with three Phase II
coaches.

Serving the Public

The message that Teen Law School sends is
clear – “When you break the law, you put
your freedom at risk.” Mohave County
Juvenile Probation Officers began referring
youth to this program in November 2010.
Since that time, the department has
continued to notice a reduction in new
referrals among youth attending this
program. These statistics seem to indicate
that those referred to this program may be
getting the message. Teen Law School’s
purpose is twofold: to empower kids with
practical and usable information about
Arizona laws and their consequences and to
empower kids with practical and usable
peer pressure skills to help them make
better choices.

Recordation of Judgments

Criminal Statistical Reports

House Bill 2311 allows for Judgments from
Lower Courts to be directly submitted to
the County Recorder Office instead of going
through the Superior Court first. This new
process saves the party wishing to record a
judgment against another party $42.00.

During Fiscal Year 2015 the Administrative
Office of the Courts rolled out new Criminal
Statistical Reports measuring Caseload by
Defendant, Caseload by Charge, Manner of
Sentencing and Manner of Disposition.
These Reports required extensive data
clean-up prior to submission monthly with a
final, fiscal year-end report due and
submitted on 7/31/15.

Strategic Pillar II

Delivery of Timely Justice

Standardization

Team members continued work on projects
involving standardization of procedures and
forms. To achieve this goal reviews of
procedural/desk manuals are being
completed.
The team worked to insure that the same
Financial Statements and Request for
Attorney forms are being used throughout
the Court, Mohave County Jail and Court
Appointed Counsel departments.
Case Processing Flow Charts

Limited Jurisdiction Case Flow Charts have
been reviewed and are now published to
the Mohave County Court website. Finally,
a review of Superior Court Case Flow Charts
is underway with anticipated completion
prior to the end of Fiscal Year 2016.
Arizona Case Processing Time Standards

Phase 1 of the newly adopted Arizona
Supreme Court Case Processing Time
Standards were submitted for the first time
on 7/31/15. This included reporting on
Felony, Civil, Juvenile Dependency, Juvenile
Delinquency and DUI cases from initiation
to adjudication during the months of April,
May and June of 2015. Additional case
types will be reported as Phase 2 and Phase
3 are implemented during the next fiscal
year.

Enhanced Mediation Services

Starting in January of this fiscal year the
Mohave County Superior Court established
a program to supplement mediation
services offered to individuals by having a
mediator available, on site, prior to
contested, emergency and resolution
conferences in family court,
guardianship and dependency
hearings. This new program has
enabled non-custodial
parenting time to proceed in a
quicker, non-confrontational
manner. The program goal was
to provide an alternative
dispute resolution between
mediation and litigation for
high conflict cases.

On February 11th and 12th, 2015 the
Superior Court Infant and Toddler Mental
Health Team hosted their 4th Annual
Symposium in Lake Havasu City. National
speakers presented on topics and research
related to maltreated children involved in
the court system. Close to three hundred
attended from across the state and tribal
land. Steve Pemberton, Fortune 500
Executive, opened the event as the keynote
speaker. Annually this event provides
professionals and community members the
opportunity to learn the most updated
evidenced based practices on children's
issues.

Remote Search Warrants

The Remote Search Warrant process is in
the final stages of testing and
implementation has begun. This project
will allow officers to create the search
warrant in the field, send the document
electronically to the on call Judge for
electronic signature and then back to the
officer. This innovative project will enhance
the delivery of timely justice.
Collection of Fines, Fees, and
Restitution

In Fiscal Year 2015 the Clerk’s Office
entered numerous cases into the Fines and
Restitution Enforcement program (FARE).
Office staff also worked very diligently to
verify and enter individuals with
outstanding monies owed into the Arizona
State Tax Intercept program (TIP).

In October, 2014, Pretrial expanded from 5
days per week to operating 7 days per
week, covering Kingman/Cerbat Justice
Courts, Superior Court and
Kingman Municipal Court.
In April, 2015 coverage was
expanded to include Bullhead
City Justice Court as well.
This program operates with
two grant funded positions
and one position funded by
the State of Arizona. In
September of 2015 the
program will begin to expand
to include the Lake Havasu
City Consolidated Courts.

Due to an increase in the number of PSI
reports, two Deputy Probation Officer
positions were created to help improve the
timeliness of Presentence Reports. The
addition of the two PSI writers helped
ensure that reports were submitted
expediently and enhanced Court
operations. These additional positions
brought the Department in line with other
departments across the state.

Mailbox for frequent Superior Court
customers

A new 60 space mailbox unit was purchased
with money gathered through the Fine and
Restitution Enforcement program (FARE).
The use of the mailboxes was solicited to all
external, and internal entities. The use of
the mailboxes offers individual litigants the
ability to place documents into the intended
parties’ mailbox for pick up at their earliest
convenience. This new initiative also helped
by removing the need for the Front Office
Clerks to sort the documents, thus
improving the services provided to the
patrons that are standing in line.
HID Door System Upgrade

In order to ensure effective management of
staff entry and exit of court buildings, all
door control systems were moved and
combined under the control of one door
security system. This allowed staff to easily
maintain access and security to all buildings
under the Courts’ control.
New Juror Check Writing Software

The technical refresh forced some of the
outdated software that was used to be
upgraded. A new check writing software
was purchased from the vendor already
utilized to create juror questionnaires and
manage the check ledger. This update also
implemented new security features to
protect against fraud.

Courthouse Design Feasibility Study

In January, 2015 the National Center for
State Courts (NCSC) completed a
courthouse design study to assess the
feasibility of constructing a new building in
Kingman. The goal of this project was to
help the County develop a courthouse
construction implementation plan to best
support the needs of the court and to
evaluate the option of building next to the
existing courthouse in light of the historical
significance of the courthouse and the
overwhelming local concern as to the
viability of the downtown Kingman area.
After reviewing the concept proposed by
the County, the NCSC suggested an
alternative that would (1) create a fourstory Court addition in an adjacent parking
lot, (2) build a passageway that would
connect it to the historic courthouse, and
(3) implement a phased renovation of the
historic courthouse and the
annex for the Justice of Peace
Courts. The new plan was
approved by the Court, the
Mohave County Board of
Supervisors, and the City of
Kingman.

During the fall of 2014 construction began
at the Bullhead City Superior and Justice
Court to add additional judicial and staff
work space to the building. This new
construction provided space for two new
Judicial chambers, a judicial assistant office,
court reporter office, clerk’s office, evidence
storage room and general storage areas.
New staff parking was also added on the
north side of the building adjacent to the
new office space. The addition allows the
court to better serve the needs of the public
in the Bullhead City and Fort Mohave areas
and increases access to justice for all.

Mohave County Courts continue to invest
resources to ensure we have adequate
backup systems in place. In order to
accommodate our IT servers that are kept
in a secure environment back-up A/C units
were installed in the server rooms.
Sustaining business continuity throughout
disasters continues to be a priority.

In order to keep technology current and
refreshed and reduce future expenses
several video systems, as well as audio
systems, were pulled out of service and
replaced with new, more advanced
equipment during the past Fiscal Year.
Additional Inputs For BHC Superior
Court Attorney Tables

The Mohave County Courts have made
improvements to services provided to allow
users of the courtroom to easily present
evidence regardless of the medium in which
they choose to do so.
Court IT redesigned the
infrastructure within
the courtrooms to
allow attorneys to be
able to switch between
multiple input devices
directly from each
attorney’s table.

Employee Recognition

The Mohave County Courts understand the
importance of recognition programs and
gratitude in the workplace in building trust
and engagement among court employees
to improve employee morale and customer
service. In 2015, the “Annual Making a
Difference” award program implemented
awards tied to the Mohave County Courts
Strategic Plan to promote achieving
excellence through innovation and
teamwork. The “High 5” peer to peer
recognition program continues to be
promoted among court employees and has
proven to be an effective way for
employees to recognize another court
employee.

Language Access For non-English
Speakers

The Mohave County Courts are committed
to ensuring meaningful access to court and
probation services for persons with limited
English proficiency. In May of 2015, the
Department of Justice recognized the
Mohave County Courts for their work to
ensure equal access for non-English
speakers. “I commend the Mohave County
Superior Court leadership and staff for their
efforts to provide all communities with
equal access to justice regardless of the
language they speak,” said Principal Deputy
Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of
the Civil Rights Division. Training will
continue to be provided to all court staff on
the importance of providing appropriate
language services.
Employee Satisfaction

The Mohave County Courts recognize the
importance of an engaged workforce in
promoting public trust and confidence in
the court system. In October of 2014, the
Mohave County Courts conducted the
Employee Satisfaction Survey. A total of
164 out of 251 employees responded to the
survey for an overall response rate of 65%.
The Mohave County Courts received an
overall satisfaction score of 73%. Court
leadership will use the survey results to
promote a productive work environment
and facilitate organizational development
and change.

Annual Employee Continuing Education

2015 marked the 20th year of the Annual
Mohave County Court and Probation
Conference. To uphold the highest
standard of competence, ethical conduct,
professionalism and accountability, each
year the Arizona Supreme Court requires all
full-time judicial staff to obtain a minimum
of sixteen hours of continuing education.
The annual conference continues to be an
effective way to provide high quality cost
effective training at the local level. The
court has been able to meet the
training needs of its employees at a
significantly reduced cost.

Juvenile Drug Court continued operations
during FY2015 at no additional cost to
Mohave County. Results indicate that youth
enrolled in our Juvenile Drug Court are
drug-free more often than those not
enrolled in the program.

Crossover Youth Partnership

Mohave County Juvenile Probation
Department entered into a partnership with
the Department of Child Safety (DCS) to
manage youth who are involved in the
Juvenile Dependency and Delinquency
systems. This reduces duplication of
services and allows for a unified voice
between the agencies. This model is known
as the Crossover Youth Practice Model
(CYPM).
Investing In Youth Employment

Our Courts Arizona

Our Courts Arizona is an interactive civics
program that provides adult groups with
information about the courts and how
important it is to have fair, impartial and
accessible courts. The program is taught by
Judges of the court to address our
democratic form of government, our rights
and the importance of the separation of
powers and the rule of law. Judges are
available to meet with civic groups or other
organizations that are interested in learning
more about the courts. Sessions are
generally 20 to 40 minutes in length and
can be tailored to meet the needs of the
community.

Mohave County’s Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partnered with the
Juvenile Probation/Detention Department to provide a job coach position for adjudicated youth
ages 16 and 17. This program is known as the EAGLES Program. This partnership resulted in
summer jobs for 18 youth on probation.

Community Collaboration and Outreach

Juvenile Drug Court

On March 5, 2015 the Arizona Court of
Appeals, Division One held oral arguments
at the River Valley High School, in Fort
Mohave. Students from several High
Schools in Mohave County attended the
event along with local Judicial Officers and
City officials. Chief Judge Diane M. Johnsen
opened the event with general remarks
about the State Court process and gave a
brief introduction of the case that was to be
heard. Presiding Judge Charles W. Gurtler
also made some introductory remarks and
thanked the Court of Appeals for traveling
to Mohave County. Following the oral
arguments a panel of three additional
Judges, along with Justice of the Peace Jill
Davis and Superior Court Judge Rick
Williams, answered questions from the
students in attendance. This event
provided students with a wonderful insight
into the Arizona Judicial process.

Charity Contributions

The Superior Court Clerk’s Office chose
“Help Us Knock Breast Cancer Out of the
Park” as the theme for the 4th annual
recognition of October being Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. All monies raised were
donated to the local Kingman Cancer Care
Unit. Also a holiday food drive was
sponsored by the Superior Court Clerk and
employees. The food collected in Kingman
was donated to the Kingman Area Food
Bank, collections in Lake Havasu City were
donated to the Inter Agency Food Bank, and
collections from Bullhead City were donated
to the St Vincent De Paul Society Food Bank.
In all, Court employees collected and
donated eight large boxes of food.
Veterans Court

The Lake Havasu Veterans Court was
implemented in November 2013 and
continues to expand. The Veterans Court is
a problem solving court that is intended to
serve veterans struggling with addiction,
serious mental illness and/or reoccurring
disorders. There are currently 50 veterans
in the program, and 27 veterans have
successfully graduated from the program.
Of the 27 graduated veterans, there has
been zero recidivism rate. The program has
also helped homeless veterans find housing
and employment. The average length of the
program is 216 days.

M.O.R.E. Program – Mohave
Opportunities, Rehab and Education

In March of 2015, the Kingman/Cerbat
Justice Court participated in a post
adjudicated pilot program, involving
individuals who have entered guilty pleas on
drug offenses. Through the program
defendants/ participants were given the
opportunity to have their drug counseling,
drug tests and transportation all paid. In
exchange for this, defendants had to
complete extra community work service
and comply with stricter probation
guidelines. Participant/ defendants were
also ordered to attend Mohave County’s
One Stop Employment program, if they
were not already employed, and were given
good incentives to assist with certain fees if
they obtained a G.E.D. while in the program.
Everyone involved with this program
believes it is not a drug court but more
of a Quality of Life Court.
