Step 1: Find out which court your case is in
Look at the top of your court paperwork. In Lake Havasu City the name usually points to one of three courts. The Lake Havasu Justice Court is in Suite 148 at 2001 College Drive, and its page lists separate phone lines for orders of protection, pending felony and misdemeanor cases, and post-sentencing misdemeanor cases. Mohave County Superior Court has its Lake Havasu City office in the same College Drive building. The city's municipal court relocated to 92 Acoma Blvd. S. in December 2023, according to a county court notice, so ignore any older paper that sends city cases to College Drive.
Knowing the right court matters because the class requirement, the deadline and the place your proof goes all come from that court's order.
Step 2: Pull the details out of your order
With the paperwork in front of you, write these down on one sheet:
- the case number
- the number of hours or sessions required
- the due date for proof of completion
- any wording about format, such as in person or a specific type of program
- whether you are on supervised probation
If anything is unclear, don't guess. Keep the original papers somewhere safe and carry a copy or a photo on your phone, since you'll be reading details from them on several calls. Then go to Step 3.
Step 3: Ask the court or your probation officer before you enroll
Only the court or your probation officer can say whether a particular class fits your order. The Superior Court in Mohave County lists Probation Department offices in Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City and St. George, Utah, so if you are supervised, your officer may well be local. Ask them:
- Is there a list of programs I must choose from?
- Will live online sessions count?
- Who receives the completion letter, and in what form?
- Can I get an extension if a group is full?
For questions to the court itself, remember the Superior Court office on College Drive closes from noon to 1:30 on weekdays. Call or visit outside that window.
Step 4: Shortlist two or three providers
Use the directory listings to find providers whose class length and format match what the court or your officer told you. Call each one and ask:
- When does the next group start, and on what days and times?
- How many weeks does the full program run?
- What happens if I miss a session?
- What does the completion letter include, and how quickly is it issued after the last session?
- Is the group in person, online or both?
Keep notes on each call. A provider that can't answer clearly about attendance records is one to set aside.
Step 5: Test the schedule against your real life
If your work follows the lake season, your hours may change partway through a program. Before you commit, look at your work calendar for the whole length of the program, not just the next two weeks. If you work weekends in the busy season, a weekday evening group may be the safer choice.
Then plan the trip. Drive the route at the time of day the class meets, or map it if you ride with someone else. In the hot months, avoid any plan that leaves you walking long stretches in the afternoon.
Step 6: Enroll and keep your own records
When you sign up, get the start date, the meeting place or link, and the provider's contact details in writing. Keep a simple log: date, session number, and a note if anything unusual happened. Save any receipts. If something goes wrong partway through, these notes help you explain the gap to your officer or the court.
Step 7: Deliver proof and confirm it arrived
After the last session, ask for your completion letter right away. Check that your name and case number are correct. Deliver it the way the court or your officer told you to, whether that is the clerk at College Drive, the municipal court on Acoma, or your probation officer. A few days later, call and confirm it is in your file.

This site lists independent providers and introduces you to them. It doesn't run classes or check credentials, and it can't decide whether a program fits your order; only the court or your probation officer can.
