Cheryl Delaney, Finance Director
Each year, the city budgets the funds the Police Department receives through asset forfeiture
proceedings, which are held in a Law Enforcement Fund. This year, the Department plans $362,000 in
expenditures that include funding for an electronic citation system and audiovisual tools for operational
and investigative support.
Funding:
Cost: $362,000
Source of funds: Law Enforcement Fund
Outside Resources: None
Background Information:
The asset forfeiture program was created by the federal government and later adopted by states as a
tool to combat the benefactors of crime by seizing the proceeds and tools of their criminal enterprises.
This program targets property, monies, and holdings gained through the commission of state or federal
felonies or used in the commission of those felonies. The City participates in sharing programs with
several federal law enforcement agencies and the District Attorney's office. This is a routine, annual
budget item.
