Department: Police Department Text of Legislative File CM -2017-1594 Consider authorizing an Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification form issued by and returned to the US Departments of Justice and Treasury. Equitable Sharing is a program in which the proceeds of liquidated seized assets from asset forfeiture are shared between federal and local law enforcement agencies. Asset forfeiture occurs when law enforcement agencies seize assets (cash and vehicles or other property) used during the commission of a crime, and those proceeds are awarded to the Department by a court process. This program is designed to enhance cooperation among the agencies. The proposed item is a year-end report and agreement for continued participation in this program. That report shows that the Department began FY 2016-17 with a balance of $16,716 in the Law Enforcement Fund that remained from 2015-16's asset forfeiture awards and we received $46,364 in asset forfeiture awards during FY 2016-17 for a total of $63,080. We spent $63,080 of those funds leaving a remaining balance of $0. Forfeiture awards are budgeted in the Law Enforcement Fund, and FY 2016-17 expenditures were used for law enforcement equipment. This is an annual submission to the the U.S Departments of Justice and Treasury. City of Bound Rock Page 1 Printed an ?2/28/2017
