This fund was created for the asset forfeiture program, which was
created by the federal government and later adopted by individual
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 the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Treasury
Department. Through these programs, the City receives all vehicles,
and 80 percent of all the cash and proceeds from property sales -which
are shared equally with other local agencies involved in the seizure.
The state program is based on a written agreement with the District
Attorney's office; as a result of this agreement, the City receives (a) all
seized vehicles valued at $1,000 or more, (b) 50 percent of cash after
the first $500, and (c) 50 percent of proceeds from the sale of seized
property after the first $5,000. This is a routine, annual budget.
