for FY 2007-2008. (Second Reading)
Department: Police Department
Staff Person: Bryan Williams, Chief of Police
Justification:
Each year, the city budgets the funds the Police Department receives through asset

Department plans $305,965 in expenditures that include a mobile command vehicle and
equipment for the new police headquarters building.
Funding:

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.
