On 1/6/10, the Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Enforcement
(ABADE) made an Equitable Sharing payment in the amount of $11,687.50 to the Kenai
Police Department. These funds were related to asset forfeitures from two different
defendants in 2007 criminal cases on the Kenai Peninsula.
Per the 2009, U.S. Department of Justice Equitable Sharing Guide, equitable sharing
funds used by law enforcement shall be used for law enforcement purposes only.
Permissible uses of the funds include, but are not limited to, law enforcement
investigations, training, and equipment. We are permitted to purchase equipment which
is used by law enforcement personnel that supports law enforcement activities.
I am requesting an ordinance to appropriate these funds to the General Fund, Police
Small Tools to help pay for new police equipment, including:
Portable police radio
3 patrol rifles
Video evidence computer /software
Portable road spikes systems (aka Stinger spikes)
Digital photo cameras
A bore scope (for viewing concealed space).
