These funds were related to asset forfeitures from two criminal investigations. Per the 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 police equipment.
