SUBJECT: Request ordinance appropriating drug seizure funds
In June 2011, the Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Bureau of Alcohol and Drug
Enforcement (ABADE) made an Equitable Sharing payment in the amount of $480 to the
Kenai Police Department. These funds were related to asset forfeitures from a 2009
drug investigation.
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 —
Operating and Repair Supplies Account to help pay for law enforcement equipment, to
include protective equipment.
