Ready to be Sold <br />Returned to Owner <br />Pencting <br /> <br />The twenty-six fbribitures this year represented the highest number of vehicles seized in <br />oneyear. In 2005, the next highest year, we seized twenty-tbur vehioles. We began <br />tbrtmting vehicles in 1998 and through 2006 a total of 135 vehicles have been seized <br />resulting ftom alcohol or drug otJimseR. We also seize other valuables and cash involved <br />with drug _ activity. The proceeds of drug fbt,fid.tDres, when dispeIBed, are divided as <br />tbDows: l00At to the State, 20% to the County, and 700'{' to the ~tment. <br /> <br />In 2006" the department sold 15 tbrfeited vehioles at auction. These vehicles were seized <br />in previous years extending back to 1999. In addition to selling tbt:lmted vehicles at <br />auction, the ch.partment does, ftom time to time, utilize some of the vehicles tbr police <br />purposes. For example, In 1999 the c1epartment seized a 1994 Jeep that was used as the <br />Inv~ptor's vehiole until 2006. In 2006 we replaced the Jeep with a 2001 :lbrfeited <br />Mitsubishi Mirage and also added a tbrtmted 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 piolmp t:ruok <br />to our CSQ fleet. <br /> <br />Of course, not every vehiole tbr.t.bited is of suftioient value tor resale or dqHlltaleDt use. <br />Yet, the ~tment still removes suoh vehicles :&:om criminals to make it that muoh more <br />diftioult to re-offend. In 2006 three suoh -tbrfeited vehicles were sent to salvage. <br />Additionally, a total of six tbrfeited vehioles were returned to prior lien holdms or owners <br />per statutory requirements. <br /> <br />FolMares in 2006 grossed a totalof$17,711.41. Ofcourse, there are various deductions <br />involved in nmning a infeiture program that are deduded ftom this figure. " <br /> <br />At the olose of2006 the depa.twent's fbrlbbre inventory included 27 vehioles pending <br />fbrther action. <br /> <br />I... <br /> <br />22 <br />
