We also seized other valuables and cash involved with drug activity. In 2009, we seized a total of $1,446.00 dollars in narcotics forfeitures, of which $368.00 dollars have been dispersed. We also received a total of $15,000.00 dollars in equitable shares stemming from coordinated efforts with the IRS in a 2008 incident. The proceeds of drug forfeitures, when dispersed, are divided as follows: 10% to the State, 20% to the County and 70% to the Department.

These vehicles were seized in previous years extending back to 2006. Forfeitures in 2009 grossed a total of $4,959.00 dollars. Of course, there are various expenses involved in running a forfeiture program that are deducted from this figure. In addition to selling forfeited vehicles at auction the department does, from time -to -time, utilize some of the vehicles for police purposes. For example, in 2009 we continued the use of a forfeited 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue to supplement the Street Crimes Unit work and utilized a forfeited Mitsubishi Mirage for the Investigations division. 31 50
