Confiscated Assets Fund
Who are we
The Confiscated Assets Fund is a special revenue fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures from the sale of confiscated assets. This fund enhances the Special Investigations Section general fund cost center, as well as other special projects with in the Police General Fund. This cost center is funded solely through property and asset forfeitures. State law specifically prohibits the use of forfeited assets for the payment of salaries or rewards to law enforcement personnel. There are no employees assigned to this cost center; however, overtime associated with investigations is included and allowable.
