AGENDA TITLE Presentation of Check to Lodi Area Crimestoppers, Inc.
MEETING DATE: September 18, 1391
PREPARED BY: Floyd Williams, Chief of Police
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Lodi City Council authorize the
allocation of $2,000 in Asset Seizure Funds
to Lodi Area Crimestoppers, Inc., and that
the Mayor and Chief of Police make the
appropriate, presentation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Asset Seizure Funds are generated through
confiscation of proceeds or profit from
drug dealers. A11 money seized goes through
the San Joaquin County District Attorney's
Office and is deemed forfeited by the San Joaquin County Superior
Court. A percentage of that money is then turned back over to the
Lodi Police Department to be used for special purchases or
allocations. Asset Seizure Funds cannot be used to supplement the
regular police budget.
This particular allocation to Lodi Area Crimestoppers will be used �o
supplement reward monies. The Lodi Police Department Narcotics
Bureau receives a great many leads generated through Crimestoppers.
It is hoped this increase in the reward fund will insure continued
success.
FUNDING: Asset Seizure Fund
