DISCUSSION The Police Department participates in Equitable Sharing Programs (asset forfeiture) through various Federal, State and local agencies. Each agency requires segregation of funds for auditing purposes. The City has set these segregated funds in Fund 26, Criminal Activities, in which there are five separate activities (26-340, 26-342, 26-343, 26-344, and 26-345).

This requires the Police Department to recognize and appropriate revenues received during a fiscal year, independently of the annual budget process.
