expenditures of forfeiture funds for law enforcement purposes. As a matter of policy,
confiscation funds are typically utilized for capital purchases or one -time, non- recurring
expenses, including specialized- equipment, grant matches and organizational training.
The Miami Beach Chief of Police, Raymond Martinez, reviewed and identified the need
for the. appropriation of these funds and ensured that the expenditures of forfeiture funds
are in compliance with Section 932.7055, Florida State Statutes, and the Guide to
Equitable Sharing of Federally Forfeited Property for Local Law Enforcement Agencies.
These forfeiture funds have been deposited in the Police Confiscation Trust Fund. In

of these funds.

has committed to reimburse officers for the purchase of bullet proof vests. In past years,
along with a confiscation funds, the City offset the reimbursement through a grant from
the Department of Justice's Bullet Proof Vest Partnership. Recently, the grant amended
its requirements to include a mandatory "must wear" policy in place by applying
agencies. Due to this new requirement, the City was unable to apply for the FY 2012/13
funding cycle, as this policy is currently not in place in the Miami Beach Police
Department. As such, the reimbursement for this specialized equipment has been
included in the expenditure of Federal forfeiture funds.
