Re: Resolution request asset forfeiture funds to 2025 appropriations
I respectfully request that a resolution be prepared authorizing the expenditure of post-conviction
asset forfeiture funds by my department. These funds were seized and forfeited pursuant to
federal statutes, in accordance with the United States Code and Article 13-A of the CPR. In
compliance with governing guidelines, these monies are restricted to use in support of law
enforcement training, equipment, and operations, and may not be used to supplement routine
budgetary expenses. The request outlined in this resolution fully adheres to these requirements.
My office has verified that post-conviction asset forfeiture proceeds are available for
appropriation from A.9998.95110.01 - Asset Forfeiture State Reserve.
The District Attorney's Office seeks to:
• Contribute to the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department for expenses related to updating
equipment in an existing covert surveillance van. The upgrade will allow personnel to remotely
access the camera system and monitor activity in real time from multiple locations.
• Contribute to the Town of East Fishkill Police Department for expenses related to
implementing AXON's Draft One -- a generative Al platform that uses body camera audio to
produce high-quality draft report narratives within seconds.
Thank you for your consideration.
