Re: Resolution request to add NYS DCJS Aid to Prosecution - Illegal Fentanyl Prosecution
Grant Program funds to 2024 appropriations
The District Attorney's Office is requesting the approval of the Dutchess County Legislature to
add the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (NYS DCJS) Aid to Prosecution -
Illegal Fentanyl Prosecution Grant Program funds to 2024 budget. The full amount of the grant
funding is $300,000. We are requesting $179,076 be allocated to 2024 with remaining $120,924
to be included in the 2025 District Attorney budget request. The additional appropriations will
be used to acquire a fully equipped surveillance van, along with extra equipment and supplies, to
support the District Attorney's Office and the Dutchess County Drug Task Force in investigating
and prosecuting illegal fentanyl activities. 100% of the additional funding will be covered by the
grant award.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dutchess County District Attorney
Program Name:
Illegal Fentanyl Prosecution Grant
Agency Head Name and Title:
Anthony Parisi, District Attorney
Email:
[email protected]
Additional Information:
Date:
August 26,2024
Award Amount: $300,000
Term Date:
April 1, 2023
I am pleased to inform you that your office will receive funding under the Aid to Prosecution -
Illegal Fentanyl Prosecution Grant Program for State Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24. This grant
program was secured by Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature to help
local law enforcement efforts to disrupt the supply of illegal fentany!.
Rather than issuing your grant award through a DCJS contract, the full award amount will be
directly and automatically disbursed to your county in one payment to then be provided to the
district attorney's office.
Please note that this funding is provided to support local efforts to disrupt the flow of illegal
fentanyl and offset the cost of personnel, including those assigned to specialized units, and
equipment to increase prosecution of cases where individuals overdose.
This funding may be used to cover costs incurred on or after April 1, 2023. As this funding is
being provided as a block grant, the funding will remain available to the office until it is fully
expended. DCJS requests that the county promptly make these funds available to the
recipient district attorney's office.
Please also note that the above reference to the SFY 2023-24 date of April 1, 2023 is
included for State budgeting purposes only and is not intended to interfere with local
budgetary planning, which typically operates on a different fiscal calendar.
Please email any questions to the DCJS units provided below. Thank you for your
cooperation and steadfast efforts to keep New Yorkers safe.
