______________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To have the Collier County Commission endorse the United States Department of Justice and
United States Department of Treasury combined Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification valid through
September 30, 2024.
CONSIDERATION: The Collier County Sheriff’s Office participates in joint investigations in which the Sheriff’s
Office works with the United States Department of Justice and the United States Department of Treasury to enforce
federal criminal laws. Local law enforcement agencies that directly or indirectly participate in an investigation or
prosecution that result in a federal forfeiture by these agencies may request an equitable share of the net proceeds of
the forfeiture. An Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification is required to be submitted annually. The head
of the law enforcement agency and the head of the governing body must approve the Collier County Sheriff’s
Office to electronically file the Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification. The Equitable Sharing Agreement
and Certification, valid through September 30, 2024, needs to be approved by the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners.
FISCAL IMPACT: Requested equitable share revenues will be accounted for separately in the Sheriff’s Office.
Funds will be used to supplement and not supplant Sheriff’s Office law enforcement purposes. The fiscal year in
which the revenues will be received depends on when a case is closed. Total revenues to be received cannot be
determined until cases are closed.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT: Approval of this item will have no impact on growth management.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners endorses the United States Department of
Justice and United States Department of Treasury combined Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification
valid through September 30, 2024.
