EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 authorized a national asset forfeiture program, which provides a means of punishment and deterrent for criminals who prey on the vulnerable for financial gain. This program also allows cooperating state and local law enforcement agencies to share in federal forfeiture proceeds. The Office of the Lake County District Attorney’s participation in the Equitable Sharing Program with the U.S. Department of Justice was initiated in 2009 when the District Attorney’s Office received a portion of a distribution from a federal asset forfeiture case.
Attached please find a copy of the Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification form that the Office of the District Attorney of Lake County is required to electronically submit to the Department of Justice each year.
This form contains an Annual Certification Report, summarizing the year’s activities. During the fiscal year July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, our Office received and expended $0. There is an ending balance of $0.
