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 the 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.
Although there was no activity during the 2019/20 Fiscal Year, this annual report must still be electronically submitted to the Department of Justice.
