Equitable Sharing Agreement
This Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement, entered into among (1) the Federal Government (2) the above -stated law
enforcement agency ("Agency"), and (3) the governing body, sets forth the requirements for participation in the
federal Equitable Sharing Program and the restrictions upon the use of federally forfeited cash, property, proceeds,
and any interest earned thereon, which are equitably shared with participating law enforcement agencies.
By its signatures, the Agency agrees that it will be bound by the statutes and guidelines that regulate shared assets
and the following requirements for participation in the federal Equitable Sharing Program. Receipt of the signed
Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification (this "Document") is a prerequisite to receiving any equitably shared
cash, property, or proceeds.
1. Submission. This Document must be submitted to aca.submit@usdoj.gov within 60 days of the end of the
Agency's fiscal year. This Document must be submitted electronically with the Affidavit/Signature submitted by fax.
This will constitute submission to the Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury.
2. Signatories. This agreement must be signed by the head of the Agency and the head of the governing body.
Examples of Agency heads include police chief, sheriff, director, commissioner, superintendent, administrator,
chairperson, secretary, city attorney, county attorney, district attorney, prosecuting attorney, state attorney,
commonwealth attorney, and attorney general. The governing body's head is the person who allocates funds or
approves the budget for the Agency. Examples of governing body heads include city manager, mayor, city council
chairperson, county executive, county council chairperson, director, secretary, administrator, commissioner, and
governor.
3. Uses. Any shared asset shall be used for law enforcement purposes in accordance with the statutes and guidelines
that govern the federal Equitable Sharing Program as set forth in the current edition of the Department of Justice's
Guide to Equitable Sharing for State and Local Law Enforcement (Justice Guide), and the Department of the Treasury's
Guide to Equitable Sharing for Foreign Countries and Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (Treasury
Guide).
4. Transfers. Before the Agency transfers cash, property, or proceeds to other state or local law enforcement
agencies, it must first verify with the Department of Justice or the Department of the Treasury, depending on the
source of the funds, that the receiving agency is a current and compliant Equitable Sharing Program participant.
S. Internal Controls. The Agency agrees to account separately for federal equitable sharing funds received from the
Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury. Funds from state and local forfeitures and other sources
must not be commingled with federal equitable sharing funds. The Agency shall establish a separate revenue
account or accounting code for state, local, Department of Justice, and Department of the Treasury forfeiture funds.
Interest income generated must be accounted for in the appropriate federal equitable sharing account.
The Agency agrees that such accounting will be subject to the standard accounting requirements and practices
employed for other public funds as supplemented by requirements set forth in the current edition of the Justice Guide
and the Treasury Guide, including the requirement in the Justice Guide to maintain relevant documents and records for
five years.
The misuse or misapplication of shared resources or the supplantation of existing resources with shared assets is
prohibited. Failure to comply with any provision of this agreement shall subject the recipient agency to the sanctions
stipulated in the current edition of the Justice or Treasury Guides, depending on the source of the funds/property.
6. Audit Report. Audits will be conducted as provided by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB
Circular A-133. The Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury reserve the right to conduct periodic
random audits.
