Law enforcement agencies benefit from drug money

Attorney General Marty Jackley announced today that several law
enforcement agencies throughout the state have been given awards from the Attorney General’s Drug Control Fund.

The Drug Control Fund is funded by drug forfeiture monies to be used for enforcement in drug control and apprehension purposes. The award money distributed for this most recent cycle totaled $394,509.91.

“The Drug Control Fund helps law enforcement to better protect communities by funding local programs with monies seized from drug arrests. We are funding a number of requests including several for body worn cameras to assist agencies throughout the state to improve their levels of public trust and improve public safety,” said Jackley.
