INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Section 333.7524 of Public Act 368 of 1978 authorizes courts to distribute property and funds
forfeited through narcotic seizures to participating agencies to be utilized toward the enhancement
of law enforcement efforts related to the Controlled Substances Act. The Prosecutor’s Office has
received forfeiture funds from the reimbursement of expenses associated with forfeiture
proceedings.
The Prosecutor’s Office is requesting a portion of these funds:
• To fund a comprehensive two-day training session on Human Trafficking to be held on
November 7th and 8th 2024 in Oakland County that will be offered to local law enforcement
and mental health professionals in the amount of $20,000
• For prosecutor-specific continuing legal education training from outside agencies such as the
Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (PAAM), the Association of Prosecuting
Attorneys (APA) and the National Association of District Attorneys (NDAA) in the amount of
$60,000.
