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 page (page 5)
submitted by fax. This will constitute submission to the Department of Justice and the Department of 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 attomey, prosecuting attorney, state attorney,
commonwealth attorney, and attorney general. 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 (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 Treasury, depending on the source
of the funds, that the receiving agency is a federal equitable sharing program participant and has a current Equitable
Sharing Agreement and Certification on file.
6. 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 forfeiture fund account.
The Agency agrees that such accounting will be subject to the standard accounting requirements and practices
employed for other public monies as supplemented by requirements set forth in the current edition of the Justice
Guide and the Treasury Guide.
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.
