NON-RNSP CONTRACTED PATROL AND INVESTIGATION OFFICERS. When assets (cash or property) are seized in CITY by contracted patrol or investigation personnel other than RNSP personnel, and subsequently forfeited to COUNTY, the forfeited assets shall be shared with CITY as set forth below, for the purpose of augmenting law enforcement services in CITY, subject to approval by the forfeiting agency (U.S. Attorney or State) of such sharing and use of forfeited assets. A portion of forfeited assets may be retained by COUNTY’s Sheriff Department, hereinafter referred to as “SHERIFF”, to pay for departmental expenses not recovered through law enforcement contracts. In such cases, SHERIFF shall apply to the forfeiting agency for the return of a share of the assets to COUNTY. In his application, SHERIFF shall specify the percentage of shared assets returned to COUNTY that will be used to augment law enforcement services in CITY and the use of said assets by CITY. In those cases in which assets are seized within CITY by non-RNSP personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement, without the involvement of other law enforcement personnel, and in which the seizure is a result solely of activities self-initiated by non-RNSP SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY or initiated by said personnel in response to calls for service within CITY, SHERIFF shall apply to have all of the assets used to augment CITY law enforcement services. In those cases in which non-RNSP SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement play an ancillary role in a seizure or in which other law enforcement personnel are involved in a seizure, SHERIFF shall determine the percentage of the total forfeited assets for which he will apply to augment CITY’s law enforcement services. This determination will be based on the circumstances of the seizure, including the pro-rata involvement of all personnel, including those assigned to CITY. Each seizure will be evaluated on an individual and independent basis, and said evaluations will be available for review to CITY’s manager. Examples of those incidents which would be evaluated as set forth in this section include situations in which a contract patrol deputy provides uniformed backup at a SHERIFF’s Narcotic Bureau search warrant location or in which contract investigators participate in the service of a search warrant that was initiated by non-contract law enforcement personnel.
