DOJ OIG Releases Report on the Audit of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport Police Department’s Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 Equitable Sharing Program Receipts and Disbursements, Hebron, Kentucky

Audit of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport Police Department's Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 Equitable Sharing Program Receipts and Disbursements Hebron, Kentucky Read Report Department of Justice (DOJ) Acting Inspector General William M. Blier announced today the release of a report assessing whether the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport Police Department (CVG PD) accounted for DOJ equitable sharing funds properly and used such revenues for permissible purposes from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024.   As part of the DOJ Asset Forfeiture Program, state, local, or tribal law enforcement agencies that directly participate in an investigation or prosecution resulting in a federal forfeiture may claim a portion of the forfeited cash, property, and proceeds to use for law enforcement purposes. For Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024, CVG PD received $1,416,307 and spent $918,605 in equitable sharing funds.   The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that CVG PD accounted for and used its DOJ equitable sharing funds for law enforcement purposes. However, the OIG found that the CVG PD did not ensure vendors for all qualified purchases were registered in SAM.gov and were not suspended or debarred from doing business with the federal government. The OIG also found that the CVG PD did not have adequate property management controls for equipment purchased with equitable sharing funds.   We made two recommendations to the Criminal Division to assist in its oversight of CVG PD's equitable sharing program receipts and disbursements. The Criminal Division and the CVG PD agreed with the recommendations.
