Forfeiture proceeds may be used for which purpose?

• A. Payment of unrelated salaries
• B. Training expenses
• C. Overtime pay
• D. Purchase of vehicles

Answer: (B)

Forfeiture proceeds are intended to strengthen the asset forfeiture program by funding activities that directly support enforcement efforts. Training expenses fit this purpose because they enhance investigators’ and prosecutors’ skills, ensure compliance with procedures, and keep the program effective and up to date. Using seized funds for training builds capacity without creating ongoing payroll obligations or unrelated expenses. In contrast, paying unrelated salaries or overtime from forfeiture funds would convert the seized assets into regular compensation, which isn’t the purpose of these funds, and purchasing vehicles is treated as equipment under restrictions that aren’t the focus of this question.
