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 submission of this form, 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 Department of Justice and Department of the
Treasury Equitable Sharing Programs. 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 and signed electronically. This will constitute submission to
the Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury.
2. Signatories. This agreement must be electronically 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 attorney, prosecuting attorney, state
attorney, commonwealth attorney, and attorney general. The governing body's head is the head of the agency that
appropriates funding to the Agency. Examples of governing body heads include city manager, mayor, city council
chairperson, county executive, county council chairperson, director, secretary, administrator, commissioner, and
governor. The governing body head cannot be from the law enforcement agency and must be from a separate entity.

that govern the Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury Equitable Sharing Programs as set forth in
the current edition of the Guide to Equitable Sharing for State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (Guide).
4. Transfers. Before the Agency transfers funds to other state or local law enforcement agencies, it must first verify
with the Department of Justice that the receiving agency is a current and compliant Equitable Sharing Program
participant. Transfers of tangible property are not permitted.
S.lnternal 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, joint law
enforcement operations funds, and other sources must not be commingled with federal equitable sharing funds.
The Agency agrees that such accounting will be subject to the standard accounting requirements and practices
employed by the Agency's jurisdiction as supplemented by requirements set forth in the current edition of the Guide,
including the requirement to maintain relevant documents and records for five years.
The misuse or misapplication of shared resources or supplantation of existing resources with shared assets is
prohibited. The Agency must follow its jurisdiction's procurement policies when expending shared funds. Failure to
comply with any provision of this agreement shall subject the recipient agency to the sanctions stipulated in the
current edition of the Guide.
6. Audit Report. Audits will be conducted as provided by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1 996 and OMB
Circular A-133. The Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury reserve the right to conduct periodic
