Officials report DEA task‑force seizures; village expects small share and K9 gear arrival
Summary
Board members reported recent DEA task‑force seizures — $125,000 in gold recovered previously and a recent $700,000 cash seizure — and said the village expects roughly 3–5% of the forfeited proceeds; some K9 equipment has been returned and will be deployed soon.
A board member reported that the local DEA task force recovered about $125,000 in gold from a traffic stop a few weeks ago and that a more recent seizure involved about $700,000 in cash. The member said the village expects to receive between 3% and 5% of the proceeds from each forfeiture under asset‑forfeiture distributions to participating agencies.
The speaker also said some K9 equipment has been delivered and will be on the street shortly. Board members thanked police personnel and singled out Sergeant Travis for action in a recent protective response to a resident.
No formal vote or budget authorization for the seized funds was recorded during the meeting; the item was presented as an update.
