confiscated assets What happens to them

A look at local governments in Ohio and their use of items confiscated during criminal investigations:

The sheriff in Montgomery County would like to use $1 million from two accounts to fund the salaries of 15 recently laid-off deputies and officers.

Police in Boardman Township used more than $83,000 in seized drug money in December to buy unmarked cars from local auto dealers.

Columbus police used almost $21,000 in forfeited drug money in August to install 50-inch TV monitors at station houses for playing training videos and messages from the police chief.
