II. ACCESSIBILITY AND DISBURSEMENT IV. APPLICATION
OF FUNDS
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this procedure is to establish and maintain an expense accounting
procedure for Official Investigative Funds (OIFs) appropriated by the City of Coconut
Creek. This fund is administered by the Coconut Creek Police Department (CCPD) for
use in official investigations at the security level that is necessary to protect the identity
of the source of funds, information, or evidence and provide reasonable accountability
of public funds.
POLICY:
OIFs are intended to be used by authorized Police Department personnel involved in the
investigation of criminal activity, conducting confidential investigations, and for the
purpose of purchasing illegal narcotics and stolen property. Payments may also be made
to Confidential Informants (CIs) whose information is considered valuable in the arrest
and prosecution of criminals. It is the policy of CCPD to establish general criteria for use
of OIFs and to establish procedures for appropriate and reasonable audits of funds
expended for investigation purposes.
