Policy Text
I. POLICY
The Delray Beach Police Department has established guidelines for the seizure and
forfeiture of vehicles, vessels, aircraft, money, and/or property pursuant to Florida
Contraband Forfeiture Act Sections 932.701-932.7062. The Delray Beach Police
Department acknowledges that law enforcement is the principal objective of asset forfeiture.
The potential for obtaining revenues from forfeitures must not jeopardize fundamental
considerations such as public safety, the safety of law enforcement officers, investigation
and prosecution of criminal activity, and due process rights of individuals as provided by
law. The employment, salary, promotion, or other compensation of a law enforcement
officer or attorney will not depend on obtaining a quota of seizures.
The Chief of Police or Police Legal Advisor will be the final authority on what will or will not
be forfeited.
