Carvalho, Chief of Polies <br /> County of Hawaii Police Department <br /> 399 Kapiolani Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720-3998 <br /> Re: Use of Erniitable 5harina Eunds <br /> Deaz Police Chief Carvalho: <br /> Ttiis is in response L•o your March 30, 2000 letter asking <br /> whether the Hawaii County Police Department (NCPD) may use shared <br /> funds to purehasa property adjacent to the Police H~edquarters <br /> for future expansion of its law enforcement facilities, You <br /> csplained in your latter that the acquisition of the property <br /> will be utilized for law enforcement purposes only and no funds <br /> are currently budgeted for the proposed purchase. <br /> The ~yide to Equitable Sharing (March 1994), provides that <br /> shared funde must be used for law enforcement purposes and <br /> priority should be given to activities calculated to enhance <br /> future law enforcement operations. Because the land purehasa is <br /> for expansion of law enforcement facilities, the proposed use of <br /> randy is permissible, so long as the HCPD is authorized under <br /> 9tatP and local law to acquire and own land. <br /> <br />
