The FY2026 report certifies three programs whose spent figures add to 8,914.79. Crisis Intervention Team Training is a new program at 5,298.47, recipient New Milford Police Department, described as a 5 day 40 hour certification for first responders, funded and launched 12/02/2025, with 5 individuals served and the primary category Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention (pages 4 to 6). Police Participation in Municipal Alliance is updated at 3,296.84 (page 6) and DEA Drug Takeback at 319.48 (page 7), both for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026. The books show one entry behind all three. A journal dated 12/02/2025, POLICE SW OFFICER OPIOID PROG PARTICIPATION, charged 8,914.79 to settlement account 01-2910-99-7800. The same day the same 8,914.79 posted as a credit, OPIOID PROG PARTICIPATION REIMB, to the police salary and wages regular line 01-2010-25-2401-136. The Police Department's request of 12/02/2025 behind the journal lists 23 lines of officer hours. They are CIT class days for three officers at 3,616.32, L.E.A.D. 5th grade classes at 2,643.51, a Project Graduation night detail at 2,226.52, a Take Back detail at 319.48 and an A.D.A.M. event at 108.96. Of the 8,914.79, 8,126.31 is officer time dated 01/28/2025 to 06/24/2025, before the reporting year began and before the program's launch date. The report describes a certification course and police participation in the Alliance and never says salary. The books show a reimbursement of police salary costs, credited to the Borough's own police salary line. A program launched on 12/02/2025 cannot be officer time worked in the first half of 2025.
