L.E.A.D. spending is police overtime at time and a half

The FY2025 report certifies 12,770.28 expended on L.E.A.D., a school prevention program, under Primary Prevention, Education, and Training (p1 Q6, p4, p5). The FY2026 report certifies 35,034.30 spent on the same program (p1 Q6, p6). The FY2025 report says certified Cherry Hill Police officers deliver the curriculum and that no outside vendor was used (p6, Q21). Neither report says what the money paid for. The books show police overtime and nothing else. Seven payroll lines on accounts -303 and -305, paid 02/28/2025 to 05/09/2025, make 12,770.28 to the cent. Overtime journals and payroll lines on accounts -301 and -305, 09/12/2025 to 05/22/2026, net 35,034.30 to the cent. The payroll register charges every line to department A08155 Opioid Abatement Funds, for officers whose own department is A08113 or A08112. It shows 186 hours for 11 officers in FY2025 and 456 hours for 13 officers in FY2026. The overtime register records every hour as Law Enforcement Against Drugs, at rate 1.5, pay type Cash 1.5. The FY2025 report also files the program under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention and the Schedule B strategy Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms (p5). The books show no naloxone, test strip or other harm reduction purchase. Every dollar is officer overtime. School-based prevention programs are among the uses Exhibit E lists. No curriculum, class schedule, attendance record or evaluation is in the record, so the use is unverified.
