Certified police and fire budget moves as harm reduction

The FY2025 report certifies 733,825.35 expended under the program Police/Fire Training and Support, first certified in FY2024 with recipient New Brunswick Police and Fire Depts and primary category Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention. The books show that figure is two journal entries and three small purchases. Journal entry 339, posted 12/16/2024 and described as 2024 Police Allocations, moves 240,000.00 from opioid account 01-213-41-130-206 to police line 01-201-25-240-108 Misc. Allocation or Reimbursement. Journal entry 340, posted the same day and described as 2024 Fire Allocations, moves 360,000.00 from account 01-213-41-130-206 and 130,000.00 from account 01-213-41-130-207 to fire line 01-201-25-265-108 Miscellaneous Allocation. The purchases are an Action Uniform rescue pouch of 3,262.50 and a Uline cabinet of 403.75 with 159.10 freight. The six rows total 733,825.35, the certified figure to the cent, and they are every outflow from the opioid accounts between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025. The certified figure is accurate. What it certifies as harm reduction is two lump sum transfers into general police and fire budget lines, with no program, vendor or service behind them.
