The FY2026 report certifies 2,621.78 spent (p1) on one program, LEAD, a police classroom drug prevention course for children through eighth grade (pp4 to 6). It gives the launch date as 1/1/2016 and calls it an annually recurring program. The books show the Township paid for the same program from police appropriations for years before any settlement money touched it. Police line 01-201-25-240-0041 paid two L.E.A.D. Inc convention registrations by checks 63285 and 63286 on 04/09/2019, a LEAD conference hotel reimbursement by check 63681 on 05/28/2019 and a LEAD convention hotel reimbursement at Harrah's by check 73656 on 04/11/2023. Police line 01-201-25-240-3020 paid L.E.A.D. Inc for a Too Good for Drugs kit by check 79928 on 12/16/2025. On 04/20/2026 the Police Department wrote three 2026 LEAD orders against police lines. Check 80684 paid Princeton Health Press 1,908.50 for a curriculum set and 300 workbooks on 04/28/2026, from line 3020. Check 80650 paid Harrah's Resort AC 713.28 for two hotel rooms for four officers at the LEAD convention on 04/28/2026, from line 0041. The next day, 04/29/2026, journals 99 and 100 moved both paid charges onto opioid account 02-213-50-815-4621, each described as Correct PO, Should be Opioid Grant for LEAD. The two journals make the certified figure to the cent. Journal 100 credits line 3020, not line 0041, which paid the hotel. The same day the 1,596.00 registration order 103026 moved from line 3020 to the opioid account. It is the report's 1,596.00 encumbered figure and was paid by check 81067 on 07/14/2026. Line 3020 was adopted at 10,000.00 on 04/02/2026 and stood at 10,713.28 after the journals. Settlement money must add to local spending, not replace it. Every dollar the report certifies is a police cost the police budget had already paid.
