Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2024 report, pages 4 and 5, certifies one new program, Galloway Township Police Department Drug Prevention and Awareness, primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training.
It describes the program as educational resources about the dangers of opioids and connecting people with addiction to community resources. Its key performance indicators are six training or education sessions and promotional materials. The FY2025 report, page 3, certifies the same program again. The purchases the two certified figures are built from include a LeadsOnline investigative system service for 13,605.00, a message board for the Police Department for 20,550.00, Police Department media, speaker, microphone and audio equipment for 4,395.69, four bike patrol training registrations for 625.00, a sex crimes information conference for 650.00, two NJNEOA memberships for 80.00, exam gloves for 520.00, a vinyl wrap for a police F150 truck for 2,969.00 and wraps for two motorcycles and three helmets for 4,095.00. Together they are 47,489.69. The reports name none of these purchases. No record produced shows any of them used in a prevention or education program.
false-characterization · 5 documents · 09/26/2026The FY2024 report, page 1, certifies 41,310.21 expended in the reporting period 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024.
The account paid 14,285.00 in that period. The fifteen payments dated 01/01/2024 to 12/31/2024 total 41,015.21. The remaining 295.00 is line 2 of purchase order 24-01569, PD speaker equipment, encumbered 06/13/2024 and voided 07/03/2024. The audit trail prints that line as not included in the balance. The certified figure leaves out a 600.00 conference paid 12/12/2023, inside the period. It adds twelve payments made between 07/09/2024 and 12/23/2024, after the period closed, totaling 27,330.21. They include the 20,550.00 message board for the Police Department paid 10/22/2024. The program page, page 4, gives the program a launch date of 01/01/2024.
misreported-expenditure · 2 documents · 09/25/2026The FY2025 report, pages 1 and 3, certifies 38,589.34 expended in the reporting period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025.
It is built from the payments in that period before a 21.08 refund, 31,257.09, plus two orders still unpaid at 06/30/2025, plus the same voided 295.00 line the FY2024 figure carries. The two unpaid orders are purchase order 25-01530 for motorcycle and helmet wraps, 4,095.00, encumbered 06/06/2025 and paid 10/28/2025, and purchase order 25-01570 for T-shirts, 2,942.25, encumbered 06/11/2025 and paid 07/08/2025. Twelve payments made from 07/09/2024 to 12/23/2024, totaling 27,330.21 and including the 20,550.00 message board, are inside both the FY2024 and the FY2025 figures. The three reports certify 88,398.55 spent from 2022 through 06/30/2025. The account paid 54,041.09 through 06/30/2025, or 54,020.01 after the refund.
misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 09/26/2026The FY2025 report, page 1, certifies 50,666.46 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent at the end of the period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025.
The same page certifies 89,255.80 received and 38,589.34 expended in the period. 89,255.80 less 38,589.34 is 50,666.46 to the cent. On 06/30/2025 the account held two open orders, purchase order 25-01530 for 4,095.00 and purchase order 25-01570 for 2,942.25, a total of 7,037.25. The report already counts both as expended. The audit trail shows no other order open at that date.
fake-encumbrance · 2 documents · 09/25/2026Purchase order 24-01235, first encumbered 04/26/2024, paid LeadsOnline LLC 13,605.00 by check 9820 on 05/14/2024 for an investigative system service.
The Township's vendor report for LeadsOnline covers payments from every account from 01/01/2018 to 08/31/2026. This is the only payment on it. The FY2024 report certifies it inside the Drug Prevention and Awareness program. No prevention, treatment or diversion program using the system is documented, and police investigative databases are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
non-conforming-spending · 3 documents · 09/25/2026Purchase order 24-02146, first encumbered 09/12/2024, paid Traffic Safety Service, LLC 20,550.00 by check 9907 on 10/22/2024 for a Message Board for Police Dept.
It is the largest single payment from the account. The vendor report covers every account from 01/01/2018 to 08/31/2026 and shows no other purchase from this vendor. The Township certified the board in its FY2024 figure and again in its FY2025 figure. No prevention campaign using the board is documented, and portable message signs are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
non-conforming-spending · 4 documents · 09/25/2026Purchase order 24-02595 paid Dash Medical Gloves Inc 520.00 by check 9941 on 12/10/2024 for PD exam gloves from the settlement account.
The vendor report shows the Police Personnel Expendable Supplies line paying the same vendor for gloves and patrol supplies in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. It paid an identical 520.00 order for exam gloves by check 91665 on 03/26/2024, eight months earlier. It paid 792.00 for nitrile exam gloves by check 95510 on 12/23/2025. The settlement account made the one purchase between them. New Jersey law, N.J.S.A. 26:2G-39(f), requires settlement money to add to local spending, not replace it.
supplantation · 2 documents · 09/26/2026The settlement account paid Kaeser and Blair Inc 8,499.00 for opioid awareness supplies on 02/14/2023, 589.52 for drug prevention stickers on 09/10/2024 and 556.72 for community policing basketballs on 04/08/2025, a total of 9,645.24.
The FY2023 report, pages 1 and 2, certifies the 8,499.00 as the Cops in Schools Program. The vendor report for Kaeser and Blair covers every account from 01/01/2018 to 08/31/2026. It shows community outreach giveaways paid from the Community Policing account C-24-56-850-000-020 in 2020, and 1,585.80 of Cops in School giveaways paid from the same account on 11/15/2022. It shows Cops in Schools purchases paid from Municipal Alliance accounts of 3,069.89 on 05/14/2024, 3,069.87 on 04/22/2025 and six lines on 08/11/2026. It shows community policing supplies of 5,438.63 paid from the Police Personnel Expendable Supplies line on 11/14/2023. The same class of goods for the same program was paid from other Township accounts before and after the settlement purchases. That the settlement money replaced spending those accounts would otherwise have carried is this project's inference. The payments and the accounts charged are documentary.
supplantation · 3 documents · 09/26/2026The FY2024 report, page 1, certifies 1,388.52 encumbered and 78,252.38 unspent.
On 06/30/2024 the account had 4,967.10 of orders open, counting the 295.00 line voided three days later. The certified 1,388.52 equals five order lines to the cent. They are bike patrol training lines of 250.00 and 125.00 on purchase order 24-01344, 125.00 on purchase order 24-01544, a wireless microphone system for 299.00 on purchase order 24-01686 and drug prevention stickers for 589.52 on purchase order 24-01690. The last two were first encumbered on 07/03/2024, after the year closed. The certified unspent figure equals the cumulative 106,597.00 received, less 26,956.10 paid through the check run of 07/09/2024, less the 1,388.52. The period closed with 22,784.00 paid. The program page, page 4, certifies 5,000.00 encumbered, which matches neither. That the balances were struck in July 2024 is this project's inference from the arithmetic.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 09/26/2026The FY2026 report, page 1, certifies 16,304.77 spent from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026.
The account paid exactly that in ten payments between 07/08/2025 and 04/14/2026. They are T-shirts, football jerseys, a pop up tent, yard signs, vinyl stickers, drug awareness footballs, mini basketballs, a first aid metal case and wraps for two motorcycles and three helmets. Page 7 certifies the whole 16,304.77 to the Galloway Township Police Department Drug Prevention and Awareness program. Question 17, page 6, answers No to whether the Township funded any program in the year. The report cannot fund no program and also spend 16,304.77 on one. The motorcycle wraps, 4,095.00, and the first T-shirt order, 2,942.25, were already certified as spent in the FY2025 report, before they were paid. They now sit in both years' figures.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/03/2026From 07/28/2026 to 08/27/2026 the account committed 10,204.04.
It paid Andy's E-Bikes LLC 5,356.00 for e-bikes by check 10162 and Amazon 263.94 for e-bike helmets by check 10161, both on 08/11/2026. It holds open orders for an e-bike rack, 269.10, embroidered e-bike bags from Action Uniform Co, 80.00, and a PD vehicle wrap from Copiers Plus, 4,235.00. The audit trail closes at 87,609.83 on 08/31/2026. No program using the bicycles or the wrap is documented, and neither is among the uses Exhibit E lists. This spending falls in the FY2027 report period.

Correct the recordCan opioid settlement money be spent on police cars or license plate readers?
No. Exhibit E of the national settlement lists the approved uses: treatment, recovery, prevention, harm reduction and related supports. Vehicles and surveillance hardware are not among the uses it lists, and state law bars using the funds to replace money a town would otherwise have spent.The approved uses
What did Galloway Township tell the State it spent the money on?
It certified 9 programs to the Department of Human Services. Each program, its recipient and its amount are reproduced above, beside the payments in the account.See the reports
How was this grade computed?
