Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2025 report certifies 10,572.00 expended between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1).
Its one program, Dumont Junior Police Academy, is certified at 10,572.00 funded and 10,572.00 expended, with a funding date of 05/09/2025 (p2). The settlement lines show one payment in that period. Innocorp, Ltd. was paid 5,286.00 for Fatal Vision items on purchase order 25-00559, check 112070, on 05/06/2025, from account 4-01-41-999-999. Account 5-01-41-999-999 carried no charge until 08/26/2025. The certified figure is exactly twice the payment. The audit trail prints the purchase twice, once as requisition R25-0507 on 04/07/2025, marked as not included in the balance, and once as the payment. The two rows add to 10,572.00. The Innocorp vendor history from 01/01/2018 shows no other payment to the vendor. The Junior Police Academy's own costs in the period, 724.50 for graduation pizza and 3,696.00 for clothing and bags on 07/09/2024, were paid from the municipal Police Crime Prevention Bureau line 4-01-25-240-282.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 2,834.65 expended between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1).
Its one program, a DEA prescription drug take back run by Dumont PD, is certified at 2,834.65 funded on 04/25/2026 and 2,834.65 spent (p4 to p5). Account 5-01-41-999-999 paid 6,700.00 in the same period. MJPB Consulting was paid 5,850.00 for a freshman opioid presentation on purchase order 25-01142, check 112675, on 09/25/2025. NJ Elks Association was paid 850.00 for a peer leadership registration on purchase order 26-00120, check 113195, on 01/14/2026. The report names the freshman presentation as the year's goal (p2) but counts neither payment. No produced line shows a 2,834.65 charge. Accounts 4-01-41-999-999 and 6-01-41-999-999 are printed only to 05/28/2026, so a take back charge after that date is not ruled out. Any such charge would add to the 6,700.00 the line paid. The certified figure is 3,865.35 below what the books show.
misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 12,950.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 (p2).
The figure is every charge on account 5-01-41-999-999 from 09/01/2025 to 09/04/2026. MJPB Consulting was paid 5,850.00 for a freshman opioid presentation on purchase order 25-01142, check 112675, on 09/25/2025. NJ Elks Association was paid 850.00 for a peer leadership registration on purchase order 26-00120, check 113195, on 01/14/2026. MJPB Consulting was paid 6,250.00 for a high school opioid speaker on purchase order 26-00922, encumbered 07/10/2026 and paid by check 114184 on 08/11/2026. Two of the three were spent inside the period. The third was ordered after it closed. Nothing was open on the line at 06/30/2026. The same report certifies 2,834.65 spent, which leaves out the 6,700.00 the line paid in the period.
fake-encumbrance · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 29,629.00 of unspent and uncommitted funds currently on hand (p2).
It certifies 136,009.59 received since 2022 (p1). 29,629.00 is the balance the audit trail prints for account 5-01-41-999-999 after the 08/11/2026 payment. It is the 42,579.00 appropriated to the line on 05/21/2025 less the 12,950.00 the report certifies as encumbered. It leaves out account 4-01-41-999-999, which held 16,626.00 with no charge after 05/06/2025, and account 6-01-41-999-999, appropriated 17,571.00 on 05/19/2026. The four reports certify 13,406.65 spent in all. On the report's own figures, 136,009.59 received less 13,406.65 spent and 12,950.00 committed leaves 109,652.94. The settlement lines paid 18,236.00 through 09/04/2026.
unspent-misstated · 6 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 59,205.00 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1).
It certifies 93,430.59 received since 2022 and 10,572.00 spent in the year. The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify nothing spent, and the FY2025 report certifies nothing encumbered. On those figures 82,858.59 was left. 59,205.00 is the sum of the two settlement budget line balances at 06/30/2025. Account 4-01-41-999-999 was appropriated 21,912.00 on 06/11/2024 and held 16,626.00 after the 05/06/2025 Innocorp payment. Account 5-01-41-999-999 was appropriated 42,579.00 on 05/21/2025 and had no charge until 08/26/2025. 16,626.00 plus 42,579.00 is 59,205.00. The 28,939.59 of certified receipts never appropriated to either line appears in no certified figure.

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
