Findings

6 findings.

Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.

Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.

01

The FY2026 report lists a new program named Opioid/Fentanyl Field Testing Equipment (Sirchie) at 1,310.64 funded and spent, primary category Diversion and Re-entry Support, Schedule B strategy First Responders, 68 individuals served (pp16 to 19).

It says the money bought field testing equipment that lets officers identify suspected opioids and fentanyl analogs without direct physical contact, from a sole source vendor chosen for its fentanyl-safe field testing products. The account paid Sirchie Finger Print Lab 1,310.64 on purchase order 25-01639, encumbered 08/19/2025 and paid by check 237 on 01/27/2026, from account G-02-41-723-000-280. The ten lines are a blood and urine specimen kit 87.20, a zip-top evidence bag 60.08, blank evidence tags 31.06, preprinted evidence envelopes 31.42, a preprinted kraft evidence bag 39.82, a syringe transport tube 152.30, integrity evidence bags at 154.42, 237.85 and 317.12, and shipping 199.37. No test kit, reagent or analyzer is on the order. The order is evidence packaging and specimen supplies, so the report's account of what the money bought and the order itself cannot both be true. No diversion program is described or documented, and no listed use covers evidence supplies. The City's vendor report shows it bought the same kinds of Sirchie supplies from police operating lines on ten orders from 2018 to 2024.

02

The FY2025 report lists a program for Vector Solutions opioid training and compliance tracking at 39,730.70 funded and expended, recipient Vector Solutions, funding date 09/01/2024 (pp3 to 5).

It certifies the procurement as a direct annual subscription to Vector Solutions. The City paid Vector Solutions 18,380.70 from its opioid accounts on purchase order 25-00891, encumbered 04/09/2025 and paid by check 217 on 06/10/2025, seven lines of opioid training software across accounts G-02-41-722-000-555 and G-02-41-724-000-259 to -264. The City's vendor report for Vector Solutions, covering every fund from 01/01/2018 to 08/31/2026, shows 31,882.82 paid in all. The other 13,502.12 is Guardian Tracking, charged to the police Other Contractual Items line on 02/25/2025 and 02/17/2026. The certified figure is 21,350.00 more than the opioid accounts paid Vector Solutions, and 7,847.88 more than the vendor received from every City fund from 2018 through 08/31/2026. The opioid accounts also paid 43 police officers 400.00 each for opioid training in FY2025, 17,200.00, which no program in the report names. The subscription and the officer payments together come to 35,580.70, still short of the certified figure. The report's figure and the City's own vendor record cannot both be true.

The FY2026 report lists a new program named Outrun Opioids at 5,450.00 funded and spent, primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, Schedule B strategies Prevent Misuse of Opioids and Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms, 1,500 individuals served (pp6 to 11).

It describes a community-donated vehicle wrapped in custom Garfield Police Department graphics with a QR code linking to a 24/7 addiction support hotline, and says the settlement money paid for the wrap and its installation. The account paid 506 Wraps LLC 5,450.00 for a custom wrap, design and installation on purchase order 25-02220, check 233, on 12/29/2025, from account G-02-41-724-000-467. It is the only payment the City has made to 506 Wraps from any fund from 2018 through 08/31/2026. The same report says performance indicators are still being developed, measurement methods have not been finalized, and the program is an awareness and referral mechanism rather than a direct clinical intervention. Exhibit E lists prevention media campaigns within evidence-based or evidence-informed programs. No such program built on the wrap is documented, and police branding on a vehicle is not among the uses Exhibit E lists.

The FY2026 report lists a new program named Night Out 2025 Let's Knock Out Opioid Use Together at 2,600.00 funded and spent, primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, Schedule B strategies Connections to Care, Prevent Misuse of Opioids, and Leadership, Planning and Coordination (pp11 to 16).

It says the settlement money paid only for DJ and microphone rental, 400.00, and bounce house inflatables, 2,200.00, to raise turnout at the 08/05/2025 event at Century Field. The account paid All Star Events NJ 400.00 for an item the ledger describes as DP, wireless mic and outdoor speaker, on purchase order 25-01731, check 53956, on 09/09/2025. It paid Over the Luna Bounce House Co. 3,200.00 less a 1,000.00 discount on purchase order 25-01808, check 54096, on 09/23/2025, for an Extreme Rush blow up, a Disney Princess bounce house, a Mickey Mouse playground combo, a castle, a generator, an attendant and distance charges. The two payments make the certified figure to the cent. The report names entertainment rentals and certifies them as an opioid prevention program. Exhibit E lists evidence-based or evidence-informed prevention programs, and no prevention program built on a DJ or inflatables is documented.

The City's vendor report for Sirchie Finger Print Lab, covering every fund from 01/01/2018 to 08/31/2026, shows ten purchase orders from 2018 to 2024 totaling 2,164.53, for blood kits, evidence supplies, a Faraday kit and detective bureau supplies.

Each was charged to a police operating line, Miscellaneous Expenses 25-240-240-063, Materials and Supplies 25-240-240-030 or Postage 25-240-240-022. The most recent, purchase order 24-00711, bought a blood and urine specimen kit for 82.05 in 2024. The next order, 25-01639, bought a blood and urine specimen kit, evidence bags, tags and envelopes for 1,310.64. It was charged to the opioid account G-02-41-723-000-280 and paid by check 237 on 01/27/2026. No Sirchie purchase appears on any other City account through 08/31/2026. The settlement money paid for supplies the police budget had bought for years. N.J.S.A. 26:2G-39(f) requires settlement money to add to local spending, not replace it.

Frequently asked questions

Can 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 Garfield tell the State it spent the money on?

It certified 13 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?

By code, from a published rubric: reporting integrity 50 percent, spending conformity 40 percent, transparency 10 percent, with hard caps for a certified program that has no payee in the books, for an uncertified transfer out, and for a records refusal.The rubric
