5 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.
The FY2026 report certifies 9,042.15 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1).
That is the sum of its two program amounts, the Officer Wellness Program at 2,000.00 (p5) and the School Prevention Program update at 7,042.15 (p7). Account G-02-41-170-200 paid 14,842.07 in that period and took a 1,000.00 credit on 05/31/2026, a net of 13,842.07. The certified figure is every one of those movements but one. Purchase order 25-01202 to Bound Tree Medical LLC for 8 AED Batteries, 4,799.92, was encumbered on 07/01/2025, the first day of the period, and paid by check 38426 on 07/22/2025. Neither program names the batteries, and no other report covers the period. The same check paid a second Bound Tree order, 3,406.44 of medical supplies, from the police Emergency and Safety Supplies line. The Township bought AED batteries in 2023 on purchase order 23-00451, 9,263.76 spread across six current fund lines, and bought AED pads from current fund lines in 11/2023 and 04/2026. AED batteries are not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no overdose program using them is documented.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report updates the School Prevention Program at 7,042.15 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 and reports 2,950 participants served, 300 training or education sessions and 5 services (p7).
It says the Township gives out pamphlets at every community event and works on alcohol and drug abuse prevention with first, third, fifth and 11th grade students (p8). The books show four purchases and one credit. Foremost Promotions, Say no to Drug Chatkis, 765.69, check 39430 on 03/17/2026.

A 1,000.00 credit posted 05/31/2026 with the memo grant used in error xstream band (trust) comes off the total. It takes back a band payment of 05/13/2025 that the FY2025 report had already certified. The five make 7,042.15 to the cent. Nothing was paid to a school, an instructor or a curriculum. The trinkets fit the report's account of materials handed out at events. A Pirate Day payment to Bette's Bounces and tee shirts reimbursed to the police association do not describe a school prevention program. The Township's Community Policing appropriation paid for Pirate Day in 2020, 2022 and 2024 and for Adopt-A-Cop tee shirts in 2023.
program-misclassification · 8 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies one program, the School Prevention Program, funded and expended at 18,649.48 between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (pp2 to 3).
It describes students from first grade through senior year taught prevention by their local police officers, and school district employees given substance awareness training. It reports 2,950 participants and 300 training or education sessions (p3). The account paid 18,649.83 in that period on thirteen lines.

Bette's Bounces, Inflatables for PIRATE Day, 2,613.20, check 38281 on 06/03/2025. XStream Band for Cinnaminson Day, 1,000.00, check 38203 on 05/13/2025. Nothing was paid to a school district, an instructor or a curriculum, and no record supports the 2,950 participants or the 300 sessions. The certified figure is 0.35 below the books. The same report answers Yes when asked whether the Township funded any new program (p2), yet dates this program's launch to 07/03/2017 and says it has been coordinated for approximately eight years (p3). On 05/31/2026 the Township took the band charge back off the account as grant used in error.
false-characterization · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The settlement account pays for events and items that the Township's own appropriations paid for before.
For Adopt-A-Cop tee shirts, the Community Policing appropriation paid the Cinnaminson Police Association 2,516.00 for 2023 Adopt A Cop T-Shirts, check 35654 on 07/18/2023. The settlement account then paid the Association 5,489.25 on 07/17/2024, 3,015.50 on 06/17/2025 and 3,364.25 on 04/21/2026, 11,869.00 in all. For Pirate Day, Community Policing paid a 2,831.25 deposit on 04/07/2020, 3,338.43 to Bette's Bounces for the Pirate event on 06/07/2022 and 2,956.00 for Pirate Day games on 05/29/2024. The settlement account paid Bette's Bounces for Pirate Day, 2,613.20 on 06/03/2025 and 1,718.40 on 04/21/2026. In those same two years Community Policing paid Bette's Bounces 4,483.20 and 3,093.20 for National Night Out and fall attractions in 2025 and 4,736.60 for National Night Out in 2026. For giveaways, Community Policing bought coloring books, crayon packs, mood pencils and gel pens in 2023 and pamphlets in 2024. In 2025 the settlement account paid 5,417.43 on orders described as Community Policing pens, brochures, supplies and water guns. Trunk or Treat was paid from its own line in 2019 and 2023 and from the Recreation Programs and Cinnaminson Day lines in 2022. In 2024 the settlement account paid 1,114.45 for its candy and pizza. In 2025 the event went back to Community Policing and Recreation Programs. The Community Policing appropriation was adopted at 21,000.00 in every year from 2019 to 2026. On 11/12/2024 the Township moved the last 5,251.60 of the 2024 line out with the memo move to uniforms. The FY2025 report itself dates the program it certified to 07/03/2017, and the FY2026 report says the program will be funded every year with the budget and opioid funds. The settlement money paid for costs the Township's own budget carried before.
supplantation · 17 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report lists a new Officer Wellness Program, funded 5/19/2026 at 10,000.00 with 2,000.00 spent, launched 8/3/2020, running 5+ years and serving 33 individuals (pp4 to 5).
It describes an annual mandatory session with a board-certified police psychologist. Check 39660 of 05/19/2026 paid Jennifer Kelly PhD 2,000.00 from the settlement account, three EAP visits of 200.00 and yearly wellness visits of 1,400.00 on purchase orders 26-00779 and 26-00891. The four lines make the certified figure to the cent. The same psychologist's wellness and EAP visits were paid from the Police-LEMHWA (Wellness Act) grant account, G-02-41-460-200, on eleven lines from 12/20/2023 to 05/06/2025, 13,600.00 in all, and from the police Medical Expenses line on 07/22/2025. The police Medical Expenses line also paid her for a pre-employment evaluation on 03/17/2026. The Township's memorandum of understanding with her, with fees for calendar year 2024, sets wellness visits at 200.00 per session per employee, and every settlement line is a multiple of that rate. Check 39891 paid her another 3,400.00 from the settlement account on 07/21/2026. Wellness and support services for first responders who experience secondary trauma are among the uses Exhibit E lists. The settlement money must add to local spending. Most of the earlier visits were paid from the wellness grant account, and the record does not show whether that grant ended. That the settlement money took over a cost the Township would otherwise carry is this project's inference from these records.
