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.
The FY2025 report certifies 57,912.35 received between 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025, 185,222.01 received since 2022 and 28,841.84 expended in the period (p1).
It certifies 65,452.97 of unspent funds on hand (p1). That is the FY2024 report's 94,294.81 on hand less the FY2025 expended figure, to the cent. It leaves out every dollar received in FY2025. The report's own figures give 123,365.32, the 185,222.01 received less the 61,856.69 the three reports certify as expended. The audit trail for account G-02-201-41-780-020 prints a balance of 65,452.97 after the 06/26/2025 payroll charge (p3). That is the balance of the grant appropriation, not the money on hand. The Township added the FY2025 receipts to the appropriation only after the year closed, by journal 2022 for 41,667.24 on 08/01/2025 and journal 2080 for 16,245.11 on 12/01/2025. Those two amounts are the two FY2025 receipt groups on the Township's receipts schedule (p2). Together they are 57,912.35, the amount missing from the certified figure. On 08/14/2025, the date the report was last updated, the same account printed 104,474.03, so the certified figure is not a balance at filing either.
unspent-misstated · 6 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 220,456.55 received since 2022 and 25,444.50 expended between 7/1/2025 and 6/30/2026 (p1).
It certifies 123,544.13 of unspent funds on hand (p2). The four reports certify 87,301.19 expended in all, 12,462.37 for FY2023, 20,552.48 for FY2024, 28,841.84 for FY2025 and 25,444.50 for FY2026. Received less expended is 133,155.36, which is 9,611.23 more than the certified figure. The books do not give the certified figure at year end either. Account G-02-201-41-780-020 printed 128,200.15 after its 06/25/2026 entries (update p1). The certified figure is the account's 124,408.23 after the 08/20/2026 payroll charge, less the two credits of 485.36 and 378.74 that moved overtime to the Operation Helping Hand grant. Those credits carry references 2253 and 2254, numbered after the 2245 of the 08/20/2026 charge. The report was last updated 09/09/2026.
unspent-misstated · 5 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2023 report describes the Straight to Treatment Program, primary category Treatment, as a program that lets anyone walk into the police department and be put in touch with a treatment provider (p2).
The FY2025 report certifies 28,841.84 expended in that program (p2). It answers No modifications/expansions to the program and No to funding any new program (p2). Under increased community awareness it says the Township sponsored an assembly at the local high school. The books show the 28,841.84 is 26 police overtime charges and one payment to THoffman Enterprises LLC, purchase order 24-01911, check 16783 on 10/25/2024, 9,200.00 for a drug and mental health presentation. A presentation at a high school is not a walk-in referral at the police department. The report certifies it as the same program, unchanged.
program-misclassification · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 25,444.50 to the Straight to Treatment Program (p5), the walk-in program the FY2023 report files under Treatment (p2).
The 25,444.50 is every charge to account G-02-201-41-780-020 in the year. It includes Carrabba's, purchase order 26-00545, check 19446 on 04/17/2026, 1,267.00, described as MSPD Comm Outreach March 28th. Carrabba's is a restaurant. The Township's vendor history for it shows advisory board lunches, employee lunch and learns and a holiday luncheon on other lines, and this one payment on the settlement account. A restaurant bill is not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no listed use covers it. No record of the event, who attended or any referral made at it has been produced.
program-misclassification · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 25,444.50 expended between 7/1/2025 and 6/30/2026 (p1) and gives the Straight to Treatment Program the same 25,444.50 (p5).
That is the gross of the charges to account G-02-201-41-780-020 in the period, 24 Straight to Treatment payroll charges from 07/10/2025 to 06/25/2026, Maple Shade First Aid Squad check 18768 for 675.00 on 11/21/2025 and Carrabba's check 19446 for 1,267.00 on 04/17/2026. On 06/25/2026 the Township credited 485.36 back to the account, entry 2253, move GAP OT to GAP acct 6/25 pay (update p1). The same 485.36 posts the same day to account G-02-201-41-550-011, the county prosecutor's Operation Helping Hand grant (p2). The account's net spending for the year is 24,959.14. The report certifies overtime the Township itself charged to another grant before the year closed.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 20,552.48 expended between 7/1/2023 and 6/30/2024 (p1).
Question 16 asks whether the Township funded any programs using opioid abatement funds in the reporting year. It answers No (p2). The same page updates the Straight to Treatment Program and says that in FY2024 the Township spent 20,552.48 on it. Both answers cannot be true. The books show account G-02-201-41-780-020 paid 20,562.48 in the year, 25 Straight to Treatment overtime charges and V.E. Ralph and Son order 23-00979.

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 Maple Shade Township tell the State it spent the money on?
It certified 4 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?

Articles about this town
Maple Shade Township
Maple Shade Township spends its opioid settlement money mostly on police overtime for a walk-in referral program, and its reports to the State understated the money on hand in FY2025 and FY2026 and certified a school assembly and a restaurant bill as that program.
