It describes the program as 4 to 6 large-scale multidiscipline events a year that the Mount Laurel Police Department hosts, and it files the program under primary category Treatment, with Treat Opioid Use Disorder first among its Schedule B strategies. The FY2025 and FY2026 reports update the same program at 92,912.89 and 159,124.11. The account paid 281,181.92 from 12/12/2023 through 06/30/2026, and those payments make the three figures to the cent. Of that, 168,974.30 is Township payroll with no title or hours. The rest is event food from Chick-fil-A, Wegmans and McDonald's, hygiene kits, clothing, toys and giveaway goods, an 8.5 by 20 trailer, one line of a police vehicle upfit, vehicle lettering, traffic items, a tablet, management course tuition and an impairment simulation kit. No payment went to a treatment provider, clinician or licensed program, and none bought medication. The FY2025 and FY2026 reports count over 600 and over 950 units of Narcan distributed. The account bought no naloxone. The launch date, 12/12/2023, is the date of the first payroll charge and the first two Chick-fil-A orders on the account.

The FY2026 report gives 69,048.96 unspent on hand, which is the 350,230.88 it reports received since 2022 less the 281,181.92 certified as spent. The spending amounts are accurate.

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 Mount Laurel Township tell the State it spent the money on?
It certified 3 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
Mount Laurel Township reported its opioid settlement spending to the State to the cent each year, and filed police-run outreach events, paid mostly as Township payroll, under Treatment.
