The FY2024 report certifies a new program named Counseling Services and Prevention, recipient Bright Harbor Healthcare slash Lacey Twp Police and EMS, launched 01/01/2024, funded at 35,000.00, with 17,500.00 expended.

The second is check 46294 of 05/09/2024 for the CY2024 Q2 fee, 8,750.00. The two sum to the certified 17,500.00. The Township's vendor history for Bright Harbor Healthcare shows the CY2024 Q1 invoice, purchase order 24-00571, paid by check 45689 on 02/22/2024 from account 4-01-25-240-295, Police Professional Services. Half of the spending certified for the program is a check the police budget had already paid, charged to the settlement account by journal.

Bright Harbor Healthcare has billed Lacey Township 8,750.00 a quarter for its On Point program since services starting 10/01/2021.

The Township's vendor history prints every payment. Nine quarters, CY2021 Q4 through CY2023 Q4, 78,750.00, were paid from Police Professional Services, account x-01-25-240-295, and stayed there. The tenth, CY2024 Q1, was paid by check 45689 from the same police line and then charged to the settlement account by journal reference 2368-2. From CY2024 Q2 the settlement account pays the fee directly. Through the 06/11/2026 payment the settlement fund has carried ten quarters, 87,500.00, counting the journal. The rate, the vendor and the program did not change. Only the account did. The FY2024 report to the State certifies the program as new, launched 01/01/2024. The vendor history shows the Township paying for it from 02/10/2022.

The FY2026 report lists a new program, Cameras in High Risk areas, at 7,427.15 funded and spent, recipient Gridless Power Corporation (pp12 to 15).

It files the program under Recovery Supports. It gives the primary problem as monitoring, surveillance of high risk areas and a Narcan dispenser, and describes wireless camera systems at park pavilions and entrances, community center common areas and Narcan box sites. Its own text ties camera placement in parks to community safety rather than direct harm reduction. Purchase order 25-03237 to Gridless Power Corporation, 7,427.15, encumbered 08/26/2025 and paid by check 52097 on 01/08/2026, is the figure to the cent. The report names the cameras, but Recovery Supports does not describe them. Gridless Power billed the Township 142,427.15 for work described only as Cameras. All seven lines were paid on 01/08/2026 on checks 52095 through 52100. Six lines, 135,000.00, are charged to capital account X-04-44-C25-013, Security Cameras. Invoice 119580 is split between the two accounts, 7,427.15 to the settlement account and 3,553.20 to the capital account. The capital budget carries the rest of the same installation. No abatement program using the cameras is documented, and security cameras are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.

The FY2024 program block for Counseling Services and Prevention certifies 17,500.00 encumbered at 06/30/2024.

The same report's Question 7 certifies 1,995.00 encumbered, which is the open sign purchase order. The settlement account audit trail shows no Bright Harbor Healthcare purchase order open on 06/30/2024. The next two On Point fees were purchase order 24-02672, first encumbered 07/10/2024 and paid by check 47244 on 08/20/2024 for 8,750.00, and purchase order 24-03913, first encumbered 10/15/2024 and paid by check 47943 on 10/24/2024 for 8,750.00. Together they equal the certified 17,500.00. Neither purchase order existed at the end of the reporting year.

The Township's vendor history for L.E.A.D.

Inc. shows officer registrations and Too Good for Drugs curriculum kits bought on the police Educational Courses and Training line, x-01-25-240-239, in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and July 2024.

In September 2025 the next curriculum kit, 494.55, went back on the police training line.

Thirty four payroll postings to the settlement accounts between 03/31/2023 and 03/13/2026, described as LEAD, STEP GRANT or by payroll number, net to 45,907.70 after same day reversals.

Each is paid to the Lacey Township Payroll Account or posted by journal. L.E.A.D. is Law Enforcement Against Drugs, a course the Township has bought on its police training line since 2018. The FY2023, FY2024 and FY2025 reports give the LEAD payroll as the L.E.A.D. Program and the figures tie to the postings. Asked for the payroll register or labor distribution for each posting, the Township produced none and gave no reason. Which employees were paid, in what position and for what hours is not in the record. Reading the postings as police officer pay is an inference from the program name and the vendor history.

The FY2026 report certifies 147,025.06 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1).

The settlement accounts paid exactly that in the window, net of two same day payroll reversals. The report's five program amounts for the year add to 164,212.30, which is 17,187.24 more. They are the Community Needs Assessment 73,045.53, Cameras in High Risk areas 7,427.15, the T.R.U.S.T. update 49,461.56, the Counseling Services and Prevention update 22,319.21 and the L.E.A.D. update 11,958.85 (pp9 to 17). The needs assessment names DBD Group and Four Square Research as recipients. The accounts paid DBD Group 25,000.00 in the year and nothing to Four Square Research in the produced records. Payments that year to DBD Group, for a community assessment survey and to the communications firm Andrea Plaza total 42,177.50, which is 30,868.03 below the certified figure. Two updates run the other way. The Board of Education was paid 50,461.56 for T.R.U.S.T., 1,000.00 more than certified. Bright Harbor Healthcare was paid 35,000.00, 12,680.79 more than certified.

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 Lacey Township tell the State it spent the money on?

It certified 14 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

    Lacey Township

    Lacey Township moved a police counseling fee it had paid for years onto its opioid settlement fund, then certified the program to the State as new. Half of the counseling spending it reported for FY2024 is a check the police budget had already paid.
