01

The FY2026 report lists a new program named Police Safety & Harm Reduction Program, recipient City of Summit Police, funded 01/01/2026 at 54,992.70, with 52,183.98 spent and 2,808.00 encumbered (pp10 to 13).

It gives the primary category as Treatment and the Schedule B strategies as Treat Opioid Use Disorder and Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms. It describes the purpose as various equipment purchased to treat and access overdose victims with emergency care, and it reports 2 individuals served. Six checks from the settlement accounts make 52,183.98 to the cent. Tri-Tech Forensics check 240053 on 02/03/2026 paid 1,045.00 for a Rescue Essentials Quiklitter and freight, purchase order 26-00028. All Hands Fire Equipment check 240071 on 02/17/2026 paid 6,534.80 for a Leatherhead Breacher Iron 30in and shipping, 26-00033. Galls check 240104 on 02/17/2026 paid 4,399.20 for a 5.11 Tactical item, catalog BG2462KANGLXL, and shipping, 26-00034. J&N Tactical check 240117 on 02/17/2026 paid 7,800.00 for a TR-1-CQ Compact and shipping, 26-00378. V E Ralph and Son check 240422 on 04/07/2026 paid 15,049.98 for a Philips HeartStart defibrillator, a carrying case, adult and infant/child smart pads and paramedic scissors, 26-00030. High Threat Innovations check 240370 on 04/07/2026 paid 17,355.00 for Defender Leg Rig TraumaPaks and shipping, less a 10 percent discount, 26-00504. The 2,808.00 encumbered is Galls order 26-00035 for a Dyna Med Deluxe bag and shipping, 2,808.72, still open. The program block names breaching equipment, medical kits and litters among its indicators. It does not name the 5.11 Tactical item. The City bought the same pad catalog numbers, 24-M5071A and 24-M5072A, from the same vendor on its Fire Equipment line on 09/03/2019. Exhibit E's Treatment uses are treatment for opioid use disorder. A breaching tool, a litter, trauma packs and a defibrillator do not treat that disorder, and no listed use covers them. No overdose program using this equipment is documented.

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 Summit 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?

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
