The mission of the Asset Forfeiture Program is to maximize the effectiveness of forfeiture as a deterrent to crime. The Program is committed to destroying criminal organizations by depriving drug traffickers, racketeers, and other criminal syndicates of their ill-gotten proceeds and the instrumentalities of their trade. Further, it enhances law enforcement and intergovernmental cooperation among Federal, State, local, and foreign law enforcement agencies through the equitable sharing of forfeiture proceeds. The chapter on program implementation describes the work of each Federal agency and office involved in asset forfeiture, including the Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture, the Asset Forfeiture Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The report on program performance addresses fund receipts, official use, program expenses, equitable sharing, international sharing, end-of-year fund balance, and the seized asset inventory. Topics related to program management cover the consolidated asset tracking system, program improvements, policies and procedures, audits and evaluations, and training.
