The Asset
Forfeiture Unit conducts criminal and financial investigations
regarding those individuals
and property against whom local, state or federal forfeiture
proceedings are anticipated. The bureau locates and
identifies proceeds, substituted proceeds and instrumentalities
of crimes, prepares and presents applications for federal,
state and local forfeiture. The bureau maintains a
liaison
with the forfeiture units of the District Attorney’s
Office and the various federal law enforcement agencies.
In addition, the Asset Forfeiture Unit includes our
Department's Intelligence Section. The Intelligence
Section is supported by the New York New Jersey High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Agency and as such is also
known as the Nassau County HIDTA Regional Intelligence
Center. This center interacts and maintains a liaison
with local, state, federal, Interpol, U.S. Military
Intelligence, and counter-terrorism Units in order
to keep this Department informed on the most up to
date intelligence. The Intelligence Section receives
all terrorism leads from the state and federal Terrorist
Task Forces and conducts background investigations
on these leads and prepares the NCPD Counter-Terrorism
Team's Weekly Briefing Report. Additionally, the Intelligence
Section through the use of specialized HIDTA, federal,
state and commercial databases provides investigative
assistance to law enforcement personnel.
