Seizure of currency in amounts less than $1,500 may be considered with prior approval by which unit?

• A. Supervisor
• B. Sergeant
• C. Forfeiture Unit
• D. State Attorney

Answer: (C)

Seizure decisions, even for small amounts of cash, are guided by specialized oversight to keep asset forfeiture processes consistent and properly documented. The unit that handles asset forfeiture matters reviews and approves these actions, ensuring there’s a legitimate nexus to criminal activity and that all procedures follow policy and law. That’s why the Forfeiture Unit is the appropriate authority for prior approval on currency under the threshold. Supervisors, sergeants, or the State Attorney may be involved in related steps, but the pre-approval for small cash seizures comes from the Forfeiture Unit.
