Richland’s $4.1 million police station funded by civil forfeiture

By Steve Wilson | Mississippi Watchdog

The Mississippi city of Richland has a new $4.1 million police station, a top-level training center and a fleet of black-and-white Dodge Charger police cars.

All of it was paid for through civil forfeitures of property and cash seized during traffic stops of what police say were suspected drug runners on Interstate 20.
