Civil Forfeiture Grant Program
The Civil Forfeiture Office works to remove profits from unlawful activity by taking away the proceeds from, and assets used in criminal activity to reinvest them in community-based support programs for victims of crime and crime-prevention initiatives.
The Civil Forfeiture Grant Program provides one-time funding to organizations that support eligible victims of crime and targeted crime prevention initiatives across Nova Scotia. The Program is funded from the disposition of forfeited property seized by law enforcement agencies.
