Careful planning is crucial in presenting a budget <br />proposal to address the needs of the Department. In addition, Department <br />employees dealing with cash are provided guidance in accepting payment, expending <br />cash, and accounting for those expenditures. Sound financial records will protect <br />employees from any claims of inappropriate use of funds. <br />It is the policy of the Lexington Police Department to: <br />1. Submit a sound budget proposal to fund the Department in order to <br />meet the policing needs of the community; <br />2. Manage the operational budget to ensure that funds from budgetary <br />appropriations are available for police operations throughout the fiscal <br />year; and <br />3. Maintain the integrity of cash accounts and expenditures in the <br />Department. <br />PROCEDURES <br />A. Fiscal Authority and Responsibility [17.1.1] <br />1. The Chief of Police is designated as having the authority and <br />responsibility for fiscal management of the Department. <br />2. Such authority is derived through his appointment and designation by <br />the Town Manager.
