In accordance with legal standards the illegal drugs are destroyed as affirmed by a witness to the destruction.
The monies seized may be used by the seizing agency in accordance with federal law concerning asset forfeiture. The money will NOT go to any individual officer as the requirement is that seized monetary assets must be used towards the furtherance of drug enforcement and investigation.
For further information concerning the federal laws concerning asset forfeiture, refer to the weblink below.
Best wishes.

After an order of destruction is issued by the presiding court, drugs are destroyed, usually by burning at a hazardous waste incinerator. After administrative hearings are held, in which the person the funds were confiscated from has the right to present evidence to recover them, the money is usually allocated to budgets which are specific to drug enforcement.

When I was living in NC almost 400K was taken at the bus depot in a duffel bag. The city got 80% of it back in about 18 months and it went to help build a new county jail. I am in Idaho now and I know they have sheriff's sales to get rid of seized property from drug raids.

Drugs are destroyed and in most cases the money will become the property of the department that seized it, although it has been donated to worthy causes occassionally. Things like cars,/homes/computers are usually sold at a Sheriff Auction with the proceeds going to the department.
Alot of it depends on the agencies or particular states rules of evidence.

drugs are destroyed unless there is a need for training items.. ie a controlled burn, police dog training etc.... money is put to use in budgets for dare and thing like that, and drug interdiction... some departments that have special units devoted to drug interdiction just use the money seized as their budget. items like cars, and homes are auctioned off to the public.

Drugs are properly disposed of (destroyed) the money is then circulated through the system (trust me they do find ways to keep it) like drug enforcement, task forces, victim services etc etc homes and cars personal property seized is usually auctioned off at either public or private auctions....

Drugs get destroyed. Money gets put into an account set up by the government and is used for either DARE programs or other programs to benefit society.
