Around here, the LE depts. get to keep it. It was on the local news the other day where they had purchased a new plane (for searches, locating pot farms, etc.) and still had over 1 million on hand. They may only use it to purchase "toys" though and can't use the $ for things like putting more officers on the streets.
Ironically, the other weekday morning, I was cutting through a very nice neighborhood at 10 am on a Thur. morning (virtually no traffic during those times), and damn if I didn't run into a license check with 3 cars, 2 motorcycles, and 8 cops standing around...priorities
