The primary duty of the Property Unit is to log, classify, store, dispense, destroy, and release property/evidence to its rightful owner, for court presentation, and/or for destruction or auction.

  • Found Property: Found property and/or unattended property is taken into custody for safeguarding until the owner is located. This property is held for 30 days while attempts to locate the owner are made.
  • Safekeeping: Property is held for 90 days and attempts to contact the owner are made, either by mailing the owner a card or providing an arrestee with a Retention Form indicating the property will be destroyed if not picked up.
