Release of Property

Property will only be released to the owner of that property.  Proof of ownership may be required prior to the release of property.  If you are having someone else pick up your property, your designee must have a legal notarized statement from you authorizing him/her to pick up your items, as well as a valid driver’s license or government identification card. You must notify the Property and Evidence Manager in advance of your appointment that someone else will be picking up your property for you.

All property being used as evidence must be approved for release by an officer, detective, prosecutor, and/or judge. All evidence is stored in a safe place until it is no longer needed in a case. If you have questions about your property being held as evidence, contact the detective or officer involved with your case. (It is advised to first phone the officer or detective assigned to your case before setting up an appointment to obtain your property to verify that your property has been authorized for release).
