visits to substations to collect
evidence throughout the week.
Items are tracked through the
Record Management System,
a computerized system that
establishes a barcode for each item
of evidence or property.
The public can retrieve items
during normal business hours after
a detective informs them that the
items may be released. The only
exception to this involves firearms.
Firearms have certain protocols
before they can be released so
citizens would need to contact the
Property and Evidence Unit for
information.
