FAQ

How do I retrieve property being held by the Evansville Police Department?

No property is returned without written notice from the courts or the assigned detective handling the case. In most cases a letter is sent to the owner when the property can be returned. All letters have a deadline date at the bottom on how long property will be held.

Do I need an appointment to retrieve my property?

It is best to make an appointment at least 24 hours prior to coming to police headquarters to pick up property. An appointment will ensure the custodian is available and able to expedite the transaction in a timely manner.

What do I need to know when I call about my property?

All property stored by the EPD is referenced by using the EPD Case/Offense Number not a court docket number. If you do not know your case/offense number, it is important that you provide the name that the case/offense is listed under.

I don't believe that my property should have been taken; what recourse do I have?

The Evidence Custodian is not responsible for the collection of property. If you have a dispute about property being held, clarify the situation with the assigned detective or officer involved. You should contact that officer and request they provide the Evidence Custodian with a written document indicating that the property may be released. You will then receive a letter.
