No property is returned without written notice from the courts or the assigned detective handling the case. If your case goes to court the property cannot be returned until your case has been adjudicated.
General property may be picked up Monday through Friday from 7am to 2:45pm. Firearm returns are done strictly by appointment only. Please contact the Property & Evidence office to schedule those returns.
When calling please provide your phone number, EPD case number and name if leaving a voice mail and we will return your call by the next business day.
The Evidence Clerk 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.
All found property is destroyed 90 days after it is received. Excess jail property is disposed of 30 days after release. If you are transferred to another facility, it is your responsibility to request that a family member or friend pick up your property otherwise, it will be disposed of. If your property will be used in court, you must request in writing that it be returned within 90 days of your case being adjudicated before it is destroyed.
