The Evidence & Property Department is staffed by a civilian Evidence Technician and is assisted by Detectives and civilian volunteers. This unit is responsible for any type of property that is recovered by department members (officers, police service aides, crime scene investigators, etc.). Each item is classified as either 'found/abandoned property' or 'evidence'. This unit is accountable for all of the items which are stored in our evidence facility and ensures the availability of those items for court presentations and/or the return of the property to the rightful owner.
The most important responsibility of the Evidence Technician is to ensure the integrity of the chain of custody of the evidence which is stored for criminal prosecution. Contraband, worthless or other illegal items are destroyed in accordance with Florida Statutes. Legal unclaimed property is either donated to a recognized nonprofit organization or properly disposed of, but only after it has been held for ninety days.
For assistance or more information on Evidence & Property, please contact us at 561-746-6201 ext. 2251. Our hours are Mondays through Thursdays (except holidays) from 7:30am to 5:30pm.
