Property & Evidence Management
Is your property room a big mess? Have you had an audit in the last year? or ever? Do you conduct a complete inventory upon personnel change? Are confiscated guns, drugs and cash stored under appropriate security? Are there more than 3 keys to your property room? Do you have a Property & Evidence SOP? Are you following CALEA guidelines? Do you have a purge plan in place? Are you out of space?
These are the questions every Police Chief should ask when considering the Property Room. There is more potential for management issues to arise in the Property & Evidence operation than in any other facet of police work. Your department's reputation depends on having outstanding management of the Property & Evidence function.
