We are also responsible for maintaining, storing, and disposing of all property taken into police custody. We carefully safeguard evidence to prevent contamination of Fingerprints and insure its evidentiary value in court. The proper and timely disposal of property includes the return of property to its rightful owner and destruction of items as prescribed by law.
In addition, we provide a number of services for the public. See below for the list of services, hours, and cost for each:
