Evidence Locker Rules & Standards
All officers, regardless of rank, must strictly adhere to rules regarding evidence handling and storage. Any items seized from individuals, including weapons, contraband, or money, must be deposited into the storage locker at the appropriate sheriff's office. Any officer may deposit these items, and it's imperative that all seized items are documented on the arrest record for proper documentation.
Once the storage reaches full capacity, marshals will transfer the evidence to a marshal-only storage, especially for items considered high-risk contraband. Any attempt by an officer to clear out evidence holdings without prior authorization from a marshal will be considered theft and will result in formal charges, including intent to distribute contraband. This action would prompt a formal investigation, disciplinary action, potential termination, and blacklisting from law enforcement.
The only exception to an officer's ability to remove confiscated items is if a cooperative individual involved in a non-violent crime has their seized weapon(s) documented. In such cases, they may be allowed to retrieve their confiscated items from the office.
