Property and Evidence Management

An understanding of the various aspects and issues relating to the storage and proper management of property evidence.

The purpose of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the various aspects and issues relating to the storage and proper management of property and evidence. Effective management of property and management requires policies that outline evidence submission, proper storage facilities, and appropriate purging procedures. This class delivers useful information for evaluating current policies and procedures for the submission of evidence, packaging of evidence, and storage of evidence, security of facilities, and audits and inventories.

Concepts such as prioritizing high liability items, utilizing the space you have in the most efficient and organized way, the impact of hazards such as fentanyl and the managing of DNA and firearms in line with state statutes will all be discussed.

Law enforcement agencies face many challenges in carrying out their responsibility to investigate crimes and arrest those who commit crimes. That responsibility can create unique issues when the public expects transparency in government operations. This class will discuss the role and responsibility that law enforcement personnel have in responding to requests for information.

After taking this training, participants will be able to:

• Create an evidence submission manual for their agency
• Understand the differences and importance of audits and inventories
• Understand the importance of Chain of Custody and documentation of correspondence with public and Department members
