The purpose of this property and evidence management guide is to provide standardized guidelines for the management of the property and evidence system and the processing of property and evidence. Proper management and procedures help to ensure the integrity of the property process, protect the evidentiary value of property, and restore property to its owners in a timely manner. The failure to manage the property and evidence system correctly can affect the prosecution of criminal violators, resulting in embarrassment and financial loss to the agency, and lead to a loss of public confidence in the agency.
