Property and evidence management functions have long presented logistical and procedural challenges to police agencies.  The aim of this course is to provide persons assigned to the property control function – whether sworn or civilian - with the knowledge and skills needed to properly handle, store, and purge items commonly found in evidence rooms.  Applicable laws, common policies, and standards which form the backbone of a well-functioning property room will be reviewed in detail.    

Topics to be addressed include the following:  

- Property management policies and best practices
- Employing a systematic approach to property management 
- Issues and difficulties faced by other agencies
- Laws and regulations affecting the property control function
- Proper documentation of evidence and property
- Identification of problem areas through review of current practices
