Evidence/Property Section

The Evidence/Property Section is part of the Criminal Investigations Unit, and is responsible for all evidence and property that is submitted into evidence, or for safe keeping.  The Evidence/Property Section maintains the chain of custody for all evidence and property seized or impounded by the Longwood Police Department.

 

Found property pertains to all property found within the city limits by either law enforcement personnel or citizens.  Found property is submitted and held for 90 days.  If the owner of the property is not located within 90 days, the property is held until the periodic posting in a public place of the found property prior to destruction or disposal.

 

Safe Keeping is any property in the care and custody of the Longwood Police Department, which is not considered evidence, and the Department's sole purpose for having the property is to ensure the safe return to its owner, protect the property from criminal acts or to maintain custody of the property for a short period of time to ensure the safety of the owner or general public.
