Evidence Management
Evidence Management is responsible for the proper receipt, storage, movement and disposal of property and exhibits held by the police. This includes physical and, where assigned, digital evidential material.
How we work
Evidence staff maintain records showing how items were obtained, who has handled them and where they are stored. They help investigators and forensic specialists manage exhibits throughout an investigation and ensure that release, retention and disposal decisions are recorded and authorised. Secure handling protects the integrity of evidence and the interests of people whose property is held.
Reporting and enquiries
If you want to enquire about property held by the Constabulary, use the relevant request or contact service. Individual exhibits cannot be collected without the appropriate authorisation.
