FAQs
How do I get get my property back after it has been taken or held by the Police Department?
Property Releases are handled by appointment only. Appointments can be made by calling the Property Room at 925/288-4613. At that time, the Property Clerk will determine if the property in question can be returned. Several factors must be considered and various entities must be contacted before property can be released (i.e. Investigations division, DA's office, Courts, etc). In addition, all Firearms will require a valid California Department of Justice Firearms Clearance letter for release. If property requires a Court Order or additional information for release, the Property Clerk will inform you at that time.
