Conclusions 1

• CL1
  During this audit, we determined the property room was not missing any items or evidence from our custody and control. The property for all cases on file was accounted for and the only problem we found was that we had more property than we showed in our records. This was attributed to the inadequate record keeping of the property through the audit process. All of the additional property was matched up with older case numbers and the property was properly disposed of or returned to the rightful owners. The audit results and inventory are on the last page. Although the property room audit took a long time and had to scale several hurdles in its completion, Technician Hollis completed this audit professionally and with tenacity in order to bring the property room into better compliance than when she received it. It goes without saying the task was immense. As a result of her hard work, I can say the property room is operating within Department and State guidelines. The liability to the Department and the City has been greatly reduced, but still more work is recommended. . . . .
