Photograph and release option Finding No. 47 states: “Depending on what it is and how it was obtained, items held at this facility must be kept until the court orders its disposal or it is released by the District Attorney.” I disagree with this finding. Some evidence may be released by court order or released by the District Attorney. For other matters, the statute of limitations or the type of crime (Domestic Violence/Elder Abuse/Child Abuse) may guide evidence destruction. Also, the nature of the evidence (DNA/Biological) may determine how long the evidence must be retained. Finding number 48 states that: “Evidence room operations, including purging and disposition of evidence, require greater staff time than is presently available.” I agree with this finding.
