Property and
Evidence
Property Release
 Hours
for property release are each Wednesday (except holidays) from 10:30 AM
to noon, and 1:00 PM until 2:30 PM. Property will only be released
to the person who is named by the releasing officer. The
individual must have identification at the time of release. If the
person named is unavailable to pick up their property, they can name an
alternate person to pick it up. That person must have a letter
signed and notarized by the owner of the property, authorizing that
individual to pick up their property. That person must also
provide proper identification at the time of release.
Release of Firearms
 Firearms cannot be released to persons with
felony conviction records. Persons picking up handguns must
provide a valid gun registration for those weapons at the time of
release. In case of weapons confiscated as a result of a domestic
altercation, the owner must obtain a letter signed and notarized by all
parties involved in the incident. In the event a letter cannot be
obtained, the owner must obtain a court order mandating the release of
those weapons.
All property must first be authorized for release by the officer
in charge of the case. Any questions regarding release of property
may be directed to the property section at (248) 871-2739.
Safe Keeping of Firearms
The Farmington Hills Police Department has very limited space for
property storage; this includes firearms. Requests to store
firearms are strongly discouraged due to the limited storage space.
Firearms also need to be maintained to prevent deterioration from rust,
and the Police Department does not provide that service. The
better course of action is to store them in a safe location that is
accessible to you for maintenance.
