Evidence Releases

The Evidence Custodian does not release property held as evidence without authorization from the Officer, Detective, District Attorney or Judge handling the case.  This may be the investigator, the District Attorney’s Office, another law enforcement agency or the court.  To inquire about the status of the case, please contact the investigating Officer or Detective handling your case.

Firearms

Firearms cannot be released until a background check through Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) has been completed. PICS requires possession of a valid Pennsylvania ID or driver's license.
