§ 12-08 Safekeeping.
This category covers property cases removed from aided and prisoner's personal property not required as evidence. The claimant generally produces the pink copy of the voucher or, if not issued, obtains the voucher number from the Precinct in which the property was taken. If the claimant is listed as the owner on the Property Clerk's copy, the property is returned immediately. If ownership cannot be determined, the claimant is referred to the vouchering command to obtain a letter identifying the claimant as the owner (in a limited number of cases the Property Clerk can do this by telephone).
