Property & Evidence: What Happens To Items Found at a Crime Scene?

From microscopic DNA to large stolen vehicles, the evidence of a crime can take any shape or form. At CCSO, we have more than 300,000 items in our Property & Evidence Bureau. Where is it all held? How long is it kept? What are some of the more unique items? What’s the oldest piece of evidence? And what happens to high-liability items like guns, drugs and cash? In this episode two Property & Evidence Technicians tell us the ins and outs of cataloguing, storing and maintaining it all.
