When and how can I retrieve my property?

If your belongings were taken for
temporary safekeeping, you MUST claim them within 60 days or they will be
disposed of as specified in CA Civil Code Section 2080.10.  If you cannot pick up your belongings within 60 days, you can: 

·         
Submit a letter naming another
person that you have authorized to pick up your property, or

·         
Submit a letter requesting that EMPD hold your property for up to 10 additional months. 

 To pick up your property, please contact the
Property Bureau at (626) 580-2129 to schedule an appointment.  Appointments are available Monday through Thursday between 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.  A valid I.D. is required.
