FAQs

Property and Evidence

• Can someone else pick up my firearm for me?

  No, you must pick up your own firearm.

• Can someone else pick up my property for me?

  Proof of ownership and a valid photo ID will be required to claim any property.  If you are having someone else pick up your property, they must bring a notarized letter from you (the owner) authorizing its release.

• Do I need to make an appointment to pick up my property?

  Yes.  An appointment is preferred as the Property and Evidence staff are not always in the office.  Call 706-278-9085, option 5 to make an appointment.

• I don't have an ID. Can I still pick up my property?

  No.  A valid government-issued photo ID must be presented in order for property to be released.  A drivers' license, state-issued ID card, or passport are all acceptable forms of ID.

• I went to court today and the judge said I could get my property back. What do I need to do?

  You will need to contact the Officer or Investigator that is in charge or your case.  The Officer or Investigator must complete the appropriate paperwork before the property can be released.

• My car was towed to the Police Department and I need to get items out of it. Can I come get those things?

  No, the Officer or Investigator in charge of your case will contact you when you are able to pick up your vehicle.
