Frequently Asked Questions

All oversized items and large quantities of cash in your possession at the time of arrest/booking are stored at the Baldwin Park Police Department. You would need to inquire about your stored property and make an appointment.

Any small items you had when you were arrested are placed in your prisoner property bag and are returned to you when you are released from the jail. If you are transferred to court, LA County jail, or to another Police Department’s jail, your property follows you. Check with the last facility you were released from.

If your friend gives you written authorization to pick up his/her safekeeping property you can make an appointment with the Police Technician.

At times the Police Technician can be away from their desk, in a meeting, in the field, away at training, or out sick. By making an appointment, you will not have to make repeat visits in an attempt to pick up your property.

To make an appointment call 626-960-1955 ext 234.

The Police Technician can only release items taken as evidence with the investigating detective’s approval. You would need to contact the detective handling your case.  Detective Contact Information

The fastest way to locate your property is to provide the Police Technician with the Baldwin Park Police Department’s case number, for example, Department Report DR10-12345. If you don’t have your case number the Police Technician can locate the case number with your first and last name and date of birth.
