Great question. If your evidence SOP policy works well for your Dept, the best solution is to apply the same tracking & secure storage procedures for your lost/found, ie; database, barcode, shelving system, etc. You would want to add a section to your SOPs to cover the minor differences in storing lost/found items, such as packing the same as you do evidence, yet possibly not sealed. Additionally, depending on your investigation protocol, you should outline exactly who is responsible for investigating the property owner & what current cases may be tied to the property. I'll email you an example outline of a model policy that includes lost/found property. As for the lack of storage room, that's a tough call, until I know more about the space you have to work & options available. The ideal solution is to utilize the security of your existing property room, but if that isn't an option, you may have to get creative. We'll chat about that after you get a chance to read through the sample. Hope this helps... Jason Stu,

Any suggestions or model policy for lost or found property would be great.
