The Hays Police Department considers the care and control of property and evidence to be a very high priority in policing. In order to control this process as effectively and efficiently as possible, the Hays Police Department funnels all property or evidence associated with a crime through the Property Unit. The Property Unit is responsible for the direct control, inventory and security of all property recovered by the department and all evidence generated during the investigation of a crime. If you have questions about your property, please contact the Evidence Custodian at (785) 625-1030 during normal business hours.
