The police officer took some of my property into evidence.  When will my property be returned to me and how do I get it back?

It is your right to have your property returned to you within thirty days of the date of the crime, unless the evidence is essential for the prosecution of the case.  In order to get the property returned, you will need to obtain a Release of Evidence form from the State's Attorney Office.  The prosecuting attorney will sign this form, then you can submit it to the Evidence Section of the Police Department.  They will then return your property to you.
