Each of the eight records specialists is master certified through the Colorado Certified Records Network. Their training includes extensive knowledge of Colorado Open Records Act.

Police records are "paperless" and available to the public, unless prohibited for release by law.

Evidence & Property

The Grand Junction Police Department Evidence and Property Unit is responsible for managing and storing items collected or seized during police investigations and operations. An item is cataloged and stored so that it can be protected while in our custody and retrieved when needed for court proceedings or when it is time to return it to its owner.

Members of the public wanting to pick up property or evidence need to schedule an appointment with our evidence technicians. Please call 970-549-5150 to schedule an appointment.
