Inventory of Seized Evidence

An inventory of seized evidence is a detailed list of all items taken by law enforcement officers during the execution of a search warrant or a lawful search incident to an arrest. The inventory document must include a description of each item seized, the location where it was found, and the name of the officer who seized it. The purpose of the inventory is to create a record of the evidence and to protect the property rights of the person from whom the items were seized. A copy of the inventory must be provided to the person from whom the property was taken or left at the location where the seizure occurred. The inventory helps ensure the integrity of the evidence and provides a basis for the chain of custody, which is necessary for the admissibility of the evidence in court proceedings.
