Скачать или смотреть Media Briefing: Disposing of Outdated Evidence in Property Room I Houston Police

Mayor John Whitmire and Police Chief Noe Diaz announce a change in the policy of evidence retention at the HPD Property Room. In regards to narcotics, evidence obtained before 2015 will be cleared from the shelves and destroyed, with the full cooperation of the Harris County District Attorney's Office and the Houston Forensic Science Center. However, records of that evidence will be retained indefinitely.

This change was brought on by lack of storage at the Property Room and issues with rodents getting into narcotics. Before this, evidence like sticks, tennis rackets, bicycles and even rocks were kept for sometimes decades, long after convictions and full sentences were served.
