Property & Evidence
Evidence Releases
Before evidence can be released, the case must be adjudicated with no pending appeal or the Ephrata Police Department must receive written permission to release any evidence from the Grant County Prosecutor's Office. If more than one defendant is involved in a case, evidence will be held until all pending charges against all defendants are adjudicated. After the case is adjudicated and permission to release the evidence is received, the Evidence Manager will send out a postcard notification giving the property owner 60 days from the date the postcard is sent to claim the property.
For other property and evidence questions, please contact Ephrata Police Department Monday through Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm at (509) 754-2491 or at contact@ephrata.org.
