Lost property not involving firearms or vehicle plates is handled by which bureau?

• A. Communications Bureau
• B. Fleet Maintenance
• C. Major
• D. Teleserve Unit

Answer: (A)

Intake and routing of non-emergency lost property is handled by the Communications Bureau. This bureau serves as the primary contact point for non-emergency public inquiries, so it’s responsible for creating the initial report, logging the item, and ensuring proper documentation and chain of custody. From there, the case is routed to the appropriate property/evidence process for storage or return to the owner. Vehicles and their equipment fall under Fleet Maintenance, major investigative commands fall under the Major bureau, and the Teleserve Unit handles certain non-emergency public services, but for lost property not involving firearms or vehicle plates, the intake and processing flow is centered in the Communications Bureau.
