The Property Officer is responsible for the secure storage of property that is turned in to, or seized by the Eau Claire Police Department.  Property includes lost and found items, evidence from criminal cases, and any vehicles of evidentiary value towed by the Police Department.  There are four storage facilities in the City of Eau Claire where property is held.  The Property Officer is also responsible for disposition of the stored property.  Police Department weapons, equipment, and other supplies are also stored in the Property Section.

General property hours are 7:30am - 11:30am and 12:30pm - 4:00pm Monday - Friday, but please call ahead as the property officer also performs duties at facilities away form the department.

Property available for auction from the Eau Claire Police Department may now be found at the on-line auction service, PropertyRoom.com. This service works with law enforcement, local and state governments nationwide to provide full-service auction outsourcing for seized, found, stolen, recovered and surplus items.

As an additional feature of its unique approach to online auctions, Property Room has established StealitBack.com, the nation’s only public national registry of stolen goods. Private citizens are invited to register on StealitBack.com any items with serial numbers they have lost or reported stolen to their local police department. StealitBack.com will search its database, and if an item has been received from a participating department, Property Room will return the item to the police department where the theft or loss was originally reported so that it may be returned to its rightful owner free of charge.
