    Hello PAC Fam,

    We are currently discussing a scenario and would appreciate some clarification. If a firearm is turned in for safekeeping, recovered from a scene—such as during a Baker Act situation—or found in a public place (e.g., a park), should it be entered into the system as safekeeping, or is it simply being impounded without system entry?

    Additionally, if there is a specific policy directing members on how to handle such situations, please forward it to me.

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    I hope this helps

    GO 532.06 Section I. C. gives primary classifications utilized.
    PBSO does not use the “Safekeeping” category being that it no longer applies per FDLE.

    We enter all firearms under one of the 3 property types: evidence, safekeeping, and found property. All 3 categories are then treated differently, especially when it comes to retention.
