What will the Fire Investigation Unit do with valuables turned over to them?

The Fire Investigation Unit is responsible for handling valuables that are turned over to them during their investigations with the utmost care and integrity. Their primary objective regarding these items is to ensure that they are returned to their rightful owners or to the appropriate law enforcement officers if the items are linked to an ongoing investigation or a crime. This process safeguards the interests of individuals who have lost their possessions, ensuring that their property is treated respectfully and returned to them whenever possible.

The focus on returning items to rightful owners underscores the accountability and trust placed in fire investigators to manage sensitive situations, as these valuables could hold significant sentimental or economic value to their owners. By prioritizing restitution, the unit supports the broader mission of community safety and justice.
