San Diego Police Department's property and evidence room is not up to standard, compared to other property rooms in the county, a grand jury reports.
The grand jury investigation found there's little communication between the District Attorney and the SDPD concerning the retention or disposing of evidence.
That lack of communication has caused evidence to be kept after cases are closed, resulting in the need for more storage space and a delay in returning evidence to owners.
The police department was advised to fix its deficiencies and communicate better with the DA's office.
