I should add:
When you're admitted like I described above - we are inventorying *everything* that came in with you.
Guns get recorded by make model and serial number, with whatever accessories that came in with it as well. Number of magazines, number of rounds recovered, holster, etc. Physical description also included (such as "brown colored Smith & Wesson M&P .45 caliber serial number MFP4506, 2x gray magazines, 13 .45ACP FMJ rounds no holster")
Your wallet will be inventoried, we'll pull out all the cards, cash, pictures, etc and each will be individually recorded on the property sheet before being put back together and bagged up.
Any monies recovered will be counted and recorded by denomination and totalled.
Clothing will be described - the only time you're not getting clothing back is if its really bloody, or if its shredded or cut off and no longer usable - then it typically gets discarded as a biohazard.
In our facility we had property sheets (multiple carbon copies) that got filled out, with all property itemized. The bag also had a field for itemizing the contents, and the property is also logged into a bound book maintined in the security office. All of the property inventory takes place on camera - including monies being counted, and usually with a witness that also signs off. We wanted to make sure that 1.) patients get their shit back and 2.) security or medical staff weren't accused of stealing their shit - accusations happen a lot regardless, but if its all on camera when we take inventory and when you get it back, there ain't a lot of wiggle room there. Plus there are cameras pretty much everywhere except IN the patient's rooms and the bathrooms, so we could watch people take the property bag out of the trauma bay to the nurses station or security office for inventory - and with 12-20 people on average in the bay when someone is being worked on, no one is pocketing your shit in the trauma bay.
