Written receipts do not exist. However, a typed report (stating the nature by which the property came to the officer's possession) MUST be completed for property to be allowed in to property room. That case number assigned to the report can be given to the property owner as a type of receipt.Hmmm...when an officer takes custody of a firearm in a situation in which it is likely the possessor is not committing a criminal act, is the possessor given a receipt for the weapon or is that a television fiction?
