The Property and Evidence Bureau is open to the general public for business Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Property and Evidence Bureau is closed to the public on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. It generally takes 30 minutes to one hour to process a request for the return of property. Adequate time should be allowed to complete the transaction during normal operational hours.
Law enforcement activities of the Miami-Dade Police Department frequently result in the impounding of property and evidence.

The Bureau also encompasses the Vehicle Research Unit, which accomplishes the following:
- Maintains records of vehicles impounded and released by contract wreckers.
- Coordinates departmental use of and/or payment for wrecker services.
- Coordinates vehicle records and investigations with other departmental entities.
- Investigates unidentifiable or unclaimed impounded vehicles.
- Investigates complaints to ensure that the contract wrecker companies perform in accordance with the wrecker service contract and applicable laws.
The Property and Evidence Bureau's main facility is a 50,000 square foot secure warehouse. In addition, the Bureau operates a remote vehicle storage lot and an off-site overflow facility.
The Property and Evidence Bureau has;
- Impounded over 30,000 articles of general property, 11,000 narcotics articles, and 4,000 firearms.
- Oversaw the towing of approximately 25,000 vehicles.
