SUBJECT: Property Disposition Request / Convert to City Use-Sale����

DATE: Tuesday, March 18, 2025
A firearms inventory of recently cleared firearms with property disposition updates was
performed by C.S.S. J. Martin on March 18, 2025.
The firearms are currently stored in our property room. An excel spreadsheet was created with
the 34 firearms with their dispositions. I respectfully request that they be converted to city use
due to the closure of the legal proceedings related to the property. Many of the firearms meet
the standards for potential sale to a firearms dealer.
A copy of the excel spreadsheet and property dispositions are attached for review. Each case
was reviewed to insure that there was no criminal case pending.
All of the firearms stored are eligible for surplus.
Aventura Police Department
The below cases have been approved for final disposition
by the investigating officer.
