True or False: Law enforcement should return a victim's stolen or personal property as soon as it is no longer needed for evidence.

True
False
Only if the victim requests it
Only after court proceedings

The correct answer is: True

The statement is accurate because law enforcement agencies have a responsibility to return a victim's stolen or personal property as soon as it is no longer needed for the investigation or as evidence in court. This policy underscores the importance of supporting victims and facilitating their recovery from a crime. Timely return of property can help victims regain a sense of normalcy and assist in their healing process. While there may be procedural guidelines regarding the proper documentation or chain of custody when returning property, the fundamental principle remains that once evidence retention is no longer necessary, law enforcement should prioritize the return of property to its rightful owner. This aligns with best practices in community policing and demonstrates respect for victims' rights. The other options may introduce unnecessary conditions that could delay this process, which is contrary to the goal of helping victims promptly.
