The Evidence and Property Unit, part of the Special Services Division, is responsible for the secure custody, storage, accountability, and disposition of evidence and property maintained by the Tyngsborough Police Department. The unit works to ensure that every item entrusted to the Department is properly documented, protected, and accounted for from the time it is received through its final release or disposition.
The unit is managed by Detective Peter Kulisich, who serves as the Department’s Evidence and Property Officer. He oversees the day-to-day operation of the evidence and property function, including secure storage, access control, chain of custody, required documentation, and the transfer or release of property for court proceedings, forensic examination, investigative purposes, or other lawful disposition. These responsibilities are carried out in accordance with Massachusetts law, Department policy, and Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission (MPAC) Standards.
The Department maintains secure facilities and strict access controls for evidence and property, with additional safeguards for firearms, controlled substances, currency, biological evidence, and other sensitive or high-risk items. Regular inspections, inventories, and audits provide additional accountability and help protect the integrity of evidence maintained by the Medication Collection Program.
The Tyngsborough Police Department also provides a secure medication collection kiosk for residents to safely and anonymously dispose of unwanted or expired prescription and over-the- counter medications. The program helps reduce the risks associated with medication misuse, accidental poisoning, diversion, and improper disposal.
The kiosk is located inside the Police Department and provides a convenient, secure option for medication disposal. No identifying information is required, and medications collected through the program are accepted solely for lawful destruction and are not used for investigative or enforcement purposes.
