St. Johns Police Ask Residents To Claim Property By December 8

The St. Johns Police Department posted a Property Release notice to the Apache County CrimeWatch feed on November 10, 2025, and updated the item on November 12, 2025. The announcement serves as a 30 day Notice to Claim Property and asks anyone with property held by the department to contact St. Johns PD before December 8, 2025 to claim items or arrange retrieval. The public post includes contact instructions and a brief explanation of the claiming process.

The notice is part of routine property management and public notification practices used by law enforcement agencies to ensure individuals have an opportunity to recover possessions. For residents of St. Johns and surrounding communities, including those living on nearby tribal lands, the announcement provides a defined window to check whether items they have reported missing or items seized in connection with an incident remain in departmental custody.

The CrimeWatch feed that hosted the notice is an established local platform for police bulletins and community alerts. The same feed also lists other local broadcasts and posts from St. Johns PD, creating a single point where residents can review recent public notices, safety advisories, and administrative announcements. The department’s inclusion of contact instructions and a description of the claim procedure in the public post is intended to make the process accessible and transparent to the widest possible audience.

Local impact is practical and immediate. Individuals who believe they may have property held by St. Johns PD should consult the CrimeWatch post and follow the department’s specified steps before the December 8 deadline. Acting within the notice period will help ensure timely retrieval or arrangements for collection. Residents who depend on official bulletins for information, including elders and community members with limited online access, may wish to check with family members or local offices for assistance interpreting the notice and contacting the department.

Beyond the immediate logistics of reclaiming property, the notice underscores the role of clear public communication by local authorities. Timely posts on community feeds help maintain public trust, reduce uncertainty, and provide a record of departmental actions. For Apache County residents, staying informed through the CrimeWatch feed and responding to posted deadlines is the most direct way to protect access to property held by the St. Johns Police Department.
