Promptly after seizure, the Police Department shall notify the City Solicitor in writing of the facts and circumstances supporting the seizure. On receiving the report, the Solicitor shall conduct an independent review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the seizure. If the Solicitor finds sufficient evidence that the APM was used in violation of this subtitle, the Solicitor shall notify the APM’s owner, by registered or certified mail, of the seizure and of the City’s intent to institute forfeiture proceedings. If, on the other hand, the Solicitor finds that there is insufficient evidence to prove violation, the Solicitor shall surrender the APM to the owner on the owner’s request. Ord. 13-166
