The chain of custody is a recorded means of verifying where the evidence has travelled and who handled it before the trial. The reason for establishing a chain of custody is to prevent substitution of, tampering with, mistaking the identity of, damaging, altering, contaminating, misplacing or falsifying the evidence.
The documentation of the chain of custody serves 3 primary purposes: to ask relevant questions regarding the evidence to the analytical laboratory, to maintain a record of the chain of custody, and to document that the sample/evidence was handled only by approved personnel and was not accessible for tampering before
Throughout the collection, handling, testing and storage procedures, strict protocols must be followed to ensure that the evidence remains verifiable in terms of authenticity and integrity. Each person that handles the evidence must be identified, and all periods of custody must be properly accounted for and recorded.
Documentation is critical to maintaining the integrity of the chain of custody. Maintaining the chain of custody is vital for any type of evidence. In addition, if laboratory analysis reveals that DNA evidence was contaminated, it may be necessary to identify persons who have handled that evidence.
What Information Should be Included in a Chain of Custody Document? Date and time of collection. Location of collection. Name of investigator(s) Name or owner of the media or computer. Reason for collection. Matter name or case number. Type of media. Serial number of media if available.
