Record-Keeping and Evidence

Preserving evidence integrity is critical to a fair investigation. Create an organized, chronological record of all reports, interviews, actions, and decisions.

Apply a chain-of-custody approach to physical and digital materials. Store originals securely and retain copies for authorized personnel only.

Use standardized templates for incident logs, interview summaries, and action trackers. Ensure accuracy, completeness, and time-stamped entries.

Maintain privacy and comply with data protection laws when handling personal information.
