An evidence custodian logs and oversees evidence held by a law enforcement agency. The custodian is typically a law enforcement officer who either requests or gets assigned to the position. Key responsibilities including accurately logging evidence as it comes in and goes out to ensure proper chain-of-custody.

When you look at the roles and responsibilities of evidence custodians, their duty is: to store and protect the integrity of the evidence until it's needed for trial, facilitate the evidence's movement, and arrange for the retention or disposition of evidence.
