Question

Select the scenario that would not require chain of custody information to be recorded. A fingerprint analyst transfers evidence to a serologist. A crime scene investigator takes evidence to the lab. A lab technician returns evidence to the police station. A new shift of police officers goes on duty. All of these scenarios require chain of custody information.

Answer 1

All of these scenarios require a chain of custody information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chain of custody refers to the chronology of the handling of important evidence that can be used in court. It documents the custody, control, transfer, analysis, and other conditions a piece of evidence must have undergone before it arrives in court.

This is important so that the evidence does not get to the hands of an unknown person. If the handling cannot be proven at any time, the judge can kick it out of the court. When a new shift of police officers goes on duty, important records should be passed to them.
