Recording the date, time, and individuals who handle the evidence ensures a documented trail, which is crucial for maintaining the chain of custody. This documentation verifies that the evidence has not been tampered with and is admissible in court. While other actions like using write-blocking devices are important for preserving evidence integrity, they do not directly address the documentation aspect of the chain of custody.
