They preserve the integrity of evidence through proper handling,
preventing tampering or contamination, which makes the evidence
reliable in court.
By adhering to legal standards, these procedures uphold the rule of
law and protect constitutional rights. Additionally, they strengthen
cases, increasing the likelihood of convictions and reducing the
chances of dismissal due to technical errors.
Finally, clear and documented procedures maintain accountability
within law enforcement operations.
