What Does COC Stand For?
COC stands for Chain Of Custody
COC, or Chain of Custody, refers to the process of maintaining and documenting the handling of evidence or materials to ensure their integrity and authenticity throughout the entire investigative or legal process. This systematic approach tracks the possession, location, and transfer of evidence from the moment it is collected until it is presented in court, thereby safeguarding against tampering or contamination. Adhering to a strict Chain of Custody is crucial for upholding the validity of evidence and maintaining the credibility of findings in legal proceedings.
