1. why is the chain of custody so important?

it speeds up the investigative process.

Explanation:

The chain of custody is crucial for maintaining the safety, integrity, and admissibility of evidence in legal - related matters. It ensures that evidence can be traced from collection to presentation in court, which gives investigators confidence in its authenticity. It is not only important for DNA evidence, nor does a case necessarily never get solved without it, and it doesn't primarily speed up the investigative process.

Answer:

It allows investigators to be confident in the safety and integrity of the evidence they collect.
