Da Form 4137 PDF Details

In the realm of legal documentation within the U.S. Army, the DA Form 4137, titled "Evidence/Property Custody Document," plays a critical role in meticulously tracking the custody and handling of evidentiary items and property. Crafted under the guidelines of AR 190-45 and AR 195-5, and governed by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, this form ensures a transparent, accountable, and systematic process of evidence management. By recording detailed information including the sequence number, report numbers, names, grades, and titles of individuals from whom items are received, alongside descriptions of the articles in question, the DA Form 4137 serves as an essential tool for maintaining integrity within investigative processes. It captures a wide array of details such as the item's description, quantity, model, serial numbers, condition, and any unique marks or scratches, which are vital for tracking and identification. The form meticulously documents the chain of custody with names, grades or titles, and signatures at every transfer point, ensuring that each item's motion is logged until its final disposal—be it a release to the owner or destruction. This exhaustive approach to documenting evidence and property custody safeguards against tampering, loss, or misuse, thereby upholding the standards of justice and accountability within military operations.
