Which Admin Hold Code indicates that the person is a key/material witness?

• A. Code 15
• B. Code 17
• C. Code 13
• D. Code 14

Answer: (D)

A key/material witness designation is used when someone's testimony is central to the investigation. The admin hold code that flags this status tells the system and all involved personnel that this person’s testimony is essential, so steps are taken to ensure they are available for questioning, protected if needed, and handled in a way that preserves the integrity of the investigation. This designation often guides actions like securing the witness, coordinating with legal authorities, and applying any necessary restrictions to prevent tampering or interference. Other holds correspond to different roles or purposes in the investigation, but they do not signify that the person is a crucial witness.
