What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The program will fund States, units of local government, and tribal governments to implement an evidence management program to inventory, track, and report untested and unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs). From the time an evidence SAK is collected to the time it leaves the laboratory and the case receives final disposition in court, the status and location of the SAK will be known. This program furthers the Departmentâs mission to combat violent crime and to improve response and services to Americaâs crime victims.
