Knowledge about the status of sexual assault kit (SAK) evidence is crucial in combating violent crime and improving responses and services to America’s crime victims.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA’s) Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence – Inventory, Tracking, and Reporting (SAFE-ITR) Program provided funding for agencies to gain insight into the scope of unanalyzed SAKs in their possession and to manage the SAKs’ workflow and status. The SAFE-ITR Program assists these agencies in addressing the inventory, tracking, and reporting of SAKs.
