SAKI awarded the Fulton County District Attorney's Office a $1,000,000 grant in fiscal year 2018 to prosecute sexual assault cases on behalf of the thousands of previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits that have now been tested. Additionally, the grant money will go toward engaging in multidisciplinary policy development, implementation, and coordination as well as enhancing victim services for the jurisdiction through improved communication and dedicated sexual assault victim advocates.
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
