  • Wisconsin Legislative Initiative

    Wisconsin Legislative Initiative

    The Wisconsin Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (WiSAKI) is a statewide effort to address the accumulation of unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs) in the possession of local law enforcement agencies and hospitals. Initiated by the Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Response Team (AG SART) and led by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ), WiSAKI is a collaborative effort among law enforcement, victim advocates, sexual assault nurse examiners, prosecutors, health care systems, and the Wisconsin State Crime Lab (WSCL).

    We now know there is value in testing kits, even when the evidence does not seem necessary in the immediate case. Finding the offender’s DNA may link that offender to other assaults and can have the power to bring justice for other victims. Further, if DNA links multiple offenses together, then often the prosecutions can be linked.

    The DOJ process all submitted kits in an effort to bring justice to sexual assault survivors.
