Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)
A sexual assault response team (SART) is a multidisciplinary team response to victims of sexual assault. The team consists of law enforcement personnel, a SANE nurse, and a sexual assault victim advocate. SARTs are organized for and by each community to meet the unique needs of the area. A functioning SART in communities is beneficial for improving evidence collection, increasing reports of sexual victimization, increasing prosecution rates, reducing costs, and reducing retraumatization to victims.For more information on sexual assault response teams, the following resources are available:
