Allegheny County Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI)

Victim Portal

The Allegheny County Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) is critical to enhancing the criminal justice response to sexual assault and ensuring justice for victims. SAKI funding will help connect victims to advocates and needed services. SAKI also helps jurisdictions implement best practices and comprehensive reform to help bring people who commit sexual assault to justice, and increase safety in communities by preventing future sexual assaults.

In 2019, the Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded SAKI funding to Allegheny County. Project stakeholders jointly endeavored to enhance community outreach and survivor outreach programs through a community portal. The web portal allows for victims of sexual assault to pursue information on the status of their case, in their own time. The website strives to ensure the most supportive and effective methods of communication, and information sharing, by connecting victims with a case liaison who will coordinate efforts between victim advocacy groups and law enforcement.
