Sexual Assault response team

The Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) works to limit the obstacles individuals face as they struggle to cope with the aftermath of sexual assault. Working closely with local law enforcement, the legal system, medical professionals, and the community, SART employs a cohesive, team-based response to assist victim-survivors of sexual violence.
 
 
Our SART Coordinators are available to:
  • Provide compassionate, confidential support.
  • Provide options that can help you decide whether or not to report a sexual assault to law enforcement.
  • Provide support and accompaniment during police interviews or other procedures involving law enforcement.
  • Accompany and support survivors and support persons during interactions with the District Attorney’s Office.
  • Help arrange medical exams and support during the exams, if you decide to seek them.
  • Provide follow up assistance and support as needed.
  • Keep survivors up to date on the progress of the investigation.
  • Provide survivors and family members with accurate information about the criminal justice system.
  • Make referrals to community resources.
  • Help survivors file for victim compensation, if appropriate.
