ISP implementing tracking system for sexual assault survivors

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services will  implement an online sexual assault tracking system by the end of the year. The sexual assault tracking system will allow survivors of sexual assault to monitor their evidence online throughout the entire process, from collection at the hospital, through law enforcement pick-up and submission to the forensic lab, and lastly to the State’s Attorney’s office where final results are received. The tracking of sexual assault kits allow survivors to check on the status of their evidence without compromising their privacy.
