SART
Sexual Assault Response Team:
SARTs are a multidisciplinary team comprised of advocates, law enforcement officers, forensic medical examiners—including sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs), forensic laboratory personnel, and prosecutors. They partner together to provide inter agency, coordinated responses that make victims' needs a priority, hold offenders accountable, and promote public safety.
