Establishing Accurate, Consistent Standards for Sexual Assault Evidence Collection, Processing & Custody Throughout the US

Using modern technology for tracking all sexual assault evidence helps prosecute and prolong incarceration to deter serial rapists.  Evidence collection after sexual assault requires proper documentation, handling and transfer of evidence.  Accurate, consistent reporting of sexual assaults allows clear communication between agencies and jurisdictions.

Primary Marking System’s more than 20 years experience with tracking technology is fundamental to the development of our multi-patented evidence collection and tracking software, eTWIST^® (Evidence Tracking With Information Solutions Technology). The eSAFE^® (Sexual Assault Forensic Examination) back-end system provides maximum security for all information collected.

As states begin to legislate evidence collection procedures following sexual assaults, these systems provide proper documentation/collection, handling and custody of evidence. Systems can be adapted to meet any jurisdictional procedures and all the legally-mandated practices that vary from state to state.

• Many rapists are serial rapists. It is imperative they are apprehended and convicted.
• Proper chain of custody for DNA evidence can be vital to conviction
• Simple tracking technology used in most industries can begin to stop the national epidemic of untested and missing SAKs
• Evidence in acquaintance rape may provide a DNA match to identify previously unknown assailants
