Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune A sexual assault evidence collection kit is displayed as the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) group and a new information line are introduced to the public at a press conference on July 19, 2017 at the DPS Crime Lab in Taylorsville. The Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) and the Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) have established a group dedicated to pursuing justice for victims of sexual assault. That group includes a new victim advocate who will be the point of contact for victims seeking resources and the status of their sexual assault kit. A new information line has been set up for victims to connect directly to a victim advocate.
