Sexual Assault Response Team
(SART)

SARTs are committed to victims' rights and needs, by organizing their service delivery to enhance evidence collection, and by educating the community about services available for the intervention and prevention of sexual assault (National Center for the Prosecution on Violence Against Women, 1998).

The SART is typically composed of:

 

  • Rape Crisis Centers

  • Victim Advocates

  • Law Enforcement

  • Hospital Personnel

  • Forensic Examiners

  • Forensic Scientists

  • Prosecutors

  • Any respondent who encounters survivors of sexual assault

 

Collin County SART is a multidisciplinary team working together to develop protocols and guidelines that focus on victims' needs through collaboration and a shared mission.

 

Research has shown that the collaboration of team members leads to increased reporting and conviction rates.  

If you are a community partner and you are interested in joining the Collin County SART, please contact us at  sart@theturningpoint.org.
