In FY2023, SAKI awarded the Colorado Department of Public Safety $500,000 to investigate unresolved homicide cases that involve a sexual component. Of the 1,354 unresolved homicide cases statewide, the Colorado Department of Public Safety identified 188 cases that meet these criteria. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will meet with members of the investigating agency, CBI Forensic Services, and the relevant district attorney's office to review the remaining items of evidence to determine if additional forensic testing can be done, to include forensic genetic genealogy.

Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
