In FY2020, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) received $1,000,000 in SAKI funding. TBI will use this funding to compose a statewide census of lawfully owed DNA profiles missing from the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) and identify the best strategies for the collection, testing, and uploading of profiles—which will bring resolution to many victims and families impacted by the violent and sexual crimes throughout Tennessee.

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.
