Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI)
In collaboration with the Prosecuting Attorney's Association of Michigan (PAAM) and Michigan Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention and Treatment Board, the Michigan Department of State Police is using SAKI grant funds to conduct a statewide inventory of unsubmitted (Sexual Assault Kits) SAKs in law enforcement custody, provide training to law enforcement and prosecutors, and assist with victim services in jurisdictions with a high volume of unsubmitted sexual assault evidence kits. These monies is also being used to fund the enhancement of a sexual assault evidence kit tracking system for victims and the outsourcing of DNA analysis of unsubmitted SAKs found during the inventory process.
The Michigan Department of State Police has used SAKI funding to achieve several goals and milestones:
New York County District Attorney's (DANY) Sexual Assault Kit Backlog Elimination Program
The DANY SAK grant program allowed Michigan to test all previously unsubmitted kits found during the statewide inventory. The initial estimate of previously unsubmitted kits was 3,600, with a final number of 3,440. The last kits completed testing in August 2018. The Michigan State Police (MSP) and its project partners could not have completed testing of all of the previously unsubmitted kits without the DANY SAK grant.
All case investigation and prosecution is being handled by local law enforcement and county prosecutors. There are currently two local investigation teams supported by funding from the Michigan Department of Attorney General and one investigation team supported by a Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) sub-award from MSP. The MSP is in the process of setting-up additional SAKI supported local investigation teams.

Michigan works to process untested rape kits
-Sarah Hurwitz, Wood TV, Apr 6, 2016
Testing of backlogged rape kits in Michigan became infamous when in 2009, prosecutors in Detroit discovered 11,000 untested sexual assault evidence kits, some dating as far back as the 1980's. Since then, Michigan has been working tirelessly not only to catch up on its backlog, but to ensure that this never happens again. The testing revealed more than 470 links to serial rapists and connections to cases in 35 other states. Testing and prosecution led to legislation that requires law enforcement to submit any kit for testing within 28 days.
