Processing more evidence, finding more answers. Idaho 2020 Sexual Assault Kit Tracking Report Now Available
ISP Headquarters 700 S. Stratford Dr., Meridian, ID 83642 (208) 884-7000
For Immediate Release: 01/20/21 2:55 P.M.
Please direct questions to the ISP Public Affairs Office isppio@isp.idaho.gov
In 2020, despite ongoing public health challenges, Idaho continued to make progress processing and tracking sexual assault kits, often a key piece of evidence for investigators.
The 2020 report shows the number of sexual assault kits collected has remained fairly constant since 2017, however, the percentage of cases not investigated shows a notable decrease.
"The kit tracking system is designed to build trust with survivors and provide critical information to policy and lawmakers. ISP's role is to train and educate, process, and track these kits, which taken all together, means a more efficient and responsive criminal justice system," said Matthew Gamette, Director of ISP Forensic Services.
Since new legislation went into effect in 2016, the Idaho State Police Forensic Services has provided legislators with regular updates on this topic including a publically available annual report on Idaho's Sexual Assault Tracking Kit System (IKTS). The 2020 Sexual Assault Kit Tracking Report, along with reports issued since 2017, is now available on the Idaho State Police website https://isp.idaho.gov/forensics/saktrak/.

On New Year's Eve, members of the North Idaho DUI Task Force, @DuiIdaho tweeted "Don't be the reason someone loses the one they love tonight". The message was meant to encourage drivers to plan ahead for a safe ride home if their celebration included alcohol. Sadly, not everyone heeded their advice.
Between Thursday, December 31, 2020 and Sunday, January 3, 2021:
- Idaho State Police Troopers arrested 52 people charged with driving under the influence.
Between Friday, December 18, 2020 and Sunday, January 3, 2021:
- Idaho State Troopers arrested 127 people charged with DUI offenses.
"The most important number is one we can't calculate, and that's the number of people not injured in a DUI-related crash," said Trooper Scott Bolen, an ISP Law Enforcement Liaison with the ITD Office of Highway Safety.
"We always urge folks that, if their plans involve alcohol, to have a plan to get home safely. Most people actually do that, and we appreciate them. But for those who don't, we work hard to hunt them down before they hurt themselves or someone else. And that effort continues all year."
Several DUI arrests were the result of calls from other drivers reporting a driver who may be impaired. The ISP is grateful to those citizens.
If you see what you think may be an impaired driver, call 911 or *ISP(*477).
ISP takes advantage of available grants to fund participation in nationwide education and enforcement campaigns, like the recent effort over the holidays. However, ISP Troopers are on the roads all day every day to keep impaired drivers off the roadways, and enforcing traffic and equipment laws to educate drivers on staying safe. Drive Well Idaho!

Additional DUI patrols scheduled during the recent holidays are funded by a grant from the Idaho Transportation Department Office of Highway Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thank you to these agencies for supporting ISP's efforts to keep Idaho's roadways safe.
