The State Journal
It was announced Monday that the state passed an important milepost in the effort to test the thousands-long backlog of rape kits.
Part of the “SAFE Act” passed last year required all members of the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation, which includes most of the state’s police agencies, to ratify a sexual response policy by Jan. 1. There is still a ways to go before the backlog can be cleared, but Monday’s news represents progress.
