Opt In/Opt Out Line
The Minnesota SAKI Opt In/Opt Out line is a non-confidential messaging and referral system for individuals with a sexual assault kit. Callers can use the Opt In/Opt Out Request form or voicemail (651.400.7504) to request help getting information about their kit or to decline future contact about their case. Callers can always reach out and request information no matter how long ago the kit was collected.
Supported by the Minnesota Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) Project, which aims to create a coordinated community response that promotes just resolutions to sexual assault cases. This project is funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
