Eliminate Indiana's rape kit backlog, support survivors' justice

To: Rep. Greene, Sen. Walker, Gov. Holcomb

From: A constituent in Franklin, IN

December 18

It is unacceptable that Indiana has a backlog of at least 6,600 untested rape kits, denying justice and closure to survivors. The proposed legislation to create an annual report detailing the extent of this issue is a crucial first step. By gathering comprehensive data, lawmakers can make informed decisions on allocating resources most effectively to eliminate the backlog, whether that involves increased funding for testing kits, enhancing crime lab capacity, or addressing workforce shortages. Survivors deserve swift processing of evidence and timely pursuit of their cases. Tackling this backlog must be a priority to uphold justice and support those impacted by sexual violence. Transparent reporting will maintain accountability and enable strategic solutions to this longstanding problem.
