The SAKI Unit's work has led to 24 arrests and closed cases since 2019.
The department’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Unit is a grant-funded collaboration with the Summit County Prosecutors Office, Ohio BCI, Victim Assistance Program and the Rape Crisis Center.
The program received a $150,000 grant in 2020 to continue advanced DNA testing and research to identify cold case sexual assault suspects. As of January 1, 2022, the SAKI Unit has investigated and closed 24 cases via arrest, and brought 55 charges of 15 suspects, nine of whom were serial offenders, according to officials.
