Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) possess skills in collecting evidence off of a person's body. Because of this, many law enforcement agencies utilize Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) centers to conduct both victim and suspect exams. Many SART centers also participate in the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), which uses SANEs to enter prisons and conduct exams any time an alleged assault occurs within a correctional facility.
