Tracking a Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit Using Track-Kit

If a survivor would like to obtain the status and location of their sexual assault evidence collection kit (SAECK), they can use Track-Kit. Track-Kit is a comprehensive, statewide, web-based tracking system for SAECKs. The system is mobile-friendly, anonymous, confidential, and free of charge to users. The information needed to access Track-Kit is the barcode or account username for the collected kit and a password for the account. The account information is given to the survivor when the collected kit is entered into the system.  Track-Kit provides information on both the SAECK and the toxicology kit. The kits will have different numbers; however only one login is needed to access both portions of the kit.

After entering this information, Track-Kit allows the survivor to see the status and location of the kit from the point of collection to its final storage location.

Track-Kit is a useful way to check in on the status and location of the SAECK. Track-Kit will not provide analysis or results from a kit.

  • If an incident is reported, a survivor can reach out to the detective or district attorney's office for information about analysis and findings. 
  • If the incident is not reported, the kit will be stored at the police department until it is reported to the police. 
  • If a survivor has a toxicology kit and does not report to the police, they can access results approximately 12 weeks from collection by calling the Toxicology Results Reporting Line toll-free at 866-269-3799. 
  • If a survivor has a toxicology kit and reports to the police, they can access toxicology kit results from the certified sexual assault investigator where the assault occured or from the district attorney handling their case.

The goal of Track-Kit is to enable survivors to readily track the status and location of their sexual assault evidence collection kit. This is a collaborative effort to support survivors and meet their needs while ensuring confidentiality. To access Track-Kit, visit ma.track-kit.us
