This program supports cooperative efforts among law enforcement officers, prosecutors, victim service providers, and other community partners to investigate and prosecute sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; treatment, advocacy, counseling, legal assistance, or other victim services for victims in rural communities; or programs addressing sexual assault. The Rural Program also includes a Rural Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Initiative to support the implementation of new SANE services in communities where they previously did not exist.
