Nurses also examine suspects. SART serves the County of Monterey and is an interdisciplinary team comprised of Law enforcement, victim advocates, nurse examiners, the District Attorney, and the Department of Justice Criminalist. All examinations include referral to counseling, advocacy agencies, and appropriate medical care. Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and Law Enforcement agencies implement a coordinated effort to assist the Criminal Justice System in proper collection of evidence, interpretation of findings, and presentation of expert opinion.
