The Preserve Group Details
The PRESERVEkit is a self-administered sexual assault evidence collection kit. Valuable physical evidence is lost when survivors don't have a rape kit performed within the first hours or days after a sexual assault.The PRESERVEkit is a tool for survivors to collect their own evidence, if they are not able to do a rape kit, for use at a later date within the judicial system.The PRESERVEkit was developed by retired FBI Special Agent Jane Mason who is a specialist in evidence collection. She was a team leader on the elite FBI Evidence Response Team (ERT) in the New York Office and collected evidence on matters of international, national and local importance. Now, her Private Investigations practice brings her in touch with survivors of sexual assault who are asking for help. Many of the survivors Jane met had been unable to report the crime and the physical evidence was not preserved. After conducting extensive research, Jane was shocked to learn there is no publicly available guidance geared toward survivors to help them properly collect their own evidence.Inspired by knowledge of evidence collection and compassion for survivors, she formed the Team at The Preserve Group to help make PRESERVEkit available to all survivors of sexual assault. Available in June of 2019.
