Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) was one of the early grantees of the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), a program designed to address the nationwide plague of unsubmitted, untested sexual assault kits. JSO used SAKI funds to submit kits for analysis and also to assign advocates, investigators, and prosecutors to pursue investigative leads for previously overlooked cases. One of the outcomes of this initiative was a better understanding of sex crimes investigations – the challenges, shortcomings, and successes. Sergeant DeVevo will discuss the lessons learned, as well as the mistakes, and explore promising practices in cold case investigations.
Objectives
As a result of this session, participants will be better able to:
- Identify and avoid common investigative pitfalls.
- Demonstrate an effective way to navigate a cold case investigation, whether based on forensics or testimony.
- Conduct cold case specific interviews with victims, witnesses, and suspects.
