Which staff is NOT part of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)?

The correct answer identifies medical professionals who operate outside the facility as not being part of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). SART typically comprises professionals directly involved in responding to sexual assault cases within a specific jurisdiction or area of operations, such as law enforcement, Correctional Health Services staff, and designated jail crimes investigators. These team members work cohesively to ensure that victims receive the necessary immediate care, support, and investigation, all while adhering to established protocols.

In contrast, medical professionals who are not based within the facility would not be included in the SART framework, as they do not have direct access or familiarity with the processes, policies, and communication channels that govern the internal handling of sexual assault cases within the detention setting. Their external status may also limit their ability to provide immediate assistance during the initial response phase, thereby making their involvement in the SART structure impractical. Their role may be more relevant in referrals or later stages of treatment, but they do not participate as core members of the response team for incidents that occur within the facility.
