Other evidence

Collect other evidence.  Other evidence may be collected beyond what is needed for the sexual assault evidence collection kit.
Toxicology samples.  Make the decision about whether to collect toxicology samples for forensic purposes, what to collect, and collection methods according to jurisdictional policy. Do not put toxicology samples in the sexual assault evidence collection kit, unless otherwise indicated. Identify which forensic labs the jurisdiction has selected to analyze these samples, choose a lab, and follow transfer policies. (See C.7. Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault for more information on collecting toxicology samples.)
