TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The state’s investigation bureau is trying to determine if Kansas has a backlog of untested sexual assault kits.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the kits include swabs and specimens gathered during exams of sexual assault victims.

Officials say that across the country, hundreds of thousands of the sexual assault kits remain untested.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation recently sent surveys to all Kansas law enforcement agencies to see if there is a backlog problem. KBI Director Kirk Thompson says the state agency doesn’t think there’s a backlog issue in Kansas, but wants to be sure that’s the case.

KBI hopes to begin analyzing the survey’s results starting next year.

Thompson says that 66 kits are currently awaiting testing at KBI labs.
