The Woman's Place

Forensic Nurse Professionals, Inc. is an independent sexual assault resource center located in Simi Valley, California. They provide objective medical-legal forensic examinations conducted by experienced Registered Nurses, known as Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs), for reported victims and suspects of sexual assault events. These SANEs can be called as experts in court proceedings by both prosecution and defense. With a focus on supporting and caring for sexual assault patients, Forensic Nurse Professionals ensures that individuals receive the necessary forensic examination, even if they have taken a shower, changed clothes, or brushed their teeth. The forensic nurse examiner will conduct a private interview, physically examine the patient, collect specimens for analysis, and provide information and referrals for their care. The forensic report and evidence will be turned over to law enforcement for investigation, and patients have the option to hold their evidence kit for an agreed-upon period of time before deciding whether to proceed with the investigation.Generated from the website
