During this reporting period, the PREA Coordinator abruptly left their position. An interim PC was identified; however, the PREA implementation has slowed significantly so the interim PC can better understand what is required for PREA compliance and grant strategy completion. An NCE, budget and program GAM was discussed, reviewed, revised and submitted. The NCE was approved. TMG coaches and administrative staff were heavily involved in guiding the agency through this process. The MOU with Swedish-American Hospital was not approved and signed by the county's court services director. GTL set up the housing unit telephones for outside reporting. The PC was provided with a list of areas that require updates: the webpage, staffing plan, data collecting procedures, and annual reports. The staff PREA training was condensed for use with non-staff volunteers, contractors, and probation/court staff who have contact with residents. A staff member was identified as a PREA investigator and the PREA investigator's packet was formalized. A uniform incident report form has been developed. The PREA signage goal is complete. The PREA education for residents was revised. PREA policy review was conducted. An on-site visit was conducted on November 28-30, 2023. Updates to the PREA postings since the last visit were reviewed. The coaches conducted procedural, and evidence reviews of various PREA Standards sections. The PC provided documents and the team met with staff from HR, training, administration, intake, classification, security, medical/mental health and investigations. A staffing plan was discussed, and development begun. A close-out meeting was conducted to discuss the agencies PREA audit readiness and recommendations were made to enhance PREA compliance.
