The team met with TMG investigative training consultants to discuss an on-site PREA Training for the Fulton County investigation team. If grantee decides to use TMG consultants independently for the training, the coaches will not participate in any further discussions and will only require Fulton to provide periodic updates.
The team discussed revising the HR policy to include criminal background checks at hire, promotion, and every 5 years and to include PREA questions on applications/in interviews, at promotion and on written performance evaluations. The team considered adding the PREA questions to the application supplemental questions, pre-screening questions and/or during the background check interview. The team discussed adding criminal background checks to the promotion process as well as asking staff the required PREA questions. The team also discussed a supplement to the staff annual performance evaluation that will require staff to answer PREA-related questions. Ideas were provided on how to begin updating current staff who have not been criminal background checked since hire.
The team discussed grant strategies and FITA request to fund a PREA Specialized Investigations training. FITA was denied by PRC because the grantee has unspent grant funds to cover the training.
