King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention (DAJD) continues to be on track for successful completion. During the October to December reporting period, DAJD has had steady contact with the JDI coaches. Due to changing needs in staffing due to COVID, DAJD has decided to redirect some grant funding to innovative training for their staff. DAJD has begun developing a training plan that involves small lessons designed to keep information regarding sexual safety fresh for the staff and their resident population, with a focus on identifying red flags and reporting.

The Los Angeles County Probation Department (LACPD) has worked on staff training and resident education. Due to difficulty in hiring a training officer to assist in curriculum development, the PREA team has begun work on curricula on its own. The TMG coaches have assisted in reviewing materials and providing edits. LACPD is hoping to move forward with initiating the PREA audit process to begin in the summer of 2021. This has added pressure on the PREA implementation team in order to be ready for the initial audit.

The site is experienced in managing BJA grants. They are well on their way to accomplish the goals set out in the original proposal. They have accomplished the milestone of drafting a RFP for a consultant team to assist in staffing analyses at their facilities. They have used coaching assistance well and we have set up monthly calls to discuss progress and problem solve.

During this reporting period, officials from the Puerto Rico Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DCR) had their project kick-off call with their JDI coaches. The meeting took place on December 10, 2020 and was attended by the PREA Coordinator and the Director of Federal Affairs. The site provided an overview of the agency?'s operations and current PREA-related needs, and learned about the coaches?' role and the implementation guide process.

CSG Justice Center staff conducted a virtual site visit with the grant team and other stakeholders. The focus of the virtual site visit was to learn more about the RFP for a one-stop-shop for crisis services of which will include the grant funded program. Discussion focused on law enforcement drop-off for the to-be-determined crisis services location and data collection.

The coaches provided assistance in completing the implementation guide and time task plan. Coaches also helped to review their staffing plan and sent resources to the grantee to assist the facility in keeping youth safe from sexual abuse.

We assisted the grantee in developing and completing their implementation plan. Specifically we helped them map out their goals and activities, and strategized ways to modify their budget.
