Objective 1: Provide the resources,
strategies and mechanisms to advise the Attorney General in
evaluating the proposed standards submitted by NPREC by
bringing together representatives of major relevant
practitioner stakeholder organizations (for example, ASCA,
AJA, NSA, IACP, CALEA, APPA, ACA) and the Federal Bureau of
Prisons.
Objective 2: Capture information from BJA-funded PREA
projects to enable sharing of information and knowledge
transfer which will assist agencies to comply with the
promulgated standards and include identifying “centers of
excellence” learning sites;|
Objective 3: Identify the training and technical
assistance needs of organizations, including methods and
strategies, to be able move toward compliance with the
standards ultimately promulgated.
Objective 4: Provide for effective project
management, coordination with BJA and stakeholders, with an
emphasis on communications to achieve the first three
objectives.
These objectives will be
accomplished in close cooperation with BJA, in partnership
with organizations that have assisted NPREC in their work,
while assuring the widest possible network is galvanized to
gather information, data, and input from those who may not
have had the same access or influence in the development of
the draft standards. A premium will be placed on identifying
existing resources, reports and related documents to assure
the most cost-effective use of project funds. During this
project period the BJA web-site can be used by agencies
throughout the country that are potentially impacted by the
proposed NPREC standards to learn the latest news on the
review process, as well as learn where to make their
opinions heard, add input, find out where to attend
meetings/briefings, and learn what their peers have
accomplished.
