. - STATEMENT OF WORK

The purpose of this firm-fixed price contract is to obtain Community-Oriented Policing Services. The Contractor shall perform all services described in this Statement of Work and shall furnish all administrative, supervision and direct labor personnel that are necessary to accomplish the work in this contract.

1. General Information

The United States Government (USG) supports the establishment of transparent, accountable, and credible civilian justice and security institutions managed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), as well as development and adherence to the rule-of-law within the West Bank and the creation of a Palestinian state, existing side-by-side with Israel in peace and security.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) at U.S. Embassy Jerusalem assessed Palestinian security, justice, and corrections systems in 2021. Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF) lack freedom of movement and access in Areas B and C without being granted Israeli approval first, which often can take hours and render police assistance pointless at times. Moreover, Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) has found it challenging to enter and operate in some of the 19 refugee camps within the West Bank, which also provides fugitives easy hiding places. The foregoing has had an adverse impact on the ability of civilian security and justice agencies to perform their respective roles, enforce Palestinian law, and provide citizens with prompt and effective justice. It has also resulted in loss of confidence in the ability of the PCP to protect and provide quality police services to PA residents.

Due to the foregoing, INL is proposing to implement a Community-Oriented Policing program in collaboration with the PCP.

Attachment A- PCP Organization Chart is provided for orientation.

The Community-Oriented Policing Program shall start in four (4) or five (5) diverse communities, which will be chosen with assistance from PCP, and if proven successful, replicated throughout the West Bank later. The idea is to take an existing Palestinian Authority (PA)-owned or long-term leased, or community-owned building and refurbish/rehabilitate and equip it so it can become the focal point Community Center where numerous services shall be provided. For example, it can provide meeting space for women and youth clubs, summer camps for children, event space for local celebrations, social services like family counseling, public health information sessions, conflict resolution centers where local leaders can meet with residents in to mitigate conflicts at an early stage, thus strengthening their role within that community.

In addition, the PCP would always have a limited presence at these Centers with specially trained community-policing personnel permanently assigned there on a 24/7 basis. These specially trained community-policing PCP personnel, in addition to gathering information on criminal activity, would also be responsible for developing a wide range of community-policing initiatives, such as but not limited to: giving specialized talks regarding safety and crime reduction programs, neighborhood watch, citizen police academies, police mentoring programs for children and youth interested in careers in policing.

Community residents (and those from neighboring towns and villages) would be able to come to these Centers to enjoy these services.

Once the building has been completed, it will be managed and sustained by the local municipality and its tenants, or any other arrangement as agreed by the PA.

Current Status

INL presently has no plans to undertake new construction. Renovation of infrastructure or refurbishment of existing structures may be authorized on a case-by-case basis. Provision of critical equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and other support must be conditioned on the PA’s development of maintenance, upgrade, and replacement plans. The provision of equipment is often dependent on Israeli approval.

INL’s 2021 Assessment concluded that INL’s programmatic efforts should focus on the following areas:

• Enabling efficient, effective, strategic, transparent, and accountable human resource practices and material support to address human resource technology needs in both law enforcement and justice agencies.

• Improving criminal investigation capacity to tackle complex crimes, to include money laundering, cybercrime, and organized crime.

• Improving the services police and justice institutions provide to the public including increasing accountability, thereby boosting public perception and confidence in these institutions; and

• Raising awareness of victims of domestic violence, particularly women, of their access to available services.

The goal is to provide the PCP with the technical, operational, and strategic capacity to provide and sustain basic police services with an emphasis on public safety, investigations, crime prevention, gender and family-based violence accountability, and crime scene investigations and forensic sciences. INL is addressing some of these requirements under provisions of a separate Justice and Law Enforcement contract focused on developing prosecutor/police joint competencies.

Currently, the EU Coordinating Office for Palestinian Police Support (EUPOL COPPS), is implementing a community policing initiative which is intended to reduce police emphasis on reactionary response to crime and focus on social development and crime prevention, with priority given to the community’s most vulnerable. Within this initiative is deployment of mobile police stations in all eleven police districts in the West Bank, as well as upgrading IT equipment to improve communication with the public and promote the concept of community policing. It is expected that INL’s community policing project will consult with EUPOL COPPS and design and implement the INL community policing program which complements and coordinates with the EUPOL COPPS initiative.

It is against this backdrop that INL’s assistance aims to support the PA in building professional and effective law enforcement institutions which promote security and stability in the West Bank, uphold the rule-of-law, protect the population, and contribute to regional security.

1.1 Program Requirements

Goal, Performance and Monitoring Plan, Illustrative Activities

INL Jerusalem’s Security Sector Assistance Project (SSAP) seeks to strengthen the civilian rule-of-law in the West Bank by improving institutional capacity to provide and sustain basic police services and investigate criminal activity in accordance with universal standards of justice and human rights. In addition, government authorities and citizens will gain a better understanding of security and criminal threats and will act with mutual respect to address these threats.

After two years, the PCP and other Palestinian law enforcement organizations will have measurably improved (pre/post evaluations) their capabilities to respond to crime in a manner which recognizes and respects human rights.

Overall program goals are expected to foster bodies and mechanisms which:

• Are responsive to citizen concerns regarding crime, reporting terrorism and security.

• Strengthen coordination among law enforcement entities and with the public prosecutors.

• Are transparent in their approach and respect for fundamental values of human rights.

• Deliver prompt and effective outcomes, in accordance with universal standards of justice and which recognize the rights of women, juveniles, indigents and other marginalized groups.

• Improve public perception and respect for local law enforcement so police are seen as respectful and responsive community partners.

INL recognizes five core components to an effective criminal justice system: law enforcement, prosecution, civil society and criminal defense, the judiciary, and corrections. INL’s strategic goals include, amongst others:

• Foster legitimate, inclusive, transparent, and accountable criminal justice systems that equitably serve their communities and instill trust in public institutions and governance.

• Promote strong criminal justice institutions that are sustainable, fair, equitable, accessible, inclusive, humane, and address the needs of the population, including marginalized, underserved, and underrepresented communities.

• Disruption of transnational crime.

• Advance the rule-of-law and combat corruption and illicit financing.

• Improve ability to counter cybercrime.

• Improve anti-money laundering.

• Promote human rights and provide fair and equal justice to all citizens.

• Counter cybercrime and promote cybersecurity.

Illustrative Activities

The below listed Illustrative Activities for each Objective are not all inclusive but highlight key efforts that are most likely necessary to accomplish these Objectives.

The Contractor shall develop a technical approach that enables and facilitates these listed Activities, as well as Activities suggested by the Contractor and approved by INL. Program success will largely be measured by achievements of targeted Outcomes, with Activities and Outputs being the tools to achieve Outcomes, and not ends in and of themselves.

1.2 Community-Oriented Policing Program

Objective – PCP responsiveness to local safety and security concerns to communities of all sizes to improve police-community collaborative partnership. Community members trust and respect the PCP as the primary law enforcement program of the PASF in the West Bank.

Supporting Sub-Component PCP established effective West Bank collaborative community partnership based on the mutual trust and respect of community partners in up to 5 locations. In the first year Jericho, Bethlehem and Ramallah will be the first sites to receive services.

Sub-Objective: Identify up to three governorates (North, Middle and South regions to select five communities for pilot Community- Oriented Policing (COP) projects to test proof of concept, gauge PA will and competencies, assess outcomes, and identify adjustments before expanding COP project across the West Bank. By the second year of the project, PA will have a sustainment plan for upkeep of community centers, replenish needed supplies, service police equipment (required maintenance) and develop a schedule to keep specially selected and trained PCP personnel in place. Upon the successful completion of the two-year pilot phase, the Community- Oriented Policing model may be expanded to other areas in the West Bank.

Illustrative Activities

• Review findings from an INL-conducted survey of the public perceptions of the PCP in the West Bank to identify needs, expectations, and desires for improvement of PCP services.

• Work with PCP to identify up to three governorates (North, Middle and South regions) to select five communities for pilot Community-Oriented Policing (COP) projects.

• Submit pilot priorities for INL/Jerusalem approval.

• Establish partnership agreements with community institutions that are willing to host this mechanism.

• Facilitate the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (or similar document) with PCP and INL where all parties acknowledge their role and participation in COP success.

• Oversee space allocation and any required construction/renovation.

• Procure needed furniture, equipment, vehicles, and anything else necessary.

• Ensure that PCP allocates permanent staff to have 24/7 presence to provide policing services in the Community Policing

Centers.

Expected Outcomes

• PCP’s COP units and community organizations have access to a centralized location specifically designated to facilitate COP programming and mission.

• PCP develops effective West Bank community partnership in five selected communities based on the mutual trust and respect of a collaborative partner.

• Public has 24/7 access to PCP services in those centers.
