PSB-CY Statement of Objectives (20 Jan 23).docx

Problematic Sexual Behavior in Children and Youth (PSB-CY) Guest Instructors

Introduction

In response to rising crime rates during the 1970s, victims of violent crimes initiated a grass roots initiative referred to as the Victims Movement. Over the next 30 years citizens expanded their efforts in responding to crime by influencing state and federal government to legislate harsher penalties for violent offenders and formal recognition for their victims. Ultimately, in 2012 criminal justice reform motivated Congress to mandate that violent crime in our military be more effectively addressed with specific focus on Special Victim Crimes including child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Since 2019, new spheres of training law enforcement, SHARP, and Family Advocacy Program personnel have been identified in the areas of cultural competency, animal abuse investigations, and critical thinking. The Special Victims Capabilities Division’s (SVCD) training programs are specifically designed to provide a higher level of proficiency and understanding of the complexities of special victim investigations. This specialized skill set is essential to the process of investigating and prosecuting offenders within DoD while providing the best victim response and resources available. SVCD has met these demands by utilizing subject matter experts as core faculty within their courses, as well as bringing in nationally recognized experts to augment the instruction. The focus of these external experts has been on improving military readiness by the mitigation and prevention of offenses and victimization within the military organizational footprint through current evidence-based practices. Training is designed to enhance identification, apprehension, investigation, interrogation, and prosecution of serious and violent offenders through better understanding of the psychological and motivational factors of offender behavior as well as victim-offender relationships and victimology. Through improved understanding of the dynamics of victim behavior and interaction with potential offenders, training is also designed to inform on prevention, mitigation, and response to victimization.

PSB-CY is a 5-day course on children who exhibit or are impacted by problematic sexual behavior. This training is designed to provide an introductory understanding of normative and problematic sexual behavior in children (age 12 and under), the origins of problematic sexual behavior, myths/misconceptions about the population, evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies for children who exhibit sexual behavior problems and how professionals can support children and families affected will be discussed. PSB-CY lays the foundation for understanding PSB-CY, and the multidisciplinary team approach to addressing PSB-CY. The PSB-CY instructors combine trauma-informed care, evidence-based treatments, and the regulatory procedures for the multidisciplinary team response to PSB cases. Instructors facilitate practical exercises and case conceptualization which requires participants to review case scenarios involving children and families exhibiting and impacted by PSB. Instructors use branch, installation, and professional discipline distinctiveness to ensure participants are informed on civilian and military coordination with child protection and criminal justice professionals. The Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) curriculum consists of training collaboratively the following DOD professions: Department of Defense (DoD), Family Advocacy Program (FAP), Military Criminal Investigative Organizations (MCIO’s), New Parent Support Program (NPSP), Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) and Child Development Program (CDP), Military Family Life Consultant (MFLC) Staff Judge Advocate and Legal personnel, Behavioral Health personnel, Domestic Abuse Victim Advocate (DAVA) and Military School Liaison Officers (SLO). This course is taught as a residence course at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. PSB-CY is in the process of TRADOC approval.

DoDI 6400.10 and Public Law 115-232, Section 1089 (NDAA FY 19) requires a consistent, standardized response to PSB-CY across the Department of Defense, that any report or other allegation of PSB-CY on a military installation that is received by the installation commander, a law enforcement organization, a FAP, a CDC, an MTF or Department school shall be reviewed by the Family Advocacy Program on the installation, that FAP shall conduct multifaceted, multidisciplinary team, reviews and recommend treatment, counseling or other appropriate interventions for complainants and respondents. These regulations require subject matter experts in the field of problematic sexual behavior in children exhibiting as well as the experiencing child and their family to teach the most up to date and evidence-based practices.

The Problematic Sexual Behavior in Children and Youth (PSB-CY) Course has a variety of DoD personnel attending including Department of Defense Criminal Investigators, MCIO accredited Special Agents from the USACID, CGIS, and NCIS, Marine CID, Special Victims Prosecutors and paralegals, Special Victims Counselors, Military Police Investigators, DA and Military Police officers, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, Family Advocacy Victim Advocates, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, criminal analysists, and other military officer and enlisted members. As such, guest instructor invited to the courses need to be able to teach their expertise to an eclectic group while having a deep understanding of the military community and dynamics involved.

Objectives This contract is to provide instructional services for the PSB-CY Course. In support of this mission, the contractor shall provide qualified instructors who are able to effectively convey materials in the Government provided training support material, cumulating in DoD personnel who are well trained.

Scope The intent of this effort is to generate multiple blanket purchase agreements with multiple guest instructors for the above listed courses with an initial base year plus one (1) option years. The SVCD will use their Government Purchase Card (GPC) for all payments that are below the micro-purchase threshold on this contract.
