PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Protective Intelligence Practical Exercise Interview Training

Part 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTION:

The United States Secret Service (USSS) James J. Rowley Training Center (RTC) provides all specialized training for USSS Special Agents and Secret Service Police Officers. The mission is to prepare USSS Special Agents and Police Officers to deal with subjects who directly have an interest or nexus to the people we protect. These individuals typically live with mental illness requiring our Special Agents and Police Officers to understand the fundamentals of various mental illnesses, how these affect a person’s perception of reality and how to communicate with these persons effectively.

These Protective Intelligence (PI) skills require that Special Agents and Police Officers understand and be able to employ a variety of specialized investigative tools and techniques. Among these is the ability to interview PI subjects, the individuals whose threats, unusual direction of interest and inappropriate behaviors place them at the center of PI investigations.

Special Agents and Uniformed Division officers must possess specialized interviewing skills that are highlighted by two important facts. First, the primary objective of U.S.

Secret Service protective intelligence investigations is to render a sound evaluation of a subject’s risk of unwanted outcome. This requires that Special Agents and Uniformed Division officers execute protective intelligence interviews in a manner that differs in key aspects from traditional criminal interrogations. Second, most U.S.

Secret Service protective intelligence subjects live with mental illness. This requires that Special Agents and Uniformed Division officers understand the fundamentals of various mental illnesses, how these affect a person’s perception of reality, and how to communicate with these people effectively.

1.1 Scope:

This is a non-personal services contract/order to provide contractor services to instruct protective intelligence practical exercise interview training as part of the USSS protective intelligence basic and advance training program. This procurement is for a primary instructor (psychologist) and a secondary instructor (psycho dramatist).

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items of non-personal services necessary to perform lectures, demonstrations, and psycho dramatic roles at RTC facilities as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as Government

Furnished Property (GFP) and services. The contractor shall accomplish all lectures, demonstrations, and psycho dramatic roles on the dates scheduled, within the times allotted

1.2. Specific Tasks:

The contracted psychologist and psycho dramatist will provide all academic knowledge, skills and experiences along with goods or services produced such as research reports, curriculum development, lecture notes, or educational data sets, demonstrations of potential interviews or encounters with subjects displaying various mental illnesses and practical exercises or lectures on how to handle such encounters, to USSS Special Agents and Police Officers.

1.2.1. Basic Services:

Contractors shall provide their own transportation to and from RTC at their expense along with lecture notes, Power Point handouts, and any lecture material. Contractors will also provide their own costumes, make up, appearance modification disguises, props, or any item carried or worn specifically to develop their character(s).

1) Protective Intelligence Simulations – Special Agent Training Course (SATC)

• Duration: 2-DAY Course (A & B Sessions, 8 hours each) Total of 16 hours = 1 Class

• Number of Students in attendance per session/class: Maximum of 24 Students Total

The objective of this course of instruction is to provide SATC recruits an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the protective intelligence threat assessment process and cultivate their skills at interviewing and assessing protective intelligence subjects. This will be accomplished through brief classroom instruction at the start of class, and through several distinct simulated protective intelligence interview scenarios. The primary instructor will facilitate instruction, including instruction at the start of class, and coach/guide recruits during the simulated protective intelligence interviews. The secondary instructor (Psycho dramatist) will portray the protective intelligence subjects during the simulated interviews and provide feedback at the conclusion of the training class. The primary instructor must have conducted numerous mental health evaluations and treatment of mentally ill patients suffering from various disorders to include Schizophrenia, Bipolar Mood Disorder, and Antisocial Disorder. The secondary instructor or psycho-dramatist will portray the roles in the simulated protective intelligence interviews. He or she must be trained to the standards of the American Board of Examiners in Psychodrama and Sociometry and must have experience working in a law enforcement environment, portraying persons who live with a variety of mental illnesses.

A ‘stop-action’ coaching methodology will be employed by the primary and secondary instructor during the simulated protective intelligence interviews. This will give the primary instructor the opportunity to provide Special Agent recruits with real-time feedback during the practical exercises. It will also allow the primary instructor to replace the recruits conducting the interview, thereby allowing all recruits the chance to participate in the simulated protective intelligence interviews.

All simulated protective intelligence interviews will be observed by the entire class. The recruits’ participation in the simulated interviews will serve as the catalyst for the primary instructor to speak with recruits about the information learned during the interviews, strategies for case management, and related considerations. The recruits’ participation in the simulated interviews will also serve as the catalyst for RTC PI Section staff to provide recruits operational guidance regarding how the simulated PI interview scenarios would be managed in the real world.

This class will be delivered to a maximum of 24 total Special Agent recruits over the course of two days. One group of 12 recruits will receive instruction on the first day, and the second group of 12 recruits will receive instruction on the second day. This two-day format will allow all 24 students to participate in the simulated interviews and associated discussions regarding case management.

Each simulated interview will be designed by the primary and/or secondary instructor with input from RTC PI program staff.

The primary and secondary instructors must possess sufficient versatility in the facilitation of instruction and portrayal of the roles to allow for adjustments to meet the individual learning needs of the recruits. To this end, the primary and secondary instructors must have a thorough understanding of the concept of protective intelligence, coupled with an in-depth appreciation of the behavioral analysis approach to protective intelligence investigations.

As a caveat to the above requirements, the primary instructor shall be responsible for providing the RTC PI Section with suitable replacements if the primary and/or secondary instructor are not available to instruct an SATC class as scheduled. The replacements are expected to possess credentials and a level of experience suitable for a law enforcement training environment. The replacements will be compensated by the primary instructor as subcontractors, and no additional payment for this service will be provided by the U.S.

Secret Service. The replacement instructors must be able to pass a background investigation to gain access to U.S. Secret Service facilities and information. RTC PI Section management reserves the right to vet the academic credentials presented by the replacement primary and/or secondary instructors, including their psycho-dramatist credentials, prior to a scheduled class. The primary instructor will provide the RTC PI Section staff sufficient notice of his or her intention to use a replacement or replacements to allow the RTC PI Section staff an opportunity to complete the vetting process and arrange for proper security clearances for the individual.

The primary and/or secondary instructor shall work with RTC PI Section staff to create and/or update and/or modify the interview scenarios periodically to ensure their timeliness and relevance.
