The Subject Matter Expert will assist CRCL in: (1) the review and assessment of civil rights or civil liberties allegations involving DHS law enforcement or policing practices issues that result from or are related to a DHS program or activity; and (2) the development of policy recommendations designed to address any identified problems. The expert will also serve as a consultant on other CRCL matters related to law enforcement or policing practices, including reviews initiated by DHS leadership, substantive work groups, and other activities
Policing and Law Enforcement services are required to evaluate complaints received pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 345 and 42 U.S.C. § 2000-ee-1 and also to oversee compliance with constitutional, statutory, regulatory, policy, and other requirements related to civil rights and civil liberties. In addition to evaluating complaints, the contractor shall provide assistance related to activities that arise within CRCL’s authority, including, but not limited to research, analysis, and/or development of system- wide standards, policies, procedures, and training.

In particular, the experts shall also be required to prepare detailed reports regarding their observations and findings, as well as to provide recommendations based upon applicable standards.
