Notice text
The mission of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. The Bureau has 122 prisons of various security levels, 6 regional offices, a headquarters, 2 staff training centers, and 24 residential reentry management offices. The Bureau is a leader in correctional excellence and is consistently recognized as an outstanding government agency.
The First Step Act, Sec. 606 requires the Bureau to incorporate into staff training procedures information on how to, “(1) de-escalate encounters between a law enforcement officer…and a civilian or a prisoner,” and, “(2) identify and appropriately respond to incidents that involve the unique needs of individuals who have a mental illness or cognitive deficit.”
The Reentry Services Division (RSD), Psychology Services Branch (PSB), requires the services of a professional training contractor with demonstrated experience training law enforcement and/or correctional staff in techniques of de-escalation and crisis communication. The contractor must possess expertise in the field of verbal de-escalation with individuals who are violent, mentally ill, and/or cognitively disabled with skills necessary to deliver appropriate group, Train the Trainer (T4T), and/or one-on-one training should the need arise. The scope of work for this contract addresses two areas: de-escalation and program evaluation.
