SUMMARY:Listening sessions for the Justice/Detention Facilities Design Handbook and Space Allocation updates
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader:The Office of Assistant Secretary -Indian Affairs (IA)\, Office of Facilities\, Property and Safety Management (OFPSM)\, Division of Facility Management and Construction (DFMC)\, invites your participation in Tribal Listening Sessions as part of the effort to modernize correctional facility design guidance across IA\, specifically for the following guidelines: \n\n\n\n\nBIA Justice Detention Facilities Design Handbook\n\n\n\nBIA Justice Detention Facilities Space Criteria\n\n\n\nBIA Justice Detention Facilities Space Templates\n\n\n\n\nThe current Justice/Detention Facilities Design Handbook\, Space Criteria\, and Space Templates were last updated in 2011 and can be accessed at: https://www.bia.gov/as-ia/ofpsm/dfmc/info. Since that time\, detention operations\, building technologies\, Tribal justice system needs\, and national safety and regulatory requirements have continued to evolve. Modernizing these documents is not a routine update\, but a key step in strengthening how IA supports safe\, secure\, and operationally effective correctional facilities serving Tribal communities. \n\n\n\nWhat We Are Evaluating\n\n\n\nAs we update the existing guidance\, IA is reviewing opportunities to: \n\n\n\n\nSupport more adaptable and efficient facility layouts for Tribal justice systems requirements;\n\n\n\nStrengthen alignment with applicable national standards\, safety codes\, and regulatory requirements;\n\n\n\nImprove clarity and usability of design guidance; and\n\n\n\nProvide flexibility without compromising safety\, security\, or compliance.\n\n\n\n\nOur objective is to help ensure Tribal detention centers are safe\, code compliant\, and operationally efficient while meeting the diverse needs ofTribal justice systems. \n\n\n\nKey Questions for Listening Sessions\n\n\n\nTo help guide the modernization effort\, we ask for your insight on the following refined questions: \n\n\n\n\nWhat facility functions or spaces would benefit from greater adaptability to support Tribaloperational needs\, programmatic priorities\, or changes in population or services?\n\n\n\nWhat trends\, challenges\, or developments in your community or justice system should IAconsider when updating correctional facility design guidance?\n\n\n\nWhat are the most important factors for ensuring that correctional facilities serving Tribalcommunities remain safe\, secure\, and operationally effective?\n\n\n\nAre there specific areas where current design guidance does not fully support Tribal needs orwhere clarification or improvement would be helpful?\n\n\n\n\nListening Sessions\n\n\n\nThe DFMC will host two 1.5-hour listening sessions to hear directly from Tribal leaders andrepresentatives before beginning updates to the design guidance. Please see below fordetails and advance registration links. \n\n\n\n\nJuly 14\, 2026 11:00 am MDT: Register\n\n\n\nJuly 16\, 2026 1:00 pm MDT: Register\n\n\n\n\nWritten comments may be submitted to consultation@bia.gov by August 21\, 2026. If you have anyquestions\, please contact consultation@bia.gov or Adam Drozek\, Branch Chief\, Public Safety &Justice Construction by email at adam.drozek@bia.gov. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to your input and appreciate your partnership in strengthening correctional facilitydesign for Tribal communities.

DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader:The Office of Assistant Secretary -Indian Affairs (IA)\, Office of Facilities\, Property and Safety Management (OFPSM)\, Division of Facility Management and Construction (DFMC)\, invites your participation in Tribal Listening Sessions as part of the effort to modernize correctional facility design guidance across IA\, specifically for the following guidelines: \n\n\n\n\nBIA Justice Detention Facilities Design Handbook\n\n\n\nBIA Justice Detention Facilities Space Criteria\n\n\n\nBIA Justice Detention Facilities Space Templates\n\n\n\n\nThe current Justice/Detention Facilities Design Handbook\, Space Criteria\, and Space Templates were last updated in 2011 and can be accessed at: https://www.bia.gov/as-ia/ofpsm/dfmc/info. Since that time\, detention operations\, building technologies\, Tribal justice system needs\, and national safety and regulatory requirements have continued to evolve. Modernizing these documents is not a routine update\, but a key step in strengthening how IA supports safe\, secure\, and operationally effective correctional facilities serving Tribal communities. \n\n\n\nWhat We Are Evaluating\n\n\n\nAs we update the existing guidance\, IA is reviewing opportunities to: \n\n\n\n\nSupport more adaptable and efficient facility layouts for Tribal justice systems requirements;\n\n\n\nStrengthen alignment with applicable national standards\, safety codes\, and regulatory requirements;\n\n\n\nImprove clarity and usability of design guidance; and\n\n\n\nProvide flexibility without compromising safety\, security\, or compliance.\n\n\n\n\nOur objective is to help ensure Tribal detention centers are safe\, code compliant\, and operationally efficient while meeting the diverse needs ofTribal justice systems. \n\n\n\nKey Questions for Listening Sessions\n\n\n\nTo help guide the modernization effort\, we ask for your insight on the following refined questions: \n\n\n\n\nWhat facility functions or spaces would benefit from greater adaptability to support Tribaloperational needs\, programmatic priorities\, or changes in population or services?\n\n\n\nWhat trends\, challenges\, or developments in your community or justice system should IAconsider when updating correctional facility design guidance?\n\n\n\nWhat are the most important factors for ensuring that correctional facilities serving Tribalcommunities remain safe\, secure\, and operationally effective?\n\n\n\nAre there specific areas where current design guidance does not fully support Tribal needs orwhere clarification or improvement would be helpful?\n\n\n\n\nListening Sessions\n\n\n\nThe DFMC will host two 1.5-hour listening sessions to hear directly from Tribal leaders andrepresentatives before beginning updates to the design guidance. Please see below fordetails and advance registration links. \n\n\n\n\nJuly 14\, 2026 11:00 am MDT: Register\n\n\n\nJuly 16\, 2026 1:00 pm MDT: Register\n\n\n\n\nWritten comments may be submitted to consultation@bia.gov by August 21\, 2026. If you have anyquestions\, please contact consultation@bia.gov or Adam Drozek\, Branch Chief\, Public Safety &Justice Construction by email at adam.drozek@bia.gov. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to your input and appreciate your partnership in strengthening correctional facilitydesign for Tribal communities.

SUMMARY:Child Abuse: From Suspicion to Disclosure
DESCRIPTION:Learn the best approach with children who are alleged victims of child abuse in the initial phases of a case\, after a concern has been identified. Develop the basic skills and techniques necessary to engage a child in such a way as to minimize suggestibility but still provide support\, beyond what is taught in a First Responder Training. Review best practices in identification of a concern and learn to engage these children in a way that maximizes positive case outcomes and minimizes potential behaviors that can hurt cases.
