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.

SUMMARY:Effective Strategies to Interview Older Victims and Document Evidence of Elder Abuse in Indian Country
DESCRIPTION:Elder abuse is a widespread public health issue that often goes unreported due to the involvement of family members\, caregivers\, or other trusted individuals. This webinar will explore effective\, victim-centered approaches to elder abuse investigations that address the unique physical\, cognitive\, emotional\, and social needs of older adults while promoting safety\, accountability\, and healing. Participants will learn about the Elder Abuse Guide for Law Enforcement (EAGLE)\, a U.S. Department of Justice–supported initiative that provides practical strategies for interviewing older victims\, documenting evidence\, and strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration. The session will also highlight culturally responsive resources from the Native American Elder Justice Initiative (NAEJI)\, developed by the International Association for Indigenous Aging\, to support elder justice efforts in Tribal communities. \n\n\n\nThis training is available to all interested parties. There is no charge to attend this training\, and CLE will not be available.

SUMMARY:Protecting Lives\, Strengthening Justice: Essential Victim‑Centered Policing for Tribal Law Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:Violence against Native women remains a significant public safety issue. According to the U.S. Department of the Interior- Indian Affairs Office\, more than 1.5 million American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime. Tribal law enforcement officers report persistent challenges in identifying and responding appropriately to victims\, navigating victim reluctance to come forward\, and accessing adequate victim service resources. To address these challenges\, the National Criminal Justice Training Center in partnership with the Tribal Law and Policy Institute developed the Tribal Law Enforcement Victim Services Academy. \n\n\n\nAboutThe Tribal Law Enforcement Victim Services Academy is a 16-week virtual training designed to equip new and current law enforcement officers working in Tribal communities with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to support victims of crime using a culturally grounded\, trauma-informed\, and victim-centered approach. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain the tools and resources needed to strengthen safety\, uphold Tribal sovereignty\, and enhance justice for victims of domestic violence\, dating violence\, sexual assault\, human trafficking\, and stalking. \n\n\n\nTime commitment for the Academy is up to 2.5 hours per week. To be approved for this Academy\, you must receive approval from your supervisor for this dedicated commitment. Your approving authority information is collected during the registration process for follow-up purposes.

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.
