Title: Report on Suicide Prevention Practices within the District of Columbia, Department of Corrections' Central Detention Facility Summary: The following is a summary of the observations, findings, and recommendations of Lindsay M. Hayes, Project Director of the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives, following the provision of short-term technical assistance to the District of Columbia, Department of Corrections' (DOC) Central Detention Facility (CDF). As of August 2013, the CDF has experienced a much higher number (three) of inmate suicides than in previous years. Because of the higher incidence of suicide, the DOC and its health care provider (Unity Health Care) began to examine the deaths, as well as review various policy and procedural directives relating to suicide prevention. In order to independently assess current practices, as well as offer any appropriate recommendations to suicide prevention policies and procedures within the CDF, DOC Director Thomas Faust decided to seek the assistance of an outside consultant. Through the technical and financial assistance of the National Institute of Corrections - Jails Division, this writer's consulting services were offered to, and selected by, Director Faust.

Author: Hoffer, Tia Title: Operational Safety Considerations While Investigating Child Sex Offenders. A Handbook for Law Enforcement Volume 1 Summary: The danger to the law enforcement officer who is initiating a search warrant or arrest of a Child Sex Offender (CSO) is most likely underestimated. CSOs are often perceived to be less dangerous and nonviolent. However, CSOs pose a significant risk to themselves and in turn can potentially be a danger to law enforcement officers. This handbook, based on a review by the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit III- Crimes Against Children of over 100 cases of CSOs who committed suicide, is the first of a two part handbook addressing salient operational and safety factors that might arise between law enforcement and CSOs. A Volume II will provide specific skills and techniques that can be utilized by law enforcement in gathering information about potential risk factors impacting CSO behavior.
