CORRECTIONAL INVESTIGATORS JOB (DACUM)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
COMPARISON of a CORRECTIONAL INVESTIGATORS JOB PROFILE & PREA
The Correctional Security Network (CSN) was engaged by the Moss Group, Inc (MG) under
provisions of the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) Cooperative Agreement # 05S18GJ10 to
develop a Job Profile of Sexual Assault investigator in Adult Correctional facilities operated by state
agencies in the USA. With the assistance of staff from the Facilitation Center at Eastern Kentucky
University and the Missouri Department of Corrections, a three day job analysis and training review
was conducted using a facilitated storyboarding process.
The major components of the three day project included:

1. Development of a job profile for Kentucky Department of Corrections Internal Affairs
   Investigators.
2. A review of the Kentucky Department of Corrections Internal Affairs Investigators job profile
   by a national subject matter expert (SME) team of correctional sexual assault investigators
   familiar with the mandates of Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA).
3. A review of a Moss Group Sexual Assault Investigator Training by a national Subject
   Matter Expert team of correctional sexual assault investigators familiar with the mandates
   of PREA.
4. Identification of tasks of new and veteran investigators that should be addressed in an
   investigator training program. Specific emphasis was placed on PREA related implications
   for each Training group.
   KEY Findings
   Component 1
   Based on a comparison of a 1999 Missouri Department of Corrections job profile of
   correctional investigators with the current (2006) practice of Kentucky Department of
   Corrections (KYDOC) Internal Affairs Investigators there has been limited PREA related
   change in the Commonwealth. KYDOC Internal Affairs Investigators are tasked by their
   supervisors (wardens) with a wide range of responsibilities not directly related to their role
   as investigators.
   Component 2
   A national Subject Matter Expert team of correctional sexual assault investigators familiar
   with the mandates of PREA identified a significant number of policy and practice changes
   that would strengthen the sexual assault investigation process in correctional facilities.
   Component 3
   A national Subject Matter Expert team of correctional sexual assault investigators familiar
   with the mandates of PREA suggested a number of changes in the Moss Group Sexual
   Assault Investigator training.
