NIJ seeks proposals to conduct comparative evaluations of safety equipment modalities; that is, policies and practices among correctional agencies regarding what safety equipment staff may use, when and how staff may use it, and how those modalities affect officers’ physical safety. For the purpose of this solicitation, safety equipment is defined as equipment used by correctional officers to de-escalate and stop violent and disruptive activities by inmates and to protect officers from assaults.
