This is for the security including night watch, escorted movement and control services, direct residential supervision and emergency staffing functions on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis.
Pursuant to clause 5 (b) of the court order, I, as the Transitional Administrator, have the responsibility to oversee, supervise, and direct all management, administrative, financial, and contractual, personnel, security, housing, custodial, purchasing, maintenance, technology, health services, mental health services, food and laundry service, recreational, educational, and programmatic functions relating to the operation of the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC).
This extension is necessary because G4S Secure Solutions provide security services to ensure the safety of the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center residents and staff members. The JTDC continue to experience unexpected terminations, resignations, and new eligibility requirements causing fluctuations in the needs for the JTDC staff coverage. The expiration date of the current contract is 11/30/2013.
