The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for contracting Technical Instructor Services to deliver a Writing Narcotic Search Warrants course at the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center (MCTC). The contractor must provide necessary personnel, materials, and equipment to instruct law enforcement officers, focusing on skills vital for writing effective search warrants within criminal investigations. The contract includes a base period of 12 months and four optional periods, with courses conducted across multiple locations.
Course content must cover various essential topics such as types of search warrants, constitutional requirements, and documentation of probable cause, designed to enhance the participants' skills in affidavit writing. Each course iteration is to consist of at least 20 hours of instruction delivered over three days, with a configuration allowing up to 30 participants.
The government will supply specific facilities and audiovisual equipment, while the contractor must furnish all other necessary instructional materials. Quality control measures, including pre- and post-tests for students and evaluations, will be established to maintain instructional standards. This initiative supports national drug control strategies and aims to enhance the skillset of federal, state, and local law enforcement officials engaged in narcotics-related missions.
