Based on a review of facility policies, evidence protocols, memoranda of agreement, interviews with facility leadership, medical and mental health staff, community advocacy partners, law enforcement partners, and medical providers, the auditor determined that NNJDC has established appropriate procedures to ensure the preservation of evidence, timely access to forensic medical examinations, qualified victim advocacy services, and coordination with outside investigative agencies in accordance with the requirements of Standard 115.321.   Although no incidents requiring activation of these procedures occurred during the audit period, the facility has developed comprehensive policies, agreements, and community partnerships to ensure an effective response should an allegation of sexual abuse arise.   Accordingly, the auditor finds that NNJDC meets the requirements of Standard 115.321, and no corrective action is required. 115.322 Policies to ensure referrals of allegations for investigations   Auditor Overall Determination: Meets Standard Auditor Discussion Evidence Used to Determine Compliance with Standard 115.322   Documents Reviewed: ·                     NNJDC Pre-Audit Questionnaire  ·                     NNJDC Policy 115.322 – PREA Policies to Ensure Referrals of Allegations  ·                     NNJDC PREA information posted on facility website (www.nnva.gov/ 2271/PREA)  ·                     Observations during Facility Site Review  Interviews Conducted: ·                     PREA Coordinator  ·                     Assistant Director  ·                     Medical and Mental Health Staff
