BIA Not Renewing TPSP

31 Mar 2016

Personnel Security Consultants has been honored to provide technical assistance and training to each and every one of you over that last nine years that we have served as the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Liaison.

We have recently been advised that, despite assuring us otherwise, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has chosen not to renew the contract that supports the Tribal Personnel Security Program (TPSP), effective March 31, 2016. They have taken this action without giving us advance notice.

Ending the liaison program mean that Tribes and Tribal Programs will no longer be able to obtain fingerprinting services through PSC.

We at PSC deeply regret this situation and understand the burden this places on your organization to continue to comply with the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act and Indian Country law enforcement regulations.
We will continue to take your calls, work with you on resolving your issues regarding background investigations and adjudications, and train your new and existing staff. We assure you that we are still here for you.

We still offer technical assistance and training services, and we will be happy to help you coordinate new fingerprinting services. Please note that we also offer the following services to assist you in complying with Federal mandates:
* Non-FBI federal, state, local, and international criminal checks
* Comprehensive investigation services
* Adjudication services
* Training and certifications
* 1st Defense on-line background screening services
