DQ DV Lethality & DVLAP

2026-11-03

Overview and Goals : The Colorado Attorney General ’ s Office has received a federal grant to support the statewide implementation of DVLAP and associated trainings . The Lethality Assessment Protocol ( LAP ) is an evidence - based , 11 - question screening tool designed to identify victims of intimate partner violence who are at high risk of homicide . When administered properly , LAP not only identifies high - risk victims but also requires an immediate referral — commonly referred to as a “ warm handoff ”— to a confidential community - based advocate . Colorado ’ s agencies vary widely in size , geography , staffing , and training capacity . As a result , there is a need for a standardized , high - quality curriculum that establishes a shared understanding of domestic violence lethality , explains the purpose and mechanics of LAP , and provides practical guidance for consistent implementation statewide . This project seeks to develop a comprehensive , asynchronous virtual training curriculum that supports both statutory compliance and effective implementation of DVLAP . The curriculum will consist of three core courses : ( 1 ) a foundational course for law enforcement personnel on the dynamics and risk factors of domestic violence lethality ; ( 2 ) a technical course for law enforcement personnel detailing when and how to administer LAP with fidelity ; and ( 3 ) a course for domestic violence advocates and community partners modeled off the technical course for law enforcement on LAP . The overarching goal of this project is to establish a standardized , research - informed training infrastructure that promotes consistent , high - fidelity implementation of the Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Protocol across Colorado . Requirements : Offerors must demonstrate experience of at least two ( 2 ) past projects of similar size and complexity in which Offeror developed asynchronous curriculum for adult learners . Offerors must demonstrate experience with at least two ( 2 ) past projects of similar size and complexity in which Offeror collaborated with subject matter experts ( SMEs ) to translate technical or research - based content into engaging , accessible virtual training materials . SCOPE OF WORK / SPECIFICATIONS DEFINITIONS Asynchronous Modules : Training modules designed for on - demand access , allowing users to engage with content at any time and location , pause and resume as needed , and complete training independently without live facilitation . LAP : The Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Protocol , an evidence - based 11 - question screening tool administered by law enforcement officers to identify victims at high risk of intimate partner homicide and facilitate immediate referral to victim advocacy services . SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT CONSULTATION The awarded Offeror shall consult with subject matter experts ( SMEs ) identified or approved by the Department of Law ( DOL ) to ensure Contractor has the understanding required to develop the course content and can integrate SME perspective and video into the final courses . COURSE REQUIREMENTS The awarded Offeror shall develop three ( 3 ) core asynchronous courses : A foundational course for law enforcement addressing domestic violence lethality dynamics , empirically supported risk factors , the role of firearms , escalation indicators , and the rationale for structured lethality assessment ; A technical course for law enforcement detailing when and how to administer DVLAP with fidelity , including scoring , documentation , officer override considerations , and required warm handoff procedures ; and A course for domestic violence advocates and community partners addressing their role in responding to high - danger screens , participating in coordinated DVLAP implementation , and aligning safety planning with lethality risk . This course shall use the technical law enforcement course as a foundation , with audience - specific adaptations . The awarded Offeror will leverage the existing content regarding LAP in the possession of the DOL including but not limited to : the existing training materials used by the DOL for in - person LAP trainings and the existing LAP training materials used by other States or public partners who requires every law enforcement agency utilize LAP . INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN STANDARDS The curriculum shall be designed in accordance with adult learning principles appropriate for professional learners , including realistic case scenarios , knowledge checks , and measurable learning outcomes . The curriculum shall utilize a blended instructional approach that incorporates professionally filmed SME - led video segments combined with high - quality visual design elements , including motion graphics , animation , narration , and data visualization where appropriate .
