Which role is responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing agency efforts to comply with PREA standards?

• A. The PREA Compliance Managers
• B. The PREA Coordinator
• C. The Policy Review Board
• D. The Training Unit

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is who owns the overall management of an agency’s PREA program. The PREA Compliance Managers are responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing the agency’s efforts to meet PREA standards. They drive the ongoing PREA program across policies, procedures, training, auditing, data collection, and corrective actions, ensuring consistency and accountability throughout the organization. They coordinate with facilities and departments to turn PREA requirements into concrete practices, monitor compliance, and address issues as they arise. The other roles tend to focus on narrower areas—training, policy review, or a single coordinating position—without the broader, agency-wide oversight that the compliance managers provide.
