Title 15 Section 1028, Fire and Life Safety Staff (b)(1-7): During the initial policy review portion of this inspection, agency policy did not include subsections (b)(1-7) of this regulation; however, after BSCC staff provided technical assistance, agency supervision added these sections to the Standard Operating Procedures Jail Manual and is now compliant. Title 15 Section 1030, Suicide Prevention Program (a) Annual suicide prevention training for all custodial personnel: The agency could not provide training records showing officers received annual suicide prevention training.
