2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION MANHATTAN BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I
FACILITY, 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Johnson,
On December 13, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the biennial inspection of your agency’s Type I Jail Facility.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine compliance
with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24,
California Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring
pursuit to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title
15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards for the facility; the Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design of the facility; the Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the facility.
Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine
compliance.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections
that would also include documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file
should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the
County Health Department and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized
representative (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1).
Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Department
and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. Local
inspection reports are forwarded to your department under a separate cover. The fire report is
overdue. Please schedule and forward the results when it becomes available. Each health
inspection report is current.

Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR1. There was one noncompliance issue
noted:

every two years, is not current.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
Please submit a current Fire Inspections report when it becomes available.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA. Secure youth are
detained in the jail facility away from sight and sounds of adult inmates; nonsecure youth are
held in the officer’s report writing room.
