2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF POMONA POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I JAIL
FACILITY, 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Ellis:
On October 24, 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. Each of the local
inspections were current.

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR. The following standard was noted as non-
compliance:
1027.5 Safety Checks: Several safety checks were outside the required 60 minutes.
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
After the inspection on 10/24/2022, Jail Supervisor Ibarra forwarded, by way of email, a
corrective action memorandum to BSCC. The memo was sent to all custody staff to remind
them that safety checks are crucial and are required to be conducted prior to the 60-minute lapse
between each safety check.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA. Secure youth can be
held in a locked interview room inside the jail facility. However, no secure youth have been held
in the facility in the past six years. Non-secure minors are held in the officers’ report writing
rooms, which are outside the jail facility.

Type I Jail Facility. If you should have any questions, please contact me at (916) 956-5968 or
