2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF WHITTIER POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I JAIL
FACILITY, 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Barr,
On November 14, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the biennial inspection of your agency 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 and local
health inspections are 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, CCR1. There was no noncompliance noted.
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.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA. The agency does not
detain youth in secure detention. Non-secure youth are held in an interview room which is
outside the jail facility.
12 months of Juvenile detention logs were viewed with no violations of the three core JJDPA
requirements.

This concludes our inspection report for the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle of the Whittier
City Police Department’s Type I Jail Facility. If you should have any questions, please contact
me at (916) 956-5968 or email at michael.bush@bscc.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” policies and procedures, nor do we
review them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor,
risk manager and other persons deemed appropriate.
