RE: 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS
CODE 209, MARIN COUNTY CENTRAL MARIN POLICE AUTHORITY TEMPORARY
HOLDING FACILITY
Dear Chief Norton:
The 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Central Marin Police Authority has been completed. A
pre-inspection briefing was held on November 18, 2021, and the facility was inspected on
January 12, 2022.
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. In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring
pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation requirements of juveniles from
incarcerated adults.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed
and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining
applicable minimum standards for detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining
applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE),
summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the Central Marin
Police Authority Temporary Holding Facility.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine
compliance.
MANDATORY LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the
County Health Officer and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized representative
(Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1).
Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections are listed below. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for

mitigating circumstances if applicable.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed the Central Marin Police Authority and found no violations of the JJDPA. Please
refer to the Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
On January 12, 2022, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff. During that brief, BSCC staff
provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best
practices. Due to no noncompliance issues, your agency is not required to provide a Corrective
Action Plan.
1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not
“approve” policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review
through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.
