AUTHORITY TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY
Dear Chief Norton,
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Central Marin Police Authority
temporary holding facility has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on
Wednesday, May 22, 2024, and the following facility was inspected on Tuesday, July 9,
2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Central Marin Police Authority 3072 THJ
This inspection was conducted pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 to determine
compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles
15 and 24, California Code of Regulations.
In addition to the inspection(s) 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). The results of
those inspections are considered a part of this report.
INSPECTION RESULTS
BSCC staff identified the following areas of noncompliance with the Title 15 Minimum
Standards:
§1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning:
(b) Monthly fire prevention inspections by facility staff with two-year retention of the
inspection records.
During the on-site inspection, BSCC staff determined noncompliance due to the lack of
monthly facility fire inspection logs. BSCC staff provided Sgt. Mainaris with an example
of a monthly fire inspection log currently in use at a neighboring police department.

We identified no items of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards. For detailed
information refer to the attached Procedures Checklist, Physical Plant Evaluation, and
Living Area Space Evaluation.

an inspection overview and discussed technical assistance and best practice
recommendations. BSCC staff will follow up with your agency in 90 days to review the
efforts made to bring this regulation into compliance.
