Dear Sheriff Barnes:

has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, January 28,
2026, and the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday, April 14, 2026 and

FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Lamoreaux Juvenile Justice Center (Adult Holding) 3550 CH

North Justice Center 3770 CH
These inspections were 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 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
On the day of inspection, agency staff advised personnel who supervise incarcerated
people in the detention area of the Harbor Justice Center, Lamoreaux Juvenile Justice
Center, and North Justice Center have not received eight hours of specialized corrections
refresher training within the last two years; therefore, we identified the following item of
noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Title 15 Section 1024, Court Holding and Temporary Holding Facility
Training: A total of eight hours of (specialized corrections) refresher training shall
be completed every two years.
