FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Brea Police Department 3600 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, Board of State and Community
Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and
Institutions Code Section 209(f) and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency

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
We identified the following item of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Title 15 Section, Section 1029 Policy and Procedures subsections (a)(10), (11),
and (12), and subsection (e): The facility lacks procedural reference for “zero
sexual abuse and harassment” and a policy for reporting sexual abuse and
harassment.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
