Dear Sheriff Dicus:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s
Department has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on March 15, 2024,
and the following facilities were inspected between April 22, 2024, and April 24, 2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
San Bernardino Barstow 4240 IJ
San Bernardino Big Bear 4260 IJ
San Bernardino Colorado River

San Bernardino Morongo Basin 4320 IJ
Victorville Courthouse 4340 CH
S. B. Dependency Court 4343 CH
San Bernardino co-Foothill 4355 CH
San Bernardino Justice Center 4357 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, 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
Prevention Act (JJDPA).
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 for all
Type I and Court Holding facilities:

Page 2
§ 1029 Policy and Procedures Manual:
The department was found noncompliant with the requirement that requires the
policy and procedures manual to be comprehensively reviewed and updated at
least every two years.
The department operates on several types of policies and procedures; Department
Manual, Detention and Corrections, Type I, Court Holding Manual, and Operations
Manuals. Several portions of these policies need to be updated. After the
document review, the department noted the sections where updates are needed.
Some updates were made prior to this report and directives were sent out to all
personnel to ensure accountability for updated procedures. The department is
working towards centralizing policy and procedure to avoid misunderstandings.
It is also noted that the department’s last review of the Court Holding manual was
in 04/2022, and the Type I manual in 12/2022.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
There were no items of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards. Refer to the
Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) attachment for detailed information related to Title 24
compliance and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) for rated/non-rated capacities.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
We found no violations of the JJDPA as your facilities do not hold minors for detention.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Thursday, May 2, 2024; BSCC staff presented
an overview of the inspection and discussed technical assistance and best practice
recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed and provided an Initial Inspection Report for
noncompliance items found during the inspection.
A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is pending. The BSCC is aware you have begun
addressing your noncompliance issue by reviewing your policy and procedures manuals,
updating relevant sections, and providing directives for your personnel. The item of
noncompliance above will require a follow-up inspection to verify compliance and/or the
steps your agency has taken to correct the issues within 60 days of your CAP due date.
We will respond to the CAP under a separate cover letter once received.

Due to the operation at Type I facilities, the

classification types:
Females
General Population
Restricted population [Protective Custody
(PC), High Security (HS), Seriously Mentally

incarcerated persons (PIM), incarcerated
persons with medical disabilities, etc.]
At Type I facilities, the classification process
primarily consists of assessing information
provided on the arrest report/booking
application and the receiving screening form.
As a result of the information obtained from
the inmate at the time of booking, combined
with available information from other sources,
booking safety staff will assign inmates to
housing locations within the Type I facility
based on their needs. Inmates transferred to
Type I facilities from a Type II facility shall be
housed according to their most recent
classification assignment.

application and the receiving screening form.
As a result of the information obtained from
the inmate at the time of booking, combined

housing locations within the Type I facility
