DETENTION FACILITY
Dear Chief Lorenz:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Ontario City Police Department (OPD)
has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, June 26, 2024,
and the following facility was inspected between Wednesday, August 14, 2024 (on site)
and Monday, November 25, 2024 (completion of documentation review):
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Ontario Police Department 4374 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 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 initially identified four regulations with items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum
Standards. By the time of this report, these items have been remedied and are now in
compliance. Those items which were initially found to be noncompliant are:
1032 – Fire Suppression Preplanning: The department was noncompliant with several
sections of this regulation:
The department did not provide any documentation indicating the facility
administrator consulted with the local fire department, State Fire Marshal, or both,
in developing a plan of fire suppression per 6031.1(b) PC.

The department did not provide a Fire/Life Safety inspection report for review per
subsection (c): fire prevention inspection as required by Health and Safety Code
Section 13146.1(a) and (b) which requires inspections at least once every two
years.
The Senior Fire Safety Specialist contacted BSCC staff after receiving the Corrective
Action Plan and confirmed that the department completed the aforementioned items.
1046 – Death in Custody: The department’s Policy Manual did not reflect the following
subsections of the regulation:
(a) the facility administrator shall submit a copy of the in-custody death report filed
pursuant to section 12525 to the BSCC within 10 days of an in-custody death.
(c) the facility administrator shall submit a copy of the initial review report of every
in-custody death to the BSCC within 60 days of the death that comports with the
disclosure requirements of section 832.10 PC.
Nor did the department’s Policy Manual reflect the specific requirements that an
initial review report shall contain.
BSCC staff were contacted immediately after the inspection and were informed there was
a proposed update to the department’s Policy Manual. The proposal is in the process of
being reviewed and approved by OPD Command. BSCC staff reviewed the proposal and
concluded that the update replicates the regulation.
1058.5 – Restraints and Pregnant Inmates: The department’s Policy Manual did not
reflect subsection (4) of this regulation:
Upon confirmation of a pregnancy, the person shall be advised, orally or in writing,
of the standards and policies governing incarcerated pregnant people.
BSCC staff were contacted immediately after the inspection and were informed there was
a proposed update to the department’s Policy Manual. The proposal is in the process of
being reviewed and approved by OPD Command. BSCC staff reviewed the proposal and
concluded that the update replicates the regulation.
1143 – Care of Minors in Temporary Custody: The department’s Policy Manual did not
reflect the following subsections of this regulation:
(a4) access to language services
(a5) access to disabilities services
(a6) sanitary napkins, panty liners, and tampons as requested.

section, and it shall be posted in at least one conspicuous place to which minors
have access.

a proposed update to the department’s Policy Manual. The proposal is in the process of

concluded that the update replicates the regulation.
