A pre-inspection briefing was held on Thursday, February 19, 2026, and the following facility was inspected on Monday, April 27, 2026 : 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). These reports were provided for review shortly after the BSCC inspection and indicated no items of noncompliance for the detention area. The results of these inspections are considered a part of this report. INSPECTION RESULTS We identified four items of noncompliance with Title 15 and 24 Minimum Standards: §1027.5 – Safety Checks (d) Safety checks shall occur at random or varied intervals. • In relation to Title 15 §1056, several safety check logs for sobering cell placements were conducted every thirty minutes without variance. §1028 – Fire and Life Safety Staff (b) The facility administrator, in conjunction with the health authority, shall develop and implement policies and procedures consistent with the requirements of Penal Code Section 6048(b) that require correctional officers certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to begin CPR on a nonresponsive person Rudy Lopez Chief of Police Page 2 without obtaining approval from supervisors or medical staff, when it is safe and appropriate to do so. (6) The correctional officer shall continue administering CPR, absent imminent physical danger, until the nonresponsive person shows obvious signs of life, such as normal breathing or physical or verbal responses, or until medical staff or alternative medical responders arrive and take over. (7) In situations where medical staff or alternative medical responders are present when a person is identified as nonresponsive, correctional officers shall defer CPR to those individuals. The current Ontario Police Department policy manual does not cover said sections of the regulation. §1056 – Use of Sobering Cell Intermittent direct visual observation of people held in the sobering cell shall be conducted no less than every half hour. Such observation shall be documented. • In relation to Title 15 §1027.5, several safety check logs for sobering cell placements were conducted every thirty minutes without variance. 13-102 (c)6 – Design Requirements (2) Suicide hazards. Architectural plans shall be reviewed by the Board for the purpose of reducing hazards posed by fixtures and equipment which could be used for an act of suicide by an incarcerated person. The facility design shall avoid any surfaces, edges, fixtures or fittings that can provide an attachment for self-inflicted injury. • Several items in each cell require security caulking as they may pose as ligature points for self-harm: Gaps around security cameras o Gaps at the base of the light fixtures o Gaps in the ventilation grate o Some toilets have stainless steel plates to cover prefabricated areas. o These plates are not flush and have gaps. Some plates are also missing screws. A security cover with holes no bigger than 3/16” should be placed over o the existing fire/smoke detector.
