Dear Sheriff Martinez:
A Comprehensive Inspection of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Temporary
Holding Facilities have been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on
Wednesday, September 4, 2024, and the following facilities were inspected between
Tuesday, October 8, 2024 and Tuesday, November 19, 2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Poway Station 4465 THJ
Fallbrook Substation 4468 THJ

Julian Substation 4608 THJ
4S Ranch Sheriff’s Substation 4609 THJ
Major Crimes Division ICP 4620 THJ
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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Title 15, §1027.5 Safety Checks:
(f)A documented process by which safety checks are reviewed at regularlydefined
intervals by a supervisor or facility manager, including methods of mitigating
patterns of inconsistent documentation, or untimely completion of, safety checks.

Page 2
The safety check forms for 4S Ranch and Borrego Facilities do not include
regular supervisor reviews of safety checks. However, both facilities’ staff have
supervisors who are now reviewing the safety check forms and documenting that
review.
Title 15, §1029 Policy and Procedures Manual:
(6) Each facility administrator shall, at least annually, review, evaluate, and make
a record of security measures. The review ad evaluation shall include internal
and external security measures of the facility including security measures specific
to prevention of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
The Major Crimes facility staff was unable to provide a completed facility
administrator’s review. Since the inspection, a review has been completed.
Title 15, §1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning:
(b) monthly fire prevention inspections by facility staff with two-year retention of
the inspection record.
The Poway, Lakeside, 4S Ranch, and Major Crimes facilities’ staff could not
provide monthly fire prevention inspections. All facilities’ staff started conducting
the monthly inspections in September or October 2024.
Title 15, §1050 Classification Plan:
(c) In deciding housing and programming assignments, the agency shall consider
on a case-by-case basis whether a placement would ensure the health and
safety of the incarcerated person and whether the placement would present
management or security problems. A person’s own views with respect to their
own safety shall be given serious consideration.
The 4S Ranch and Borrego facilities were using an outdated intake form that did
not contain questions about a person’s views with respect to their own safety.
Since the inspection, both facilities’ staff have started using a newer form that
includes appropriate questions.
Title 15, §1145 Decision on Secure Custody:
Any minor in temporary custody who is less than 14 years of age, or who does
not in the reasonable belief of the peace officer present a serious security risk of
harm to self or others, shall not be placed in secure custody, may be kept in
non-secure custody in the facility as long as all other conditions of non-secure
custody set forth in these standards are met.
The Major Crimes facility takes all detained minors into an area that is locked.
Not all minors are placed in cells but they are held in a secure adult facility and

cannot exit. Minors held in this facility that were not in the cells were listed as
non-secure, and secure procedures were not documented. Since the inspection,
all minors held in the adult holding facility have been documented as secure
detention.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for
information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.

A debrief with your staff was held on Tuesday, November 19, 2024; BSCC staff presented

recommendations.
