RE: 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS
CODE 209 TRACY POLICE DEPARTMENT TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY
Dear Chief Millington:
The 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Tracy Police Department’s holding facility has been
completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on May 11, 2021 and the facility was inspected
on July 13, 2021. The following facility was inspected:
City of Tracy Police Department
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine compliance
with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24,
California Code of Regulations. In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring
pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation requirements of juveniles from
incarcerated adults.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed
and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining
applicable minimum standards for adult detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining
applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE),
summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the Tracy Police
Department Temporary Holding Facility.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine
compliance.
MANDATORY LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection 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).
Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections are listed below. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for

SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Tracy Police Department Policy and Procedure

BSCC INSPECTION RESULTS
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance with
Title 15 at the Tracy Police Department. No corrective action is required at this time.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity remains at zero.
There are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed the Tracy Police Department Temporary Holding Facility and found no violations
of the JJDPA. Please refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
On July 13, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff. During that brief, BSCC staff
provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best
practices. Due to no noncompliance issues, your agency is not required to provide a Corrective
Action Plan.

This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection report. I am available to assist as needed and
happy to provide technical assistance when requested. I look forward to continuing to work
together. Please do not hesitate to email me at Kim.Moule@BSCC.CA.GOV or call (916) 322-
8081 if you have any questions.

through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.
