Dear Sheriff Corpus:
A Targeted Inspection of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office has been completed. A

were inspected on November 6, 2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Maguire Correctional Facility 4910 II
Maple Street Correctional Facility 4925 II
SM Transitional Facility (empty) 4927 IV
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 at
the Maguire Correctional Facility and the Maple Street Correctional Facility (the San
Mateo Transitional Facility was not utilized during this inspection cycle).
Title 15 § Section 1027.5 Safety Checks:

Community Corrections (BSCC) staff found agency policy did not state that the
following would be documented: subsection (e) (2) the location of individual checks
and (e) (3) initials or employee identification of staff who completed the safety
check.
BSCC staff provided technical assistance regarding the above-mentioned policy
sections prior to conducting the physical onsite inspection. Agency supervision

During the policy review portion of the Targeted Inspection, BSCC staff found
agency policy lacked the following: subsection (b) (4) continued retention shall be
reviewed a minimum of every hour, (b) (5) continuous direct visual observation, (b)
(7) a medical assessment within four hours, (b) (8) continuous direct visual
observation at least twice every 30 minutes, (b) (9) if an incarcerated person

BSCC staff provided technical assistance regarding the above-mentioned policy
sections prior to conducting the physical onsite inspection. Agency supervision
updated these policies prior to the completion of the Targeted Inspection Report
by BSCC staff.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for more detailed information.
Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for
information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Tuesday, December 31, 2024; BSCC staff
presented an inspection overview and discussed technical assistance and best practice
recommendations.
An Initial Inspection Report outlining the identified areas of noncompliance was provided
to your staff. Noncompliance identified in the Initial Inspection Report was corrected prior
to the conclusion of the inspection report; therefore, a CAP is not required.
