November 12, 2024 Guillermo Viera Rosa, Chief Probation Officer Los Angeles County Probation Department 9150 E. Imperial Hwy. Downey, CA 90242 2023-2024 TARGETED INSPECTION, WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTIONS 209 & 885, LOS ANGELES COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT DETENTION FACILITIES Dear Chief Viera Rosa: A Targeted Inspection of the Los Angeles County Probation Department’s Dorothy Kirby Center (BSCC #7234) has been completed. This inspection included a review of documentation gathered from Camp Scott (BSCC #7267), which was absorbed into the Dorothy Kirby Center facility during the 2023-2024 inspection cycle. At the time of inspection, Camp Scott was closed; this inspection report covers both facilities. The pre- inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. The inspection was held on July 16-19, July 26 and August 6, 2024. The exit briefing was held on August 6, 2024. This inspection was conducted pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 209 and 885 to determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for Juvenile Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations. INSPECTION RESULTS We identified the following item of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards. Refer to the attached Procedures Checklists for detailed information. Section 1328 Safety Checks: Safety checks were not being documented when youth were in their rooms during shower time. Youths are allowed to leave their room doors cracked or open. The regulation requires safety checks to be completed when youth are in their rooms and is not specific to whether a door is open or closed. If youth are not being checked, it is unknown if they are safe. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP) An Exit Briefing was held with your staff and the inspection results were shared. BSCC staff presented an inspection overview and discussed technical assistance and best practice recommendations. An Initial Inspection Report (IIR) outlining the item of noncompliance was provided to your staff on August 12, 2024. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 209(d), an approved CAP was provided to the BSCC for Guillermo Viera Rosa Chief Probation Officer Page 2 approval on October 11, 2024, with a noted resolution date of October 31, 2024. Failure to correct the item of noncompliance within the approved timeframe following CAP approval will result in the county’s appearance before the BSCC Board for a determination of suitability. * * * Please email me at lisa.southwell@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 838-9132 if you have any questions.

June 10-16, 2024, was also reviewed to ensure adequate staffing was available. Camp Scott staffing is included in the overall staffing numbers for the facility. We did not find through the course of the inspection or any subsequent conversation with any youth that any programs or activities ☒ ☐ ☐ are not occurring due to a lack of staffing. Youth stated when interviewed they routinely participate in all activities, programs, recreational periods, and school. Staff were also interviewed and stated that while staffing could always be improved, they believe they have enough staff to conduct the required programs. Staff all stated that if they had additional staff, they could do more with the youth which they all want to do. It was noted that there was no need for ordered overtime or mandatory holdovers, as the camp staff voluntarily made arrangements internally to fill the vacant shifts; some split shifts, and some took full shifts as needed. They work together to make sure all shifts are covered. 1 This document is intended for use as a tool during the targeted inspection process; this worksheet may not contain each Title 15 regulation that is required.

We also spoke with a few staff who stated that it is practice for single showers to occur for safety purposes and youth either remain in their rooms or if there is enough staff, they may remain in the dayroom pending their turn. ☐ ☒ ☐ When youth are in their rooms awaiting showers, we observed a practice of keeping the youth’s room open or partially open. Safety checks are not being conducted for youth who remain in their rooms while awaiting showers. If staff are not physically checking on each youth in their room, whether the door is open or partially open, they cannot ensure the youth’s safety. The regulation requires that safety checks be conducted at a minimum of every 15 minutes, at random or varied intervals during hours when youth are asleep or when youth are in their rooms, confined in holding cells, or confined to their bed in a dormitory. All safety checks shall be documented with the actual time the check is completed.
