2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF NEWARK POLICE DEPARTMENT, NEWARK POLICE
TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Chief Anderson,
On November 19, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Newark Police Department Temporary
Holding Facility.
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 (CCR). In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring
pursuit to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title
15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards for the facility; the Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design of the facility; the Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the facility.
Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine
compliance.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections
that would also include documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file
should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the
County Health Department and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized
representative (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). Please consider our
report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Department and the respective fire
authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. Local inspection reports are
forwarded to your Department under a separate cover. Each of the local inspections were
current.

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Newark Police’s Department Policy Manual that apply
to Temporary Holding Operations of Adults, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and
relevant documentation, and interviews with administration and facility staff.
There were no inmates in custody at the time of the inspection, no interviews were conducted
with inmates.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
No areas of non-compliance were noted, and no corrective action required.
Technical Assistance
BSCC Staff was advised that the current police department is being replaced with a new facility.
The new facility will not contain a Temporary Holding Facility and current facility is scheduled for
demolition. Guidance has been provided for having the department removed from the BSCC
biennial inspection requirements.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA; in 2019-2020, no
minors were held beyond the 6-hour limit for secure detention.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” policies and procedures nor do we review
them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk
manager and other persons deemed appropriate.
