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. 0200 Alameda Newark TH LTR 20-22 Chief Anderson Newark Police Department Page 2 Inspection Date Fire and Life Safety November 10, 2020 Medical and Mental Health March 11, 2020 Environmental Health March 11, 2020 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.

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. 0200 Alameda Newark TH LTR 20-22 Chief Anderson Newark Police Department Page 3 This concludes our inspection report for the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle of the Newark Police Department’s Temporary Holding Facility.
