2018 - 2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF SAN LEANDRO POLICE DEPARTMENT, PENAL CODE
SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND
DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Tudor:
On July 29, 2019, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2018-2020 onsite biennial inspection of the San Leandro Police
Department’s Temporary Holding Facility. A pre-inspection briefing was held on April 3,
2019.
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 pursuant 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; a Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and a Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the
facility. Please refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of facility compliance status
and evidence used to determine compliance.
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). Please consider
our report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Officer and the
respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facility. Each of the
local inspections were current with no corrective action required.

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the San Leandro Police Department’s Temporary
Holding Facility Policy and Procedure Manual and a site visit to review operations, the
physical plant and relevant documentation.
Title 15, CCR Evaluation
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related
specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 At inspection, we
found policy areas that needed to be reviewed and revised to be consistent with regulatory
expectations, procedural areas requiring update, and that Watch Commanders need
training.
Technical assistance was provided, and all areas were addressed prior to the writing of
this report. All policy and procedure areas are now current and consistent with regulatory
expectations, all supervisors have completed the necessary training and there are no
outstanding areas 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 since the last BSCC biennial
inspection. We found no areas of noncompliance. Please refer to the Physical Plant
Checklist for detailed information.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. The agency
provided their Juvenile Policy and Procedure for our review and all regulatory
requirements are noted in the policy. Juveniles are held in non-secure detention only and
the records reviewed reflected this information. We found no violations of the JJDPA.
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.
