2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF SAN LEANDRO POLICE DEPARTMENT, SAN LEANDRO
POLICE TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Chief Tudor,
On November 18, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the San Leandro 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 inspection
reports and documentation of corrections made following 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 San Leandro Police’s Department Policy Manual that
applies 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 was one male inmate in custody at the time of the inspection, no interview was conducted
because of intoxication of the inmate.
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 noncompliance were noted, and no corrective action is required.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA; In 2019-2020, no
minors were held beyond the 6-hour limit for secure detention.
Technical Assistance
BSCC staff identified potential safety and security issues with the cell bunks and breaks in the
epoxy floor covering. Multiple recommendations were provided to assist the agency in making
changes to the current cells to mitigate the risk of suicide, self-harm, and improve staff safety.
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.
