2016-2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE
AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Swanger:
On April 18, 2018, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016-
2018 biennial inspection of the Concord Police Department temporary holding facility pursuant to Penal Code
Section 6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The jail was inspected for compliance with
the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of
Regulations and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requirements for holding
minors.
The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the operation of the facility,
staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures, and a walk-
through of the physical plant.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of:
• This transmittal letter;
• The Procedures Checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections;
• The Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and,
• The Living Area Space Evaluation that summarizes the detention facility’s physical plant configuration.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections. This file should
be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to a 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 § 101045
and 13146.1). Please consider our report in conjunction with these reports for a comprehensive perspective of your
facility.
FIRE INSPECTION:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District conducted the fire and life safety inspection on January

BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT:
The Concord Police Department city jail was constructed as a Type I facility under the 1997 Title 24 standards,1
but it operates as a temporary holding facility. On the day of the inspection, there were two inmates in the facility.
The facility has separate holding areas for adults and juveniles. The adult area consists of ten holding cells. Seven
cells have beds and there is one sobering cell and one safety cell. The juvenile area consists of five holding cells.
Three holding cells (J1, J2 and J3) are “dry cells” and two cells (JC1 and JC2) are furnished with a toilet, washbasin
and fountain. The facility was very clean, and we did not observe or note any issues of noncompliance.
POLICY REVIEW:
BSCC reviewed the relevant sections of agency policy to ensure that applicable Title 15 regulations were
addressed2. During our limited review, we found no issues of non-compliance.
PROCEDURES REVIEW:
BSCC continued its inspection by reviewing procedures and practices at the facility to evaluate compliance with
applicable regulations. This included reviewing temporary holding facility training requirements; number of
personnel and hourly safety checks; local inspections, inmate screening and classification. During our review of
supporting documentation, we did not identify any issues of noncompliance. Please refer to the Procedures
Checklist for additional details.
1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel.
2 BSCC does not review all your policies and procedures. We only review those policies related specifically to the
applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities for issues of non-
compliance. We do not “approve” your policies nor do we review them for Constitutional or legal issues. We
recommend agencies seek policy review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed
appropriate.

JUVENILE INSPECTION:
Pursuant to WIC§ 209, we reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation to
comply with Title 15 Article 9, Minors in Custody in a Law Enforcement Facility. Juveniles are held in secure
detention in holding cells J1, J2, J3, JC1 and JC2 in the temporary holding facility. The arresting officer maintains
side by side supervision of the juvenile from the vehicle sally port until they are placed in a holding cell. During
the past twelve months, one minor was held in secure detention and seventy-six minors were held in nonsecure
detention. We did not note any violation of regulation or state law. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist under
Detention of Minors for further details.
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT COMPLIANCE MONITORING: In
accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors law enforcement facilities for compliance with three core requirements
of the Act: Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults, and
Removal from Adult Jails and Lockups (6-hour secure detention limitation). After our review, we determined there
was no violation of federal law.

Area
Note: Adult holding cells have one or two bunks; the above ratings reflect using the bottom bunk for bench seating (18
inches per inmate). Regulations require that a bunk be provided for inmates who are held longer than 12 hours (Title 24,
Section 470A.2.27). When these cells are used for 12-hour holding, the cell capacity is one inmate. Although some cells
currently have two bunks, the second bunk is so high that, as a practical matter, it is not safely accessible. When the top
bunk is lowered (currently planned), the rating could be two inmates. There is one shower in the holding area.
