Dear Chief Swanger,
On February 27, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Concord Police Department Temporary Holding Facility.
A pre-inspection briefing was held on January 23, 2020.
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. Refer to the Title 15
Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine compliance.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS

County Health Officer and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized representative

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.
