2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF PITTSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT, PITTSBURG
POLICE TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY JAIL, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Chief Addington,
On February 25, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Pittsburg 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
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

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Pittsburg Police 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.
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 the following item of
noncompliance.
Title 15, CCR, Section 1024, Court Holding and Temporary Holding Facility Training:
Eight hours of refresher training shall be completed once every two years.
Currently, this training is past the two-year requirement. The training was scheduled in
early 2020, but due to the COVID-19 emergency, the planned training was not held.
Additionally, the temporary holding facility closed for the emergency. Technical
Assistance has been provided to obtain training resources during the emergency, so that
the facility can reopen and be in compliance with the required training.
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.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA; In 2019, no minors
were held beyond the 6-hour limit for secure detention.
Corrective Action Plan
Please advise the BSCC when the area of non-compliance is corrected, so that it may be filed
with these reports.
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.
