Dear Chief Raman,
On February 25, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the San Pablo 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

Notes: Each cell has a 7.3' concrete bunk which was counted as bench-space (18" per inmate) to establish a holding cell capacity of 4
prisoners per cell. Regulations require a bunk for inmates who are held longer than 12 hours. When the bunk is used for that purpose, the
capacity for each cell is one inmate.
There is a shower in the booking area. Additionally, there is one interview room (7.5' X 8'), adjacent to the watch commander's office that
is used for non-secure detention of minors.
*T = Toilets; U = Urinals; W = Wash Basins; F = Fountains; S = Showers in unit; If "Total RC" appears in brackets ( ), it is not part of
the facility's rated capacity. "+" indicates that capacity includes prorated air space from adjacent areas.
