Dear Chief Raman,
On July 27, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the
2020-2022 biennial inspection of the San Pablo Police Department Temporary Holding Facility.
A pre-inspection briefing was held on May 19, 2021.
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.

In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by

There were no inmates in custody at the time of the inspection, no interviews were conducted

the regulation’s 60-minute requirement.

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.
