Chief Fleming:
2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF THE CLOVIS POLICE DEPARTMENT
TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
On February 22, 2021, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff
conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Clovis Police Department Temporary
Holding Facility.
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 California Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, the BSCC conducted compliance
monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) and 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; a Living Area Space
Evaluation; and an Initial Inspection Report identifying the area of non-compliance. Refer
to the Title 15 Checklist for compliance status and evidence used to determine
compliance.
Local Inspections
In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are 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 a comprehensive perspective of your facility. All required
inspections have been performed during this BSCC inspection cycle.

BSCC Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Clovis Police Department Jail Manual, a site
visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with
the administrative and facility staff. There were no inmates in the facility at the time of
inspection. The facility was very clean at the time of inspection.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related
specifically to the applicable regulations in Title 15, CCR.1 We found the following issues
of non-compliance during this inspection:
1027.5 Safety Checks – unable to determine if safety checks were conducted
properly. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for more information.
Corrective action was taken immediately; BSCC staff will recheck safety check records
later in this inspection cycle to determine if appropriate changes were made to remedy
this issue.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant since the last BSCC biennial
inspection. We found no areas of noncompliance in the Clovis Police Department
Temporary Holding Facility.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are
not held in secure detention. A review of documentation identified no instances of
violations.
This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the Clovis Police
Department Temporary Holding Facility. We would like to express our gratitude to
Sergeant Kory Westbury for assistance with the inspection process. We look forward to
working with you in the future to provide technical assistance. If you should have any
