2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF THE FIREBAUGH POLICE DEPARTMENT TEMPORARY
HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Chief Raygoza:
On March 24, 2021, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted the 2020-2022
biennial inspection of the Firebaugh 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 Title 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; 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 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.

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
A concerted effort was made to address all noncompliant items from the previous biennial inspection,
we found no items of noncompliance during this inspection.
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 Firebaugh Police Department Temporary Holding Facility. A new
secure weapons locker was installed on the outside of the Temporary Holding Facility thus improving
the safety of the arresting officers and the inmates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors may be held in
secure detention both inside and outside of the security enclosure, when necessary. A review of
documentation identified no instances of violations.
This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the Firebaugh Police Department
Temporary Holding Facility. We would like to express our gratitude to you for your assistance with the
inspection process. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance.
