Dear Chief Turegano:
2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF CITY OF HURON POLICE DEPARTMENT
TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
On November 26, 2019, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Facilities
Standards and Operations staff conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Huron
Police Department’s 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; 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 except the
Medical and Mental Health inspections were current in the Temporary Holding Facility.
Once you receive your final Medical and Mental Health inspection please forward to the
BSCC for addition to your file.

BSCC Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Huron Police Department Policy Manual, a
site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews
with administration, facility staff, no inmates were present.
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 items
of noncompliance at the Huron Police Department Temporary Holding Facility.
Title 15, Section 1024, Temporary Holding Facility Training
This regulation states that Custodial personnel who supervise inmates in, and
supervisors of, a Court Holding or Temporary Holding facility shall complete 8
hours of specialized training. Such training shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) applicable minimum jail standards;
(b) jail operations liability;
(c) inmate segregation;
(d) emergency procedures and planning, fire and life safety; and,
(e) suicide prevention.
Information provided indicated that the agency was behind in initial employee training
due to staffing changes. Eight hours of refresher training, for current employees, is also
not completed on a biennial basis.
Title 15, Section 1027, Number of Personnel:
This regulation states whenever one or more female inmates are in custody,
there shall be at least one female employee who shall be immediately available
and accessible to such females.
There is one shift that does not have a female employee assigned. When a female is
arrested, and no female employee is on duty, staff must call in a female jailer. Until the
female jailer arrives, the agency is non-compliant with this regulation.
Title 15, Section 1029, Policy and Procedures Manual:
The following policies were not available in the Policy and Procedures Manual:
Subsection (a)(6)(D) Key Control
1 BSCC does not review all your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your 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.

Subsection (a)(7) Emergency procedures
(A)Fire suppression preplan as required by section 1032 of these
regulations.
(B)Escape, disturbances, and the taking of hostages
(C) Periodic testing of emergency equipment
Subsection (e)(1) Multiple internal ways for inmates to privately report sexual
abuse and sexual harassment
Subsection (e)(2) A method for uninvolved inmates, family, community members,
and other interested third-parties to report sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
Title 15 Section 1030 Suicide Prevention Program
Subsection (h) Multi-disciplinary administrative review of suicides and
attempted suicides as defined by the facility administrator.
The regulation requires a review of all suicides and attempted suicides. The current
Prisoner Death policy (900.11) only requires a review of suicides.
Title 15 Section 1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning
Subsection (a) a fire suppression pre-plan developed with the local fire
department to be included as part of the policy and procedures manual
(Title 15, California Code of Regulations Section 1029);
Policy 900.13 Assigned Administrator is responsible for this pre-plan; however, no
supplemental procedures were provided.
Subsection (b) Regular fire prevention inspections by facility staff monthly
with two-year retention of the inspection record;
Policy 900.13 Assigned Administrator is responsible for fire and life safety; however, no
supplemental procedures were provided.
Subsection (d) An evacuation plan
Policy 900.13 Assigned Administrator is responsible for evacuation plans; however, no
supplemental procedures were provided.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
The Huron Police Department Temporary Holding Facility construction was completed in
2018. One area of concern is the reference of cell 2 as a sobering cell. In its current
form, it does not contain the materials required by Title 24 (Section 1231.2.4 Sobering
Cell); cell 2 meets the criteria established in Title 24 as a holding cell (Section 1231.2.2
Temporary holding cell or room).
