October 16, 2018 Richard Breckenridge, Chief of Police Arvin Police Department 200 Campus Drive Arvin, CA 93203 2016 – 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION ARVIN POLICE DEPARTMENT BSCC# 1080 PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT Dear Chief Breckenridge: On May 30, 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted the 2016 – 2018 biennial inspection of the Arvin City Jail pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The jail was inspected for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requirements for holding minors. The inspection consisted of a walk-through of the physical plant, a review of applicable written policies and procedures governing the operation of the facility, and a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures. Sergeant Patricia Stewart was present during the inspection and assisted by answering questions and clarifying procedural issues. Her involvement in the inspection process was extremely valuable. The professionalism and courtesy extended is appreciated. The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: • This transmittal letter; • The Procedures Checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections; • The Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and, • The Living Area Space Evaluation that summarizes the detention facility configuration. Local Inspections: In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required by the County Health Officer and the State Fire Marshal or local fire inspector (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the Health Department and the fire inspector for a comprehensive perspective of your facility. 1080 Arvin TH Letter Chief Breckenridge Arvin Police Department Page 2 Fire Inspection: Health and Safety Code Section 13146.1 requires a biennial inspection for fire and life safety issues. This was completed on January 20, 2018. Fire clearance was granted with no cited deficiencies. Health Inspections: The local health authority is required to conduct annual inspections of all local detention facilities and includes evaluation of medical/mental health and the environmental health standards. The nutritional requirements are not applicable for temporary holding facilities. The following is the date of the most recent inspections on file with our office is listed below. Inspection Date Health-Environmental April 6, 2018 Health-Medical/Mental Health April 5, 2018 Health-Nutrition Not Required No issues of non-compliance were noted in either of the local health inspection reports. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of BSCC inspection files along with the local inspections outlined above. Additionally, you should maintain documentation of how and when areas of non-compliance/concerns are resolved. BSCC Inspection Physical Plant: Completed in 1966, and remodeled in 1979, the Arvin City Jail is inspected as a temporary holding facility and evaluated using the 1963 and 1974 Title 24 regulations1. In July 2006, you requested to be classified as a Temporary Holding Facility rather that a Type I Jail. The request was granted. The facility consists of four cells, two holding rooms and one sobering cell, for a capacity of 12 inmates. The sobering cell was closed in 2013 and two cells are currently not being used. There were no inmates in custody at the time of the inspection. The jail was clean and appeared well maintained. No issues of non-compliance with applicable physical plant standards were identified. Please see the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. Minors in secure detention are held in a cell, separate sight and sound from any adult inmates. Minors in non-secure detention are held in an interview room or officer briefing area. You had 16 youth held in secure detention this cycle and 17 youth held in non-secure detention. 1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel. 1080 Arvin TH Letter Chief Breckenridge Arvin Police Department Page 3 Policies, Procedures, and Practices: During the inspection, we reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation. Those evaluations included a review of documentation related to jail operations including security logs, shift schedules, local inspection results, incident reports, classification documents and other records which give insight to the facility’s operations2. We noted inmates are supervised by arresting officers or on-site dispatchers. Female inmates are only booked when a female staff person is immediately available, they are otherwise booked into the Kern County Sheriff’s Central Receiving Facility. Documentation reviewed revealed compliance with policy and regulation as it relates to female detainee’s. BSCC sought out evidence to ensure practices matched regulations. We reviewed a sampling of bookings for the inspection cycle and noted consistent compliance with safety checks, screenings and housing requirements. Safety checks were timely and random. Suicidal or mentally disordered inmates are not booked at this facility. Inmates requiring direct visual contact, such as intoxicated inmates or those having medical issues, are not accepted at this facility and are booked into the county jail. We identified no areas of non-compliance with policy or procedures. JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT (JJDPA) COMPLIANCE MONITORING: Pursuant to WIC§ 209, we reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation to comply with Title 15 Article 9, Minors in Custody in a Law Enforcement Facility. In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors law enforcement facilities for compliance with three core requirements of the Act: Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults, and Removal from Adult Jails and Lockups (6-hour secure detention limitation). We reviewed the logs to date for this cycle and found 17 minors were held in non-secure detention and 16 youth in secure detention. The logs and accompanying reports were complete and accurate, with only one noted violation of JJDPA, when a youth was held in secure detention for two hours for a non-criminal offense. Please be mindful of this and audit your logs to ensure your staff is compliant to this standard. Regarding the JJDPA, you had one violation of one youth held in secure detention for a status offense, a violation of Welfare and Institutions Code Section 206. Technical assistance was provided to ensure this would not re-occur.. CORRECTIVE ACTION: No areas of non-compliance were noted and no corrective action is required. 2BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We only review those policies related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities for issues of non-compliance. We do not “approve’ your policies nor do we review them for constitutional or legal issues. 1080 Arvin TH Letter TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITIES Board of State and Community Corrections PROCEDURES1 BSCC Code: 1080 FACILITY NAME: Arvin Police Department – Temporary Holding Facility FACILITY TYPE: THJ PERSON(S) INTERVIEWED: Lt.
