Kern County, Arvin Police Department (2018-2020 inspection cycle)

June 19, 2020 Olan Armstrong, Lieutenant Arvin Police Department 200 Campus Drive Arvin, CA 93203 2018 – 2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION ARVIN POLICE DEPARTMENT BSCC# 1080 PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT Dear Lieutenant Armstrong: On September 3, 2019, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted a Pre- Inspection Briefing in preparation for the 2018 – 2020 biennial inspection of the Arvin Police Department pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. Our scheduled on-site inspection of the Arvin City Jail 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 was delayed. Subsequently, on June 19, 2020, BSCC staff completed the inspection via a desk audit. 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. 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) for the separation requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter‐in‐place orders, BSCC staff were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on‐site inspections from March 16 through June 30, 2020, the end of the 2018/2020 biennial inspection cycle. BSCC staff conducted virtual inspections via desk audit of all facilities originally scheduled for inspection during this time. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and procedures and documentation (where available). BSCC staff intend to conduct comprehensive on‐site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel restrictions are lifted. Our review of documentation consisted of the following: • Fire and Public Health Inspections • Secure and Non-Secure Detention Logs of Youth for 2019 • Booking Logs for July and December 2019 • Classification Documents for July and December 2019 • Health Screening Logs for July and December 2019 1080 Kern Arvin PD TH 18-20 Lt. Armstrong Arvin PD Page 2 • Inmate Screening Logs for July and December 2019 • Safety Checks for July and December 2019 The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures checklist. (We are including the PHY and LASE for your information only; you indicated that there were no changes to the physical plant since the previous inspection). Compliance is indicated by policy and/or documentation review. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. 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 local fire inspector and Health Department for a comprehensive perspective of your facility. Fire Inspection: Health and Safety Code Section 13146.1 requires a biennial inspection for fire and life safety issues. This was completed on February 19, 2019. Fire clearance was granted. 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 18, 2019 Health-Medical/Mental Health April 18, 2019 Health-Nutrition April 18, 2019 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 a temporary holding facility and evaluated using the 1963 and 1974 Title 24 regulations. 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 1080 Kern Arvin PD TH 18-20 Lt. Armstrong Arvin PD Page 3 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. No issues of non-compliance with applicable physical plant standards were identified or altered from the 2016-2018 BSCC Inspection. 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. Your logs indicated you had 23 youth held in secure detention and 9 youth held in non-secure detention in 2019. We provided technical assistance to you regarding officers recording non-secure detention on the secure detention log. You conducted training on this; however, it is noted you have had no bookings to the jail since January 2020 due to administration changes in the department. All arrestees are cited in the field or directly booked into the Kern County Jail or Kern County Juvenile Hall. Policies, Procedures, and Practices: The desk audit consisted of a review applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation where necessary. Those evaluations included a review of documentation related to jail operations including security logs, local inspection results, booking logs, screenings, secure and non- secure logs and classification documents to gain insight to the facility’s operations1. BSCC sought out evidence to ensure practices matched regulations. A memo provided to BSCC indicated all sworn staff are trained in jail operations. We reviewed a sampling of bookings documents and forms, noting consistent compliance with safety checks, screenings and housing requirements. We noted in the documentation that inmates were supervised by arresting officers. We reviewed all 69 bookings for July and December 2019 and found the documentation to be consistent with policy and regulation with safety checks, medical/booking screenings and classification for appropriate housing. Safety checks were timely and random, evidenced by the documented checks illustrating the inmate is only in the facility long enough for processing out on citation or transfer to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO). Female inmates are only booked when a female officer 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 detainees. 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. 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. 1 1BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures, only those related specifically to applicable regulations in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities for issues of non-compliance. We do not “approve’ your policies or review for constitutional or legal issues. 1080 Kern Arvin PD TH 18-20 Lt. Armstrong Arvin PD Page 4 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 your Secure and Non-Secure logs and found 23 youth were recorded to be held in secure detention and 9 were held in non-secure detention in 2019. Your audit of the logs and reports confirmed only 7 youth were held in secure confinement prior to transport to Juvenile Hall. You have provided subsequent training to officers ensuring they complete the correct forms and documentation. We reviewed the reports and documentation for these youth, making note that all safety checks and required information was compliant with regulation. The longest a youth was held in secure detention was 3 hours and 46 minutes. Regarding the JJDPA, no area of non-compliance was noted. This concludes the desk audit and limited review of documentation for this inspection report. If I could be of further assistance to you or the agency, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.
