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 Damon Pearce was present during the inspection and assisted by answering questions and clarifying procedural issues. His 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. 1086 Bear Valley Springs THF Letter Tim Melanson, Chief of Police Bear Valley 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 May 29, 2018. There were noted corrections from the inspection, however, 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 17, 2018 Health-Medical/Mental Health April 3, 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: The Bear Valley Jail was opened in 2001 and is evaluated under the 1994 Title 24 standards. The facility consists of two holding cells and a secure booking area. Based on the applicable standards, there were no issues of non-compliance noted. The jail was clean and well-kept. Minors in secure detention are held in a holding cell, sight and sound separate from adult arrestees. Minors in non-secure detention are held in the briefing area. Policies, Procedures, and Practices: During the inspection, BSCC staff reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation where necessary. 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 operations1. 1BSCC does not review all your policies and procedures. We only review those policies related specifically to the 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. 1086 Bear Valley Springs Letter Tim Melanson, Chief of Police Bear Valley Police Department Page 3 We noted inmates are supervised by arresting officers or other agency staff. You only have 3 officers, yourself as the sergeant and the Chief, all of whom work significant overtime to provide service to your community. You have two vacancies, hopefully filled by the time you receive this report. BSCC sought out evidence to ensure practices matched regulations. We reviewed all 36 bookings for the inspection cycle and noted consistent compliance with safety checks, screenings and housing requirements. Safety checks were timely and random. Intake and booking records revealed compliance and safety checks for each were within regulation. In most cases, the inmate remained in the facility only long enough for processing before being released or transferred. Female inmates are only booked when a female staff person is immediately available. Suicidal or mentally disordered inmates and those requiring restraint are not booked at this facility. Inmates requiring direct supervision, such as intoxicated inmates or those having medical issues, are not accepted. 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 your Secure and Non-Secure logs and found no youth has placed in secure or non-secure detention since 2013. Regarding the JJDPA, no area of non-compliance was noted. CORRECTIVE ACTION: No areas of non-compliance were noted and no corrective action is required. 1086 Bear Valley Springs Letter TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITIES Board of State and Community Corrections PROCEDURES1 BSCC Code: 1086 FACILITY NAME: Bear Valley Police Department Temporary Holding Facility FACILITY TYPE: THJ PERSON(S) INTERVIEWED: Tim Melanson, Chief; Damon Pearce, Sergeant FIELD REPRESENTATIVE: Elizabeth Gong DATE: May 31, 2018 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE - COMMENTS 1024 COURT HOLDING AND TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY TRAINING All personnel who are responsible for supervising inmates, X 900.1.1 Supervision of Prisoners and supervisors with custodial responsibilities, complete the The agency reports all officers are trained eight hours of specialized training outlined in this regulation with annual updates as required. within six (6) months of assignment.
