RE: 2020/2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE & INSTITUTION
CODE 209 FOR THE TAFT POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I FACILITY
Dear Chief McMinn:
The 2020/2022 biennial inspection of the Taft Police Department’s Type I Facility has been
completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on March 17, 2022 and the facility was
inspected on April 21, 2022.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were 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.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is
enclosed and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist,
outlining applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant
Evaluation, outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space
Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated
capacity of the Taft Police Department Type I Facility.
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.
MANDATORY LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also 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).
Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections are listed below. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for
historical copies of all inspections including documentation of corrections made following the
inspection.

checklist for detailed information.
--
On April 21, 2022, BSCC staff held an Exit Briefing with your staff. During that briefing, BSCC
staff provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and
best practice recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed your agency’s noncompliance issues
found during the desk audit and onsite inspection. Your agency provided BSCC staff with a
Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing these issues on May 31, 2022; we will respond to
the CAP under a separate cover letter.
This concludes the 2020/2022 biennial inspection report. I am available to assist as needed
and happy to provide technical assistance when requested. I look forward to continuing to
