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.

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.
