Kern County, Tehachapi Police Department (2016-2018 inspection cycle)

October 18, 2018 Ken Kroeger, Chief of Police Tehachapi Police Department 129 East F Street Tehachapi, CA 93561 2016 – 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION TEHACHAPI POLICE DEPARTMENT BSCC# 1123 PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT Dear Chief Kroeger: On May 31, 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted the 2016 – 2018 biennial inspection of the Tehachapi 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 Amelia Thompson 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. 1123 Tehachapi TH Letter Ken Kroeger, Chief of Police Tehachapi 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 April 27, 2018. Fire clearance was granted with deficiencies noted regarding signage and battery replacement in one area. 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 10, 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: Completed in 2014, the Tehachapi City Jail is inspected as a temporary holding facility and evaluated using the 2010 Title 24 regulations. The facility consists of a booking area and three holding rooms, for a rated capacity of 9 inmates. Because the bench in each cell is only 66”, it cannot be used as a sleeping room, therefore, inmates can only be held for 12 hours or less. You have made a modification to policy reflecting this capacity. There is no toilet, sink or drinking fountain in the cells; therefore, the facility is non-compliant with Section 2.2 of Title 24, Holding Room standards, which requires a toilet, sink and drinking fountain. Minors in secure detention are held in an open area and cuffed to a bench. Only one instance occurred this cycle and the youth was transported to Juvenile Hall after one hour and 37 minutes. Minors in non- secure detention are held in the facilities unlocked report writing area, with only 4 this cycle. The jail was clean and appeared well maintained. Please see the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. 1123 Tehachapi TH Letter Ken Kroeger, Chief of Police Tehachapi Police Department Page 3 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 operations2. We noted inmates are supervised by arresting officers and most often, they remain 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. BSCC reviewed documents to ensure practices matched regulations. There were 7 bookings from November 2017 to the date of inspection and all were transported to the sheriff’s department except for two, who were released on citation after booking. 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. All logs reviewed were signed by supervisors. Suicidal or mentally disordered inmates and those requiring restraint, are not booked at this facility. Inmates requiring more intensive supervision, such as intoxicated inmates or those having medical issues are not accepted at this facility and are booked elsewhere. Females are only booked if a trained female staff is on duty. 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 log to date for this cycle and found 4 minors were held in non-secure detention. Non-secure juveniles are kept in an administrative area away from your local detention facility holding area. Only one youth was held in secure detention prior to transport to Juvenile Hall. The logs and accompanying reports were complete and accurate, with no violations of the JJDPA noted. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Title 24, Section 2.2 Holding Cell or Room This section requires plumbing fixtures for inmates in Holding Rooms. If modifications are made, please notify me so I can remove this from your Inspection report. 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. 1123 Tehachapi TH Letter TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITIES Board of State and Community Corrections PROCEDURES1 BSCC Code: 1123 FACILITY NAME: Tehachapi Police Department Temporary Holding Facility FACILITY TYPE: THF PERSON(S) INTERVIEWED: Amelia Thompson, 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 1000.1.1 Supervision of Prisoners; requires all relevant staff to be trained to Title 15 minimum All personnel who are responsible for supervising inmates, X standards. and supervisors with custodial responsibilities, complete the eight hours of specialized training outlined in this Agency has trained staff on each shift, however, regulation within six (6) months of assignment. in the event no trained staff are available, policy Eight hours of refresher training is completed every two requires the officer to defer bookings to CRF.
