RE: 2020/2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE & INSTITUTION CODE 209
OF THE CORCORAN POLICE DEPARTMENT’S TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY
Dear Chief Shortnacy:
The 2020/2022 biennial inspection of the Corcoran Police Department’s Temporary Holding Facility
has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on June 2, 2022 and the facility was inspected
on July 12, 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 0.
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.
