2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF CULVER CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I JAIL
FACILITY, 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Cid:
On August 17, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Culver City Police Department’s Type I Jail Facility.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine compliance
with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24,
California Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring
pursuit to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title
15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards for the facility; the Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design of the facility; the Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the facility.
Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine
compliance.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections
that would also include documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file
should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the
County Health Department and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized
representative (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1).
Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Department
and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. Local
inspection reports are forwarded to your Department under a separate cover. Each of the local
inspections were current.

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR. The following standards were noted as non-
compliant:
§ 1020. Corrections Officer Core Course: All custodial personnel of a Type I, II, III, or IV facility
shall successfully complete the “Corrections Officer Core Course” as described in Section 179
of Title 15, CCR, within one year from the date of assignment. BSCC was advised that there
are no full-time core trained female custody staff. When a female is in custody, a female
dispatcher will assume the responsibilities of caring for the female inmate(s).
§ 1021. Jail Supervisory Training: Prior to assuming supervisory duties, jail supervisors shall
complete the core training requirements pursuant to Section 1020, Corrections Officer Core
Course. BSCC staff was informed that a Sergeant was recently assigned as the jail supervisor
and had not attended the required corrections officer core course.
§ 1027 Number of Personnel: There are 1 or 2 jailers, on duty each day except for Sundays
between 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm and 2:00 am – 5:00 am. For this lapse in coverage, the Watch
Commander, Officer on Duty, or a Sergeant provides jail coverage. None of these staff are Jail
trained. Also, when a female is in custody, a female dispatcher, who has not attended core
training, will assume the responsibilities of caring for the female inmate(s).
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
Please review the compliance issues above and forward a “Corrective Action Plan” by October
