We encourage continuing the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies
of all inspections. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all
future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to a 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). Please consider
our report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Officer and County of
Los Angeles Fire Department for a comprehensive perspective of your facility.
There were no areas of noncompliance noted in the current local inspections.
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. We found no items of
noncompliance.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information on each jail facility.
Title 24, CCR PHYSICAL PLANT
BSCC reviews physical plants against the Title 24 standards at the time of original design
or significant remodel. Based on the applicable standards of each jail, there were no
issues of noncompliance noted. The jail was extremely clean and well-kept. We found
no items of noncompliance
JUVENILE INSPECTION
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). Secure minors are not held in the detention
facility nor in the administration.
We reviewed policy, procedures, practice and supporting documentation related to the
requirements of Title 15 Article 9 – Minors in Custody in a Law Enforcement Facility and
WIC Section 207.1(d). We noted no areas of noncompliance with this mandate.
