On October 10, 2019, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) provided
pre-inspection briefings to the Los Angeles County Compliance Unit outlining the proposes,
process and necessary documentation needed for the biennial inspection. Staff gave the
Compliance Unit a complete preview of the visit and provided a schedule of the inspections that
took place in January through March 2020. BSCC staff provided applicable checklists and
answered any questions.
BSCC conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the following Los Angeles County North
Patrol Stations’, Type I, Jails:

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). Please consider our report in
conjunction with the reports from the County Health Officer and the respective fire authorities for
a comprehensive perspective of your facilities.
We encourage 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.
Health Inspections
We have a current health inspection reports for all the above listed facilities. The local health
inspector found the following:
Lost Hills Station non-compliant with Title 15, Section 1211 (Sick Call), Section 1240
(Frequency of Meal Servings), and Section 1267 (Hair Care Services).
Palmdale Station non-compliant with Title 15, Section 1207 (Medical Receiving
Screening), Section 1211 (Sick Call), and Section 1243 (Food Services Plan).
Santa Clarita Station non-compliant Title 15, Section 1030 (Suicide Prevention
Program), Section 1056 (Use of Sobering Cell), Section 1240 (Frequency of Meal

Sanitation, Safety, and Maintenance).
West Hollywood Station non-compliant Title 15, Section 1240 (Frequency of Meal
Serving) and Section 1280 (Facility Sanitation, Safety, and Maintenance.
The Corrective Action Plans, developed by staff at the facility, described how the non-

issues have been addressed when they perform their next inspection in 2020.
Fire and Life Safety Inspections, CCR 15, 1032(c):
BSCC Staff was able to review current fire and life safety inspection for all the above facilities.
BSCC Inspection
Title 15 Inspection
Prior to the inspection of each of the listed facilities, we reviewed the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department Station Jail Manual, applicable sections of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department
Custody Division Manual, and station specific policies. Our audit consisted of a review of only
those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title
1670 1750 1800 1860 1871 LASD North Patrol I LTR 18-20

15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.1 Although there were no issues of
noncompliance identified in our review of the policy and procedures manuals, our review of
pertinent documentation in each of the above facilities found the following noncompliance
issues:
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1027, Number of Personnel:
A sufficient number of personnel shall be employed in each local detention facility to
ensure the implementation and operation of the programs and activities required by these
regulations.
In the Santa Clarita Station Jail, BSCC Staff reviewed personnel assignment rosters and
safety checks for four random months in 2019. There are only 2 Custody Assistants (CA)
available to work, out of 5 assigned. There are 48 beds in this facility and an average
daily population of over 20 inmates. It appears there is not sufficient staffing for
operations in this facility. There are times when there is only one CA/Deputy on duty in
the lock-up facility. Many of the safety checks reviewed exceed to agency’s time
requirements and many were not random.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1027.5, Safety Checks:
Safety checks shall be conducted at least hourly through direct visual observation of all
inmates. There shall be no more than a 60-minute lapse between safety checks.
In the Lost Hills and Santa Clarita Station Jails, due to continual problems with the
automated scanners used by the agency, many of the checks could not be verified.
Written logs that were maintained did not meet the agency’s time requirements for checks
or were not completed at random intervals.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1029, Policy and Procedures Manual:
Section (a)(6) Each facility administrator shall, at least annually, review, evaluate, and
make a record of security measures. The review and evaluation shall include internal
and external security measures of the facility including security measures specific to
prevention of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
None of the above listed facilities have documentation of completing the annual security
review.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1056, Use of Sobering Cell:
In no case shall an inmate remain in sobering cell over six hours without an evaluation by
a medical staff person or an evaluation by custody staff, pursuant to written medical
procedures in accordance with section 1213 of these regulations, to determine whether
1 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your policies and procedures,
nor do we review them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal
advisor, risk manager and other persons deemed appropriate.

the prisoner has an urgent medical problem. Additionally, intermittent direct visual
observation of inmates held in the sobering cell shall be conducted no less than every
half hour. Such observation shall be documented.
In the Palmdale and Santa Clarita Station Jails, BSCC Staff reviewed random sobering
cell checks sheets. In multiple cases, when inmates were held in the sobering cell for
over six hours there was not a reevaluation completed and/or documented. Additionally,
in the Santa Clarita Station, BSCC staff found checks were not all documented or were
not random.
Please refer to each facility's Type I Facilities Procedures checklist for detailed information.
Title 24 Inspection
There were no issues of Title 24 non-compliance identified in the above listed facilities.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
There were no issues of JJDPA non-compliance identified in the above listed facilities.
Technical Assistance
At the conclusion of each inspection, BSCC staff offered an out brief of findings to facility
management. This included an immediate review of the inspection and any noncompliance
issues. It also included potential courses of action in correcting those noncompliance issues.
Finally, the out brief provided managers with a technical assistance in identifying hazards that
may exist in the facility.
LASD Staff all seemed to have some level of problems with the automated cell check scanners
and software. Facilities seemed to have problems with the Wi-Fi connections, problems with the
handheld scanners, or lacked knowledge of retrieving data from the software system. BSCC
staff recommends reviewing the scanners’ use.
In the Lancaster Station, BSCC Staff identified issues with WIC 207.1(d)(1)(F) Logs and
207.1(d)(2) Non-Secure Custody. In May 2019, here were two minors held in secure
confinement outside the adult lockup without a reason provided. Additionally, June 2019, a
minor was held over six hours, without a reason documented. BSCC Staff offered training
materials to avoid recurrence of these issues.
In the Santa Clarita Station, BSCC Staff found that 8 non-secure minors were held in past six
hours in the station that contains an adult lockup. This is an issue with WIC 207.1(d)(2). BSCC
Staff offered training materials to avoid recurrence.
The Lost Hills and Santa Clarita Station Jails had ligature points identified during our walk
through. Additionally, Lost Hills Station Jail had cracking and broken on the epoxy floor.
