To prepare staff for the inspection, a pre-inspection briefing was held on August 15, 2019. 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 pursuant 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 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’s physical plant configuration. 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.
