2018 - 2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF SOUTH GATE POLICE DEPARTMENT, PENAL CODE
SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE
AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Davis:
On December 17, 2019, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the South Gate Police Department Type I Jail
facility. 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.
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 standard was noted as non-
compliant:

• § 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. The facility continues to not have a jail supervisor. Although Lt.
Amador has completed the Post supervisory and Management training he has not
completed the Corrections Officer Core Course.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
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, 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 youth are not detained in the jail facility nor in the department’s
administrative area.
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). Non-secure youth will be detained in the report writing room, outside the jail
facility. We noted no areas of noncompliance with this mandate.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
Please provide a corrective action plan for the noncompliance issue by June 5, 2020. Once BSCC
has approved your plan, we will delete the compliance issue from your facility.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. We would like to thank
you and your staff for the hospitality and courtesy extended during this inspection. If you have
any questions, or concerns, please contact our office at any time.
Sincerely,
