2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF SALINAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, SALINAS POLICE
TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Chief Fresé,
On February 25, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) provided
pre-inspection briefings to the facility supervisor and staff outlining the reason for, process and
necessary documentation needed for the biennial inspection. Staff gave participants a complete
preview of the visit and provided a schedule of the inspection. BSCC staff provided applicable
checklists and answered any questions.
On April 14, 2021, BSCC staff conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Salinas Police
Department Temporary Holding 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, and 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 facility. Local inspection reports are

Due to the COVID-19 Emergency Measures, Monterey County Health Department has directed
all detention facilities in Monterey County to utilize the BSCC Title 15, Environmental Health and
Medical/Mental Health checklists to conduct self-inspections of their facilities. The date listed
above reflects when the agency submitted the self-conducted inspection to the Monterey County
Health Department.
BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Salinas Police’s Department Policy Manual that
applies to Temporary Holding Operations of Adults, a site visit to review operations, physical
plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with administration and facility staff.
Due to the COVID-19 Emergency measures, the recent opening of the facility, and training
requirements, there have been very few arrestees held in the temporary holding facility for over
one year.
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.1 We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant since opening. We found no items of
noncompliance.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
No areas of non-compliance were noted, and no corrective action required.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” 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.

Technical Assistance
Since this was the first biennial Inspection of the Salinas Police Department’s Temporary Holding
Facility, BSCC Staff worked closely with the holding facility manager and personnel to ensure
procedures were in compliance during this initial inspection. Multiple recommendations were
provided to assist the agency.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA; In 2020, no minors
were held in secure detention.
