2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF FULLERTON POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I
FACILITY, 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Dunn:
On August 18, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Fullerton Police Department Type I 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 facilities. Local inspection reports are
forwarded to your Department under a separate cover. The facility was informed by the county
health department that they will resume inspection of the Fullerton facility once the pandemic is
over.

Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
We found no items of noncompliance and no corrective action is required
Technical Assistance
There are no male custody officers available when male prisoners are held. BSCC informed
custody staff of the requirements of Penal Code Section 4021(b), which states: “It shall be
unlawful for any officer, station officer, jailer, or custodial personnel to search the person of any
prisoner of the opposite sex, or to enter into the room or cell occupied by any prisoner of the
opposite sex, except in the company of an employee of the same sex as the prisoner.”
Please advise BSCC staff on the direction the facility will go when processing male prisoners.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA; No minors were held
beyond the 6-hour limit for secure detention during this inspection cycle.
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.
