2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF HUNTINGTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I
FACILITY, 6031 PC AND 209 WIC
Dear Chief Harvey:
On August 24, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2020-
2022 biennial inspection of the Huntington Beach 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.
Each of the local inspections were current.
