2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION 6031 PC and 209 WIC/JJDPA SECTION 6031
Dear Chief Price:
As you are aware, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is statutorily required to biennially
inspect all local detention facilities for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities
as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations, per Penal Code Section 6031 and for Welfare
and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter-in-place orders, BSCC
staff were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on-site inspections from March 16 through June
30, 2020, the end of the 2018/2020 biennial inspection cycle. BSCC staff conducted virtual inspections via
desk audit of all facilities originally scheduled for inspection during this time. Desk audits are comprised of
a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and procedures and documentation your agency provided.
BSCC staff intend to conduct comprehensive on-site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as
travel restrictions are lifted.
The BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of this transmittal letter and the Procedures
Checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections.
Local Inspection
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 these reports for a
comprehensive perspective of your facility.
There were no noncompliance issues related to the fire inspection or the county health 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. We found one item of noncompliance:
1029 Policy and Procedure Manual: Facility is required to develop a policy to address sexual assault and
harassment.

Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Inspection
BSCC was unable to physically review the physical plants during this inspection cycle. However, we were
informed that there were no new or remodel project concerning the jail facility. We will review the physical
plant during the 2020-2022 inspection cycle.
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 held in the jail. They are detained in a locked interview room outside the 2nd floor of the police
department.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
If you choose to address the noncompliance issues noted above, please provide a corrective action
plan so that BSCC may update our files to indicate compliance.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. We are hopeful that we can return
to our normal inspection processes during the 2020-2022 inspection cycle. Although we were unable to
provide your department with the services you are accustomed to, I want to assure you that BSCC remains
committed to be a resource to your agency regarding your custodial questions or concerns. If you have any
questions, or concerns, please contact our office at any time.
Sincerely,
