2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF NEWPORT BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT TYPE I,
6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Lewis
On August 25, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Newport Beach Police Department’s 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; 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.

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.1 We found the following item of
noncompliance:
• 1056 Use of Sobering Cell: Intermittent direct visual observation of inmates held in the
sobering cell shall be conducted no less than every half hour. Several observation logs
revealed that safety checks were conducted outside of the required time limit.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
On September 20, 2021, Jail Supervisor, Tim Stewart, advised and reminded all custody staff
via email that custody policy and Title 15 requires that persons placed in the sobering cell shall
be checked, observed, and documented no less than every 30 minutes.
BSCC staff will review sobering cells placement observation logs in 90 days to determine
compliance with this Section 1056, Sobering Cell placement
Technical Assistance
BSSC staff reminded staff that any prisoners placed in the sobering cell must receive
documented observation every 30 minutes.
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.
