2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION 6031 PC and 209 WIC/JJDPA SECTION 6031
Dear Chief Valentine:
As you are aware, The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is statutory required to
inspect all Local detention facility’s biennial 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 as it relates 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 no items of noncompliance.

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 and nonsecure youth are not held in the jail. They are detained in interview room on the 2nd
floor of the police department.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
No areas of noncompliance were noted, and no corrective action is needed.
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 remain 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,
