2018 - 2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF CATHEDRAL CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, PENAL CODE
SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND
DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Crum:
On June 29, 2020, pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031.1 Welfare and Institutions Code
Section 209, BSCC staff completed the 2018/2020 Biennial inspection of the Cathedral City
Police Department Temporary Holding Facility via a desk audit and telephonic interview with
facility administration. An in-person pre-inspection briefing was held April 2, 2019 and by
conference call, January 17, 2020.
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. In addition,
BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code
Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the
separation requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter in place
orders, BSCC staff are prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on-site inspection
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 (where available). BSCC
staff intend to conduct a comprehensive on-site inspection of all local detention facilities as
soon as travel restrictions are lifted.
The following documentation was reviewed:
• Cathedral City Police Department Policy Manual
• Cathedral City Police Department THF Operations Manual
• Cathedral City Police Department staff training records

LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the 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 the reports from the County Health Officer and the respective fire authorities for
a comprehensive perspective of your facility. Each of the local inspections were current with no
corrective action required.

Title 15, CCR Evaluation
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures that related specifically
to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 At inspection, we found policy areas
that needed to be reviewed and revised to be consistent with regulatory expectations and
procedural areas needing to be updated to be compliant with minimum standards. All areas
requiring update were addressed prior to the writing of this report. Policy and procedures are
now current and consistent with regulatory expectations and operations; there are no
outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 15 regulations. Please refer to the Procedures
Checklist for detailed information.
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.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant (per Administration) since the last BSCC
biennial inspection; however, it was noted that the sobering cell was not being utilized. Technical
assistance and specific direction was provided regarding the process to convert the sobering
cell space to a holding cell. Until that time, the sobering cell will not be used as a regular holding
cell. Upon completion, the facility administrator will contact us for review to ensure compliance
with Title 24. We found no areas of noncompliance. Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist
for detailed information.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. The agency
provided their Juvenile Policy and Procedure for our review and all regulatory requirements are
noted in the policy. Youth are held in both secure and non-secure detention. Training and
technical assistance was provided to facility administration and we will continue to work with
your agency to ensure compliance with the logging and reporting of youth. We found no
violations.
This concludes the 2018-2020 biennial inspection cycle report of the Temporary Holding Facility.
We would like to express our gratitude to Sergeant Ruiz and we look forward to working together
in the future.
