AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Sockman:
On June 20, 2018, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016 -
2018 biennial inspection of the Galt temporary holding facility pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 and Welfare
and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The facility was inspected for compliance with the Minimum Standards
for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations and the federal
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requirements for holding minors.
The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the operation of the facility,
staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures, and a walk-
through of the physical plant.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of:
• this transmittal letter;
• the Procedures checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections;
• the Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and,
• the Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the detention facility’s physical plant configuration.
We encourage continuing the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections. This
file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
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.
FIRE INSPECTION:
By regulation, a fire inspection is required every two years. The most recent fire inspection occurred on 4/11/18
and is current.
HEALTH INSPECTIONS:
The Environmental Health inspection for the facility occurred 6/7/18 and is current. No areas of non-compliance
were noted.

BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT:
The Galt Police Department holding facility was opened in 2002 and is evaluated under the 1999 Title 24 standards.1
The facility consists of four holding cells, plus a secure interview room. Based on the applicable standards, there
were no issues of non-compliance noted. The facility was clean and serviceable.
Minors in secure detention are held in a holding cell or the secure interview room, separated from any adult
arrestees. Minors in non-secure detention are held in the report writing room or an unlocked interview room.
POLICY REVIEW:
BSCC reviewed the relevant sections of agency policy against regulation to ensure that each subject required by
regulation was addressed in policy.
The published policy is reviewed annually and reprinted when needed. The most recent policy revision occurred
in 2018.
Regarding policy, no issue of non-compliance was noted.
PROCEDURES REVIEW:
BSCC continued its inspection by evaluating procedures at the facility and reconciling them against regulation.
Those evaluations typically include an in-depth review of documentation related to jail operations including security
logs, shift schedules, local inspection results, classification documents, incident reports and other records which
give insight to the facility’s operations. BSCC sought out evidence to ensure that practices matched regulations.
No arrestees were present, and no arrestee interviews were conducted.
Since the last inspection, the agency has committed considerable effort to bring all patrol staff into compliance with
both initial and refresher training. As of this inspection, all applicable staff members are in full compliance with
training standards.
Arrestees are supervised by the individual arresting officers. The average duration of confinement is less than three
hours. The agency certified that a trained staff member is always present when an arrestee is confined.
BSCC reviewed a variety of records to determine the adequacy of staffing and insure that procedures were adequate
to meet the minimum standards. Staff records safety checks for all arrestees on paper logs.
1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel.
