Dear Interim Chief Kalinowski:
2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF THE GALT POLICE DEPARTMENT
TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
On February 22, 2021, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff
conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Galt Police Department 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 California Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, the BSCC conducted compliance
monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) and 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; a Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and, a Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the
facility. Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for compliance status and evidence used to
determine compliance.
Local Inspections
In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are 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. All required
inspections have been performed during this BSCC inspection cycle.

not held in secure detention. A review of documentation identified no instances of
violations.
