Dear Chief Williams:
On June 14, 2019, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2018-2020
biennial inspection of the Ontario Police Department’s Temporary Holding Facility. A pre-inspection briefing
was held on April 1, 2019.
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 pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section

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 indication of compliance status and evidence used to
determine compliance.
