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 facilities.
We encourage 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.
Health Inspections
We have a current health inspection report completed in 2021 for all the above listed facilities.
The County of San Diego Health Department did not identify any items of noncompliance. If
there are items identified, it will be the agency’s responsibility to prepare a Corrective Action
Plans, developed by staff at the facility, described how the non-compliance issues will be
remedied. The County Health Inspector will verify that the above issues have been addressed
when they perform their next inspection.
Fire and Life Safety Inspections, CCR 15, 1032(c):
BSCC Staff was able to review current fire and life safety inspection for all the above facilities.
BSCC Inspection
Title 15 Inspection
Prior to the inspection of each of the listed facilities, we reviewed the San Diego Sheriff's
Department Station Manual, applicable sections of the San Diego Sheriff's Department Custody
Division Manual, and station specific policies. Our audit consisted of a review of only those
policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15,
Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.1 Although there were no issues of non-
compliance identified in our review of the policy and procedures manuals, our review of pertinent
documentation in each of the above facilities found the following items of noncompliance.
1027.5 SAFETY CHECKS: Safety checks shall be conducted at least hourly through
direct visual observation of all inmates. There shall be no more than a 60-minute lapse
between safety checks. There is a written plan that includes the documentation of routine
safety checks.
1 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your 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.

At the Fallbrook Station, BSCC Staff reviewed safety checks for 2021. There were several
checks missed or not documented in May 2021. Additionally, there were forms that did
not state times of release.
1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning: Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031.1(b), the
facility administrator shall consult with the local fire department having jurisdiction over the
facility, with the State Fire Marshal, or both, in developing a plan for fire suppression which
shall include, but not be limited to:
(b) regular fire prevention inspections by facility staff on a monthly basis with two-year
retention of the inspection record.
At the Borrego Springs Station, there were no records of these monthly inspections. BSCC
Staff requested and reviewed two years of monthly fire prevention inspections conducted
by the facility staff. Due to the linked operation of this station and COVID related
operations, there were missing checks, this was corrected during the inspection and new
forms posted for completion by facility staff.
1147 SUPERVISION OF MINORS IN SECURE CUSTODY INSIDE A LOCKED
ENCLOSURE: (a) Minors shall receive adequate supervision which, at a minimum,
includes:
(2) safety checks, as defined in Section 1006, of the minor by staff of the law
enforcement facility, at least once every 30 minutes, which shall be documented.
At the Alpine Station in 2021, there were two minors held in secure confinement in a cell.
Although not held past 6 hours, the safety checks were not documented as required.
Title 24 Inspection
There were no issues of Title 24 non-compliance identified in the above listed facilities. The
BSCC staff walked through each of the temporary holding facilities. There were no issues of
noncompliance identified.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
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). BSCC Staff did not find any violations of the JJDPA.
Technical Assistance
At the conclusion of each inspection, BSCC staff offers an out brief with each stations’ leadership
staff. This included an immediate review of the inspection and if there were any non-compliance
issues. It may include potential courses of action in correcting those non-compliance issues.

Corrective Action Plans
The items of noncompliance identified were immediately corrected or I have received a
corrective action plan to ensure the items are addressed. No further action is needed.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2020-2022 inspection cycle. While we would like to
thank all staff for the outstanding professionalism, hospitality and courtesy extended during the
