2016 - 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Davis:
On June 21, 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted an Inspection of
the EI Cajon Police Department's temporary holding facility as it relates to the Minimum Standards for
Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations, (CCR) and the
Federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) standards for holding minors.
The inspection was preceded by a desk audit of applicable policies and procedures governing the
operation of the facility " wherein policy content was reconciled against relevant regulations to ensure
that each subject required by regulation was addressed in policy. The on-site inspection began with a
review of documentation to verify that practices follow written procedures and regulation, and concluded
with a walk-through of the physical plant.
We want to thank Officer John Pears ley for his assistance in answering questions, clarifying procedural
issues, and escorting us through the facility. Several operational and physical plant issues were
discussed.
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.
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 the reports from the

the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities for issues of.non
compliance. We do not "approve" your policies nor do we review them for constitutional or legal issues. We
recommend agencies seek policy review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed
appropriate.
, Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel
to the jail area.

County Health Officer and the San Diego County Fire Authority for a comprehensive perspective of your
facility.
Fire Inspection:
The fire inspection is overdue. Please schedule and forward the results upon completion.
Health Inspections:
The local health authority conducted the annual inspections on February 15, 2018. No non-compliance
issues were noted.
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.
BSCC Inspection
Physical Plant:
Completed in 2009, as a Type I facility, the facility continues to operate as a temporary holding facility
and will be evaluated as such. The facility was built under the 2005 standards that were in effect at the
time of the original construction. The facility consists of 8 holding cells that can house up to 1 prisoner
past 12 hours and 2 holding cells that can house up to 2 prisoners past 12 hours. The facility is
constructed in a horseshoe format with two distinct entries; one for adult prisoners and the other for
juvenile offenders. Prisoners are rarely held in a holding cell. For the most part prisoners are typically
handcuffed to a bench between 15 -30 min before being cited out or transferred to the county jail. Secure
youth are held in cells 9 and or 10. Non-secure youth are placed on a beach in the detention area. The
youth entry door into the facility's will remain open. The youth can exit the facility into the vehicle sally
port and exit out the pedestrian door, which leads the street as prescribed by statute and regulation.
These cells are separated from the adult cells. No non-compliance issues were identified.
Policies, Procedures and Practice:
We informed your staff that there is a recently updated version of Title 15 minimum standards and that
the facility should go through the new standards and update the facility's policy and procedures manual.
We evaluated the department's procedures and reconciled them against policy. Those evaluations
included a review of documentation related to jail operations including daily inspection sheets, shift
schedules, local inspection results, classification documents, incident reports and other records which
gave insight to the facility's operations. There were two Title 15 non- compliance issues:
1024 Temporary Holding Facility Training: Requires all personnel who are responsible for supervising
inmates to complete the eight hours of specialized training outlined in this regulation within six (6) months
of assignment. In addition, eight hours of refresher training is to be completed every two years. It was
reported that newly assigned personnel have not completed the required eight hours training nor have
current personnel have completed the refresher course.
1027 Number of Personnel: In part requires whenever one or more female inmates are in custody,
there is at least one female employee immediately available and accessible. In the rare occasion that
there is a female prisoner brought into the facility, there is no immediately female personnel available
as required by the regulations nor is there a trained female personnel available as required by 4021
PC.

Juvenile Inspection:
We reviewed policy, procedures, practice and supporting documentation related to the requirements of
Title 15 Article 9 - Minors in Custody in a Law Enforcement Facility and WIC Section 207.1( d). Youth
are held in the detention area separate and away from adult's inmates. BSCC is the designated
compliance monitoring agency for the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), and is
authorized by Welfare and Institutions Code §209(f) to inspect facilities that may detain minors in secure
detention. There were two violations noted. One youth were held p'ast 6 hours and one youth was
removed from secure detention and placed in non-secure without a release time making it impossible to
determine the duration of secure detention.
Corrective Active Plan
If the department elects to correct the above non-compliance issues, please forward a corrective
response by December 14, 2018.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2016-2018 inspection cycle. We would like to thank all staff
involved in the inspection process for the hospitality and courtesy they extended during the inspection.
