Dear Chief Scott:
On May 14th through May 16th of 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the
2016-2018 biennial inspections of the following San Francisco Police Department temporary holding facilities:
Northern Police Station Ingleside Police Station Richmond Police Station
Bayview Police Station Taraval Police Station Mission Police Station
Park Police Station Tenderloin Station South Terminal S.F.O.
Southern Station
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were performed to determine compliance with the
Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations.
In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section
209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation requirements of
juveniles from incarcerated adults.
The inspection consisted of a walk-through of the physical plant, a review of applicable written policies and
procedures governing the operation of the stations, and a review of documentation to verify your practices follow
your written procedures. Officer Ivan Sequeira escorted me during the physical inspections of your stations. We
interviewed facility coordinators, station keepers, and officers in each station. Officer Sequeira provided
documentation to verify compliance with specific Title 15 regulations and answering questions, clarifying
procedural issues. Officer Sequeira is extremely knowledgeable and it was a real pleasure to work such a
professional.
Enclosed with this transmittal letter are the following documents: the procedures checklist outlining applicable
Title 15 regulations for your temporary holding facilities; a physical plant evaluation outlining Title 24
requirements for design for each station and, the living area space evaluation that summarizes the physical plant
configuration for each station.

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 including
documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file should be the first point of reference when
preparing for future inspections.
Fire and Life Safety Inspection
Title 15 Section 1032, Fire Suppression, states fire prevention inspections as required by Health and Safety Code
Section 13146.1(a) and (b) which requires inspections at least once every two years. Your agency’s Fire
Inspection dates are incorporated in the chart below. During the time of our inspection, your stations were
overdue for Fire Life Safety Inspection making you noncompliant with Section 1032. Please contact your local
Fire Authority or the State Fire Marshal to schedule the inspections.

Health Inspections
The local health authority is required to conduct annual inspections of all local detention facilities and includes
evaluation of medical/mental health and the environmental health standards. The nutritional requirements are not
applicable for temporary holding facilities. At the time of our inspection, the current medical/mental health and
the environmental health inspections were overdue. However, the medical/mental health and the environmental
health inspectors were conducting their inspections in conjunction with the BSCC Biennial inspection. As of the
date noted on this letter, the BSCC has not received the current medical/mental health and the environmental
health reports. Please forward the reports to the BSCC upon receipt of the inspections.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of BSCC inspection files
along with the local inspections outlined above. Additionally, you should maintain documentation of how
and when areas of non-compliance/concerns are resolved.

BSCC Inspection (Title 15, CCR; Policy and Procedures)
Prior to the inspection of the stations, we reviewed the San Francisco Police Department Booking and
Detention Manual and the General Order manuals. 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 Our review determined an issue of noncompliance with the manuals and a
suggestion for added language at your next policy review or update.
Title 15 Section 1027, Number of Personnel, states whenever one or more female inmates are in custody,
there is at least one female employee immediately available and accessible referenced by Penal Code 4021.
Even though in your current policy it does not state a female staff member be available and accessible to a
female arrestee, your agency has mitigated the issue by documenting in your Booking and Detentions
Manual DM-12 Section 2 a female arrestee is not to be housed in a station holding cell which is considered a
local detention facility pursuant to Penal Code 6031.4. During our inspection it was observed and confirmed
through staff interviews your policy is being followed by keeping female arrestees separated from the
secured station jail by placing them on a cuffing bench or in an unlocked office located in an administrative
area of your facilities and not in the holding area. It is suggested in your next policy review or update, add
language stating if a female arrestee is placed in a secure holding cell or area, there will be a female staff
member available and accessible to the female arrestee in accordance with Title 15 Section 1027.
The following system wide item of noncompliance was found:
We continued our inspection by evaluating procedures at the stations and reconciling them against
regulation. Those evaluations typically include an in-depth review of documentation related to jail
operations including security logs, safety checks, shift schedules, local inspection results, classification
documents, incident reports and other records which give insight to the facility’s operations. During our
review to ensure practices matched regulations, we noted the following;
Title 15, Section 1029, Policies and Procedures Manual, requires that facility administrator(s) shall
develop and publish a manual of policy and procedures for the facility. The policy and procedures manual
shall address all applicable Title 15 and Title 24 regulations and shall be comprehensively reviewed and
updated at least every two years. During the review process of your policy manuals, your agency was found
to be noncompliant with the Title 15 Section 1029 for being compressively reviewed every two years. The
Booking and Detention and the General Order manuals used by all stations for jail operations and provided to
us for this inspection cycle were dated in 2008. This noncompliance issue was also documented in your last
biennial inspection report.
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.

Facility Specific (Title 15, CCR; Policy and Procedures)
Airport Bureau
At the time of our inspection we affirmed the cells located at this facility are no longer used as stated in the
previous inspection cycle. We reviewed facility logs, inspections and interviewed staff. During the
interview of staff, it was noted the cells are not used as holding cells, but they have used the benches inside
when detaining numerous people to separate them. The cells remain viable for use if the need arises. We
confirmed arrestees are brought to the booking desk to complete arrest paperwork and are immediately
transported to the San Mateo County Jail for processing.
Mission Station
Title 15 Section 1056, Use of Sobering Cells, states safety checks must be completed no later than thirty-
minutes apart. Our review of the sobering cell safety check documentation showed Mission Station was
noncompliant with this section. Numerous documented sobering cell safety checks were more than the
required thirty-minute required by Title 15 and your agency’s own policy.
During our inspection of the holding cell documentation on safety checks at the Mission Station, it was
determined they were in compliance with Title 15 Section 1027 for completing safety checks within the
hourly requirements; however, Mission Station was not in compliance with your department policy of
conducting safety checks every thirty minutes.
Southern Station
Title 15 Section 1145, Decision on Secure Custody, requires that minors under the age of 14 shall be held
in nonsecure detention if they do not pose a serious security risk of harm to self or others. During the
interview of staff at the Southern Facility, it was brought to our attention that nonsecure juveniles were being
kept in the locked (secured) vehicle sally port with no manual exit. The only exits in the sally port is the door
to female booking area, a person door to secure garage and the main vehicle sally port roll up door. All three
exits/entry points can only be opened by the control panel operated by the Station Keeper (Officer). When
opened, the sally port vehicle entry door exits into a secured parking structure. When holding minors in a
secure location, you are considered noncompliant with this section.
After notifying SFPD Facilities Manager, Officer Ivan Sequeira, SFPD immediately assigned a new non-
secure area and will be notifying personnel of the new nonsecure juvenile area to be used.
Tenderloin Station
During our inspection of cell safety checks at Tenderloin Station, it was determined Tenderloin Station was
in compliance with Title 15 Section 1027, Number of Personnel, for completing safety checks with sixty
minutes of your holding cells; however, Tenderloin Station was not in compliance with your department
policy of conducting safety checks every thirty minutes and having a sergeant and lieutenant sign the cell
check log.

Title 24 – Physical Plant Inspection
The station jails were evaluated as Temporary Holding Facilities under applicable physical plant standards2
that were in effect at the time of each facility’s original construction, or when various areas were remodeled
or added to the facility. Each facility was extremely clean and well maintained. The department has a
defined cleaning schedule for all facilities which appears to be working to preserve and lengthen the life of
these facilities.
Facility Specific (Title 24 Inspection)
Taraval Station
Title 24 Part 1, Section 13-102 Subsection 6.B.2(a) states that plumbing shall not be exposed. Sobering cell
had exposed plumbing with a flush handle and therefore has been determined noncompliant with this section.
Ingleside Station
Title 24 Part 1, Section 13-102 Subsection 6.B.2(c) states that supply and return grilles and any other vent
or security cover shall have openings no greater than 3/16 inch. During our inspection of the holding cells it
was discovered the vents installed during an upgrade to the HVAC system exceeded the required 3/16 of an
inch.
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT COMPLIANCE MONITORING:
Pursuant to WIC§ 209, we reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation
to comply with Title 15 Article 9, Minors in Custody in a Law Enforcement Facility. Nonsecure juveniles
are kept in an administrative area away from your local detention facility holding area.
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). All
logs were reviewed for the previous year, and one violation of holding a juvenile over the six-hour limit was
documented at Bayview Station.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN:
If you choose to address the noncompliant issues noted above, please provide your corrective plan to the to
me at BSCC for documentation in your inspection file.
