2016 - 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209;
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Ormonde:
On May 24, 2018, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2016– 2018 biennial inspection of the Ripon Police Department holding facility pursuant to Penal
Code Section 6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The facility was inspected
for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and
24, California Code of Regulations and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act
(JJDPA) requirements for holding minors.
The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the operation of
the facility, staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written
procedures, and a walk-through of the physical plant.
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.
We encourage continuing 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.
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 these reports
for a comprehensive perspective of your facility.

By regulation, a fire inspection is required every two years. The most recent fire inspection occurred on
September 5, 2017 and a fire clearance was granted.
HEALTH INSPECTIONS:
Health Department inspections for the facility occurred as follows:

All local inspection reports are current, and no areas of non-compliance were noted.
BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT:
The Ripon Police Department’s holding facility was opened in 1990 and is evaluated under the 1988
Title 24 Standards.1 The facility consists of two holding cells with a seating capacity of 5 arrestees.
Based on the applicable standards, there were no issues of non-compliance noted. The facility was clean
and well-kept.
Minors in secure detention are held in a locked juvenile interview room, sight and sound separate from
adult arrestees. Minors in non-secure detention are held in an unlocked juvenile interview room.
POLICY REVIEW:
BSCC reviewed the relevant sections of agency policy against regulations to ensure that each subject
required by regulation was addressed in policy. 2 The agency’s latest published policy manual
(2/19/2018) was used for our review.
The following area on non-compliance was noted:
Title 15 Section 1029 Policy and Procedures: This regulation requires, among other things,
that the policy manual require a periodic review of security measures and contain procedural
instructions to staff for a variety of emergency conditions, including escape and hostage-taking.
Agency policy assigns the responsibility to complete these procedures to the agency lieutenant,
but the actual procedures were not available for review.
To remedy this issue, please forward the procedures required by this regulation to BSCC.
1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel.
2BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We only review those policies related specifically to 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 that agencies
seek policy review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other people deemed appropriate.

PROCEDURES REVIEW:
BSCC continued its inspection by evaluating procedures at the facility and reconciling them against
regulation. Those evaluations typically include an in-depth review of documentation related to jail
operations including security logs, shift schedules, local inspection results, classification documents,
incident reports and other records which give insight to the facility’s operations. BSCC sought out
evidence to ensure that practices matched regulations.
No inmates were confined during our site visit, so no inmate interviews were conducted.
Arrestees are supervised by the arresting officers, who remain in the booking area when arrestees are
present. Title 15 Minimum Standards require eight hours of initial and biennial refresher training for all
staff who supervise arrestees in the facility. The facility manager is also the agency training manager
and certified that all arresting officers are current in initial and refresher training.
BSCC reviewed a variety of records to determine the adequacy of staffing and to ensure that procedures
were adequate to meet the minimum standards. The agency transfers or cites inmates whenever possible
and arrestees are usually held less than an hour. Officers maintain constant supervision of arrestees.
Intake records revealed that officers were uniformly assessing each inmate’s overall health and risk
factors. Safety checks were timely and random. Staff documents all safety checks on paper logs with
supervisory oversight. Female arrestees are only brought to the facility when a female staff member is
available.
Special needs inmates are those who require enhanced surveillance and care and include inebriated, self-
destructive or violent inmates. Suicidal or mentally disordered arrestees and those requiring restraint
are not booked at this facility. Inebriated inmates who are so impaired as to require a protected
environment are also denied booking.
Concerning the jail’s procedures, no area of non-compliance was noted.
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT 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).
All juvenile detention logs for this inspection cycle were reviewed and no violations of the JJDPA were
noted. No minors had been held in secure detention during this inspection cycle.
