2018 - 2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF GROVER BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT,
PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209;
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Peters:
On February 27, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Grover Beach Police Department
Temporary Holding Jail facility.
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 209(f) for the federal Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
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 that
summarizes 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 the reports from the County Health Officer and County of San Luis
Obispo Fire Department for a comprehensive perspective of your facility.
There was no area of non-compliance noted in the current local inspection.

Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically
to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR. We found no items of noncompliance
Title 24, CCR PHYSICAL PLANT
BSCC reviews physical plants against the Title 24 standards at the time of original design or
significant remodel. Based on the applicable standards, there were no issues of non-
compliance noted. The jail was extremely clean and well-kept.
JUVENILE INSPECTION
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). One interview room is used when detaining minors at the Grover
Beach Police Department. The room is lockable by design. By policy, the door is to remain
open when a minor is held in non-secure custody. No volition was noted during the
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 in non-secure detention are held in the juvenile holding area outside
the jail facility. No violation was noted during the inspection.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN

This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. We would like to
thank you and your staff for the hospitality and courtesy extended during this inspection. If
you have any questions, or concerns, please contact our office at any time.
