2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF REDWOOD CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT,
TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Mullholland,
On January 18, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Redwood City Police Department’s
Temporary Holding 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 pursuit 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 Title 15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards for the facility;
the Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design of the facility; the
Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing
the capacity of the facility. Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance
status and evidence used to determine compliance.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all
inspections that would also include documentation of corrections made following the
inspection. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future
inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually
by the County Health Department 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
Department and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your
facilities. Local inspection reports are forwarded to your Department under a separate
cover. Each of the local inspections were current.

Originally, there were three secure interview rooms in the secure portion of the facility. In 2006, the three interview rooms
were converted to conventional interview rooms. Furniture was added and the Folger-Adams locks removed. The secure
portion of the facility was reduced in size by securing the door between the booking area and the interview rooms.
Additionally, there are non-secure (unlocked) interview rooms in the administrative area of the building.
Notes: During the 2010-2012 inspection, one of the three secure interview rooms (H) is now used for recording equipment.
While the Folger-Adams locks remain removed from the two interview rooms (F and G), the rooms may be individually
secured with standard deadbolt locks. The secure perimeter was returned to the original configuration to include the
interview rooms and the small sallyport leading to the administrative portion of the building.
