August 25, 2021 Joseph Allio, Interim Chief of Police City of Vacaville Police Department 660 Merchant St. Vacaville, CA 95688 Interim Chief Allio: 2020/2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF VACAVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031 On July 21, 2021, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Facilities Standards & Operations conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Vacaville Police Department Temporary Holding Facility. 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. 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 BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures checklist, the Physical Plant Evaluation form, and the Living Area Space Evaluation. Compliance is indicated by policy and/or documentation review. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist and the Physical Plant Evaluation for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. Local Inspections In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are 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). The Fire and Life Safety Inspection is needed. The BSCC advises you to schedule a biennial fire inspection. Once the inspection is complete, forward a copy of the report to the BSCC so that we may update our records. The Medical and Mental Health Inspection has not been conducted for many years; November 2016 was the last documented review the BSCC has on record. In conversation with Sgt. Lechuga, he indicated that he requested the Public Health Department perform inspections; however, they only completed an Environmental Health Inspection. Health and Safety Code 101045 states that all publicly 5620 Solano Vacaville PD THJ 20-22 Joseph Allio, Interim Chief of Police 2 operated detention facilities are required to undergo a health and sanitary conditions review annually. Once the Medical and Mental Health inspection is completed, please forward a copy to the BSCC so that we may update our records. Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the County/City Public Health Officer and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facility.
