POLICE JAIL FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION
209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Jenkins,
On October 7, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) completed
the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Healdsburg Police Department’s Jail Facility. The
inspection was initiated back in February 2022, however the onsite had to be rescheduled and
was ultimately completed on the above date.
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 INSPECTION
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

apply to the operations for detention of adults, a site visit to review operations, physical plant
and relevant documentation, and interviews with administration and facility staff.

conducted with inmates or youth. There were no staff present other than the jail manager, no
interviews were conducted with staff other than the jail manager.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
No areas of noncompliance were noted, and no corrective action required.
Technical Assistance
BSCC Staff recommended some policy language updates and operational and documentation
enhancements to avoid any compliance issues in the future. These are noted in the body of the
procedure checklist.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA; In 2020-2022, no
minors were held beyond the 6-hour limit for secure detention. There was only 1 youth held non
securely this cycle. No violations were found.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” 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.

the safety and security of the prisoners in the

agency regarding this issue.
There were no emergencies during the cycle.
When officers are tasked with the supervision of

would be non-compliant.

The facility has multiple trained, female
dispatchers that are scheduled at all times. When

female employee immediately available and
accessible, during those times, the agency would
be non-compliant. We did not find that to be the
case this cycle.

INTERVIEW ROOMS
Prior Note: There are two interview rooms off the main lobby. One had been turned into an office/soft interview room. Both have
unlocked access to the main lobby. Each has a telephone, desk and other furnishings that would preclude leaving a minor unattended in
the rooms. The practice over several years has been to not use this space for juvenile detention, although it is identified in the policies as
being available. Secure juvenile detainees are generally put in cell #4. Cell #6 was converted for use as an identification room.
