minors and staff and meet established standards and
regulations. Documentation included staffing
profiles, attendance sheets, incident
reports and schedules and was
reviewed to determine if the facility
maintains adequate staffing on a
regular basis. Staff work 12-hour
shifts and there is an AM and PM Shift
schedule. As populations are
relatively low, we saw no areas where
there was a lack of staffing in the
facility.
The facility is budgeted for, and at the
time of inspection, there was 1
manager, 4 supervisors and 13-line
staff.
Tehama County Health Services
provides Mental Health and Medical
staff who provide part time services to
the facility. Both medical and mental
health staff are on call 24/7 for
response as needed.
X There are 2 teachers from Tehama
County Office of Education assigned
to the facility, one of which ensures
that Special Education requirements
are met. There are two classroom
assistants in the classroom.
Population is generally less than 20;
however, recently the population has
increased into the 30s because
Tehama County Juvenile Hall is
housing youth from neighboring
counties who do not have a Juvenile
Hall. Staffing is dynamic and is
adjusted within ratio and overall
program according to population.
In the event of unforeseen
circumstances and emergencies,
additional staff will be called to assist
beginning with the Duty JDFC
Supervisor, the Deputy Chief
Probation Officer, Probation Officers,
and Chief Probation Officer. Facility
Supervisors are trained in this
protocol. This has been documented
in Policy and Procedure. Efforts have
also been made to train field officers
to be used in the event they are
needed.
