Due to COVID-19 and the statewide travel ban, the jail was inspected virtually via a desk audit for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requirements for holding minors. The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the operation of the facility, and a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures. 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. The Physical Plant Checklist and Living Area Space Evaluation from your last onsite inspection are being attached for your reference and will be updated during your next onsite inspection. 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. 5890 Tulare Porterville PD II LTR 18-20 June 19, 2020 Eric Kroutil, Chief of Police 2 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 these reports for a comprehensive perspective of your facility. FIRE INSPECTION: By regulation, a fire inspection is required every two years. The most recent fire inspection occurred 10/12/19 and is current. HEALTH INSPECTIONS: Health Department inspections for the facility occurred as follows: Environmental Medical /Mental Facility Nutritional Health Health Porterville City Jail 11/12/19 N/A N/A Facility BSCC INSPECTION PHYSICAL PLANT: The Porterville Police Department holding facility was opened in 1989 and is evaluated under the 1986 Title 24 standards.1 The facility consists of four holding cells and a secure booking area. Confirmation that there have been no changes will be verified during your next onsite inspection. Minors in secure detention are held in a holding cell, separated from any adult arrestees. Minors in non-secure detention are held in the report writing room. POLICY REVIEW: BSCC reviewed the relevant sections of agency policy against regulation to ensure that each subject required by regulation was addressed in policy. 1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel. 5890 Tulare Porterville PD II LTR 18-20 June 19, 2020 Eric Kroutil, Chief of Police 3 The published policy is reviewed annually and reprinted when needed. The most recent policy revision occurred in June of 2020. Regarding policy, no issues of non-compliance were noted. PROCEDURES REVIEW: BSCC continued its inspection by evaluating procedures at the facility and reconciling them against regulation. Those evaluations typically include an in-depth review of documentation related to jail operations including security logs, shift schedules, local inspection results, classification documents, incident reports and other records which give insight to the facility’s operations. BSCC verified via a documentation review during a desk audit that policies and practices are consistent with regulations. Arrestees are supervised by arresting officers, supervised by a patrol sergeant. Arrestees remain in the facility only long enough for processing before being released or transferred. Female arrestees are only booked when a female staff person is immediately available to the arrestee. Special needs inmates who require enhanced surveillance and care include inebriated, self-destructive or violent inmates. Suicidal or mentally disordered arrestees and those requiring restraint are not booked at this facility. Inebriated inmates who are so impaired as to require a protected environment are also denied admittance and booked directly into the county jail. There were no areas of noncompliance noted in the agency policy and procedures. JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT COMPLIANCE MONITORING 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). All logs were reviewed and found complete and comprehensive. CORRECTIVE ACTION No areas of non-compliance were noted, and no corrective action required. ____________________ 5890 Tulare Porterville PD II LTR 18-20 June 19, 2020 Eric Kroutil, Chief of Police 4 This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle.
