Tulare County, Tulare Police Department (2016-2018 inspection cycle)

October 10, 2018 Barry Jones, Interim Chief of Police Tulare Police Department 260 S. M St Tulare, CA 93274 2016 – 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT Dear Chief Jones: On March 27, 2018, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016 - 2018 biennial inspection of the Tulare City Jail pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The jail was inspected 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, staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures, and a walk- through of the physical plant. 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. 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. 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 on 4/23/18 and is current. HEALTH INSPECTIONS: Health Department inspections for the facility occurred as follows: 5925 Tulare THJ Ltr: 10/18/2018 Barry Jones, Interim Chief of Police Page 2 Medical /Mental Environmental Health Nutritional Health Tulare City Jail 9/27/17 9/28/17 N/A Regarding local inspections, no items of non-compliance were noted. Please refer to your local inspection reports for further details. BSCC INSPECTION PHYSICAL PLANT: The Tulare Police Department holding facility was opened in 1995 and is evaluated under the 1994 Title 24 standards.1 The facility consists of three holding cells and a sobering cell and a seating capacity of 17 inmates. Based on the applicable standards, there were no issues of non-compliance noted. 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. The published policy is reviewed annually and reprinted when needed. The most recent policy revision occurred in April 2018. We noted that all policy statements required by regulations were present and 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 sought out evidence to ensure that practices matched regulations. No arrestees were present and no arrestee interviews were conducted. Arrestees are supervised by the arresting officers while in the facility. When necessary, trained dispatchers may also supervise inmates. Staff that supervise arrestees are required to attend eight hours of initial and biennial refresher training to safely evaluate and oversee arrestees in the jail environment. Prior to the submission of this report, all applicable staff was trained as required by regulation. BSCC reviewed a variety of records to determine the adequacy of staffing and insure that procedures were adequate to meet the minimum standards. Intake records indicated that officers were uniformly assessing each inmate’s overall health and risk factors. Special needs inmates are those who require enhanced surveillance and care and include inebriated, self-destructive or violent inmates. The facility has one sobering cell but does not hold inebriated arrestees, preferring to transfer 1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel. 5925Tulare THJ Ltr: 10/18/2018 TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITIES Board of State and Community Corrections PROCEDURES1 BSCC Code: 5925 FACILITY NAME: FACILITY TYPE: Tulare Police Department THJ PERSON(S) INTERVIEWED: Darla Hill, Records Manager; Angel Yoder-Brummer, Records Specialist FIELD REPRESENTATIVE: DATE: Steve Keithley 3/27/18 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE - COMMENTS 1024 COURT HOLDING AND TEMPORARY 900.1.1 Supervision of Prisoners – Policy HOLDING FACILITY TRAINING requires training.
