Agency Reporting Portal


Title 15, Section 1046, Death in Custody, outlines the requirements for data that must be reported to the ICDR division and requires facility administrators to:

  • Submit a copy of the in-custody death report required to be submitted to DOJ, per Government Code Section 12525 to the BSCC within 10 days of the death;
  • Conduct an initial review and complete a written report of the death within 30 days of the death (Initial Death Review Report); and
  • Submit a copy of the Initial Death Review Report to the BSCC within 60 days of the death.

If any of the information provided changes or if new information becomes available regarding the death and is reported to the Attorney General, the agency shall also update BSCC within (ten) 10 days of the date of change or the date the new information becomes available. This aligns with the amendments to Government Code section 12525.

The BSCC has developed resources to assist agencies in understanding the reporting requirements and how to report an in-custody death.

Direct any questions regarding ICDR data reporting requirements and procedures to ICDRReporting@bscc.ca.gov.
