A facility-wide search of the San Bernardino County jail over the weekend recovered narcotics, weapons, and other dangerous contraband.
On Saturday (October 21), San Bernardino and Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputies, probation officers, and Veteran’s Affair Police conducted a facility-wide search of the Central Dentention Center in San Bernardino.
During the search, narcotics detection canines successfully alerted the presence of narcotics within several pieces of U.S. mail that had been mailed to inmates housed at the facility. The investigation is ongoing, pending further analysis to determine the type and quantity of narcotics recovered.
Detention staff continues to combat the smuggling of narcotics into our correctional facilities. Using K9 drug detection dogs and advanced investigation techniques, the detention staff has successfully intercepted multiple attempts to bring illegal substances into our county jails and state prisons.
