CDSS Community Care Licensing

I went here for a livescan.
What I love:
–lots of parking
–updated equipment. They made no errors on my livescan, which is rare for my prints!
–you can pay with a credit card. I’m tired of facilities that only accept check or money order.
Room for improvement:
–The livescan here is up to $ 10 more than livescans done at other places.
–The people who work here are nice, but do not go out of their way to be friendly. I felt sorry for a guy who was not that good with English, who was trying to ask questions. They were not especially helpful to him, and did not seem equipped to handle the large Chinese speaking community in the area. I don’t speak Chinese, so I couldn’t help, either.

A Spectacular Training Site in Southern California
SITREP
When the State Budget allows us to hire new investigators, there is a large complement of new hires (about half) that end up being located in Southern California. In a region that includes Riverside, Orange County, San Diego and Culver City, it is usually Monterey Park that is equidistant and becomes center of gravity for any of our Academy trainings.
THE SETUP
This site actually has three (3) separate training rooms at this office complex:
(1) The large 2^nd Floor conference room;
(2) The medium 3^rd Floor Board room; and,
(3) The medium 5^th Floor Board room.
The 2^nd Floor can take a max of up to 40 trainees which we had in our training last year here. The 3^rd Floor Board Room is where we find ourselves for this current 5-​week training cycle which we started just this week.
OTHER AMENITIES
This office building boasts a full service café — The Corporate Center Café — and it has all the good stuff, including the free ice that I need for my afternoon refreshment stops.
In addition, the nearby fountains, restrooms, break room, smoking areas, etc., are all available when trainees engage in breaks or just leg-​stretches to get the kinks out of their behinds.
FREE PARKING
Yes, free! This is one of the few state offices within the framework of the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) that actually has two major parking lots in back and off to the right available for us.
THE LOWDOWN
I make no bones that this office-​site remains my favorite Southern California location at which to conduct training academies.
