Description

Our History

Formed in 1866, the Kern County Sheriff's Office is the oldest law enforcement agency in the county. The Sheriff is the county's chief law enforcement officer.

In addition to providing police services to the unincorporated portions of the county, the Sheriff has the responsibility for the jail system, providing bailiff and prisoner transportation service to the courts, search and rescue, coroner services, and civil process (serving lawsuit papers).

The Sheriff's Office has 1,202 sworn and civilian employees. There are 567 authorized deputy sheriff positions deployed in patrol, substations, detectives, courts services, and special investigations units. There are 338 detention deputy positions deployed in the detention facilities, and 297 Sheriff's professional support staff assigned throughout Kern County.

The Sheriff, who also serves as the Coroner, is an elected official. All other ranks are county employees and fall under civil service regulations.

I'm going to give 3 stars because county cops are some of the most relaxed on traffic stops and I've never got a ticket in all 15 times I've been pulled by deputies. That being said, I was riding my motorcycle and a KCSO unit was beside me on Union. We were coming up to a light with a queue of cars. He got ahead of me and positioned his unit to stop me from lane filtering to the front. I went between some other cars and just went around. I don't know why that was necessary but it peeved me a little bit. I have to deal with a holes without badges all day, the least yall can do is leave me alone. I have enough on my plate.
Thank you officer's for starting to clean up the shopping center at Fairfax and Niles. Foodmax. The homeless have gotten really aggressive. Really appreciate y'all for your service. God Bless. Once again I have seen how respectful and considerate you officers are. Abandoned mail truck by my house, y'all responded quickly. Glad I live in county jurisdiction.. Thanks to the young deputy that responded. I was concerned.
Holguin, Ramos, and Jackson are some good guys. You bear a lot to keep us all safe. Take care, bros.
Yall really giving KCSO a hard time when they got like 500 people to cover 8,000 square miles. Yeah you might have to wait a moment if you need a deputy and you're in Wasco and the closest available officer is in Taft.
This car played games passing then slow,indicating turn out but just to lure you into wreck. My Family feared for their lives. Passing in those locations there will surely be more deaths of FAMILY n. Friends. OUR COMMUNITY UNITES
Sheriff P. Tampico illegally impounded my car as it was not used in a crime. He kept my ID and Driver's License and money. The Department is refusing to give my property violating my constitutional rights as I am an African American in Oildale. Legal Civil action must be taken. This Department is illegally engaging in human rights violations
I cannot say enough about the law enforcement behavior at Lightening in a Bottle. I've been going to events for over 15 years and you guys were by far some of the most respectable, generally kind, and completely non-intrusive group I've come across. I wanted to be sure to let you know how much I appreciate you guys doing your jobs in a super empathetic way. Please thank your officers there for an extremely job well done over the enjoyable weekend!
Got my car stole 2 mornings ago called 911 for help no one came instead I myself had to keep calling them was told I had to wait for my turn for a call back and when the sheriff's office finally called back they did a report over the phone.... Didn't even come to my house...... My cars probably long gone.... Car seats, husband's work tools, my Bible. I see sheriff's all over my neighborhood all the time and when I need them " there no where to be found "disappointed"
Overall , no bad complaints about KCSO. My husband nd i had a good phone communication while he was recently booked here, the commute from L.A. for visiting wasn't that far or difficult to locate , nd the fact that court hearings are so close makes everything better! Phone charges are a little high pero oh well, totally worth it!
In all kern county same thing with cops. They're driving and texting as many people do it. They are a shame. At night we can see a lot lot of utility landscaping trailers without stop or running lights or no lights at all easy to cause accidents and where are the protectors? It's that hard for them to do there job?
