Our deputies had a blast serving up smiles at Tip-A-Cop night at Texas Roadhouse — all for a great cause! 🍽️ Every tip collected helps support the Special Olympics and the Law Enforcement Torch Run, programs that empower incredible athletes and build lasting community connections.

Events like this highlight what community-oriented policing is all about, working hand in hand with our neighbors to make Kern County stronger and safer. 🤝
