The Community Advisory Council (“CAC”) will work collaboratively with the Kern County Sheriff’s Office (“KCSO”) in bridging the gap between the diverse communities of Kern, as envisioned in the Stipulated Judgment. The CAC will provide input into policy and procedure, provide insight into the community’s concerns, educate the community about the KCSO, and work to build a safer community for all people.
The Vision is to strengthen communication, generated mutual trust, and promoting understanding for a more cohesive and safer Kern County.
The Monitors have been brought in to track and assess progress by KCSO and the County in achieve compliance with the Stipulated Judgement on the status of implementation to the Parties (DOJ, KCSO, and the County) and the Court. The Monitors and their team of subject matter experts work with KCSO and the Kern CAC to aid in achieving compliance and to provide technical assistance when requested.
