POLICY
It is the policy of the Kern County Sheriff’s Office to support the Kern County Office of
Airport’s Emergency Plan. The Kern County Airport Emergency Plan has divided airport
responses into three categories: Alert One-Minor aircraft difficulty, Alert Two-Major aircraft
difficulty, and Alert Three-aircraft crash.
The primary responsibility of the Kern County Sheriff’s Office, during an in-flight emergency or
after the crash of an aircraft on Kern County airport property, is to provide scene security.
Personnel from the Kern County Sheriff's Office will utilize the Standardized Emergency
Management System to effectively and successfully manage the incident and will interact with
the on-scene incident commande
