POLICY
The mission of the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) is to preserve the history and
heritage of the Kern County Sheriff’s Office and to share that history with members of the
Sheriff’s Office and the community.
Historical items are obtained by the HPC in a number of different ways. Sources include non-
serviceable items owned by the Kern County Sheriff’s Office and transferred to the HPC. Other
items may be given or loaned to the HPC by members of the public. Others may be items of
evidence previously booked into the Property Room which have been converted to Sheriff’s
Office use and transferred to the HPC.
Regardless of how the items are collected, they must be cataloged, inventoried, tracked and
monitored to ensure they do not become lost or stolen.
