POLICY
Occasionally the Kern County Sheriff’s Office receives requests from members of the public for
Sheriffs uniform patches for their personal collections. The Sheriff’s Office recognizes that, for
the most part, these are honest collectors of law enforcement memorabilia and usually supporters
of law enforcement in general. Thus, the Sheriff’s Office views providing a patch to such
requestors as a healthy public relations tool and, when possible, will try to accommodate such
requests.
PROCEDURE A: Receiving Requests
Any member of the Sheriff’s Office who receives a request for a Kern County Sheriff’s Office
uniform patch, regardless of what particular uniform it is for, should send the request to the
commander of the Support Services Division.
