KCSO Peace Officer Memorial Ceremonies
National Police Week and Peace Officers Memorial Day will be observed the week of May 13 – 19. This is a time we set aside to remember and honor all law enforcement personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. During this period of observance, deputies will be wearing black mourning bands over their badges, and flags at Sheriff’s Office facilities will be flown at half-staff.
The Kern County Sheriff’s Office will hold its annual Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony to pay homage to members of the Sheriff’s Office who have lost their lives while in service for the people of Kern County. The ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 16 at 10:00 am at the Sheriff’s Office Memorial Monument at Sheriff’s Headquarters, 1350 Norris Road in Bakersfield.
The Sheriff’s Office will also host the annual countywide Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony on the same date, Thursday, May 16 at 12:00 pm at the Kern County Peace Officer Memorial at 1415 Truxtun Ave. in Bakersfield.
The public and media are invited to join us at both events as we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the community members of Kern County.
