ABOUT US
The California Highway Patrolman’s Club of Kern County was established many decades ago with a community goal for the residents of our county. With well over one hundred members consisting of active and retired law enforcement officers, we support many local charitable organizations and seek to sow seeds of support for those in need. Additionally, in times of hardship, we assist the men and women of the law enforcement community who bravely provide safety and service to the public.
Throughout the year, our members participate in fund raisers to provide the monetary means which, in turn, allow our association to contribute back to the community. We ourselves are a charitable, nonprofit organization under IRS Code 501(c)(4).
