Formed in 1866, the Kern County Sheriff's Office is the oldest law enforcement agency in the county. The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the county. In addition to providing police services to the unincorporated portions of the county, the Sheriff has the responsibility for the jail system, providing bailiff and prisoner transportation service to the courts, search and rescue, coroner services, and civil process (serving lawsuit papers).
Usually a city has its own police department, however, several smaller cities, Tehachapi, Maricopa, McFarland and Wasco, contract with the Sheriff's Office to provide police protection within their community. The Sheriff's Office has roughly 1,050 sworn, non-sworn, and civilian employees. The 452 authorized sworn (peace officer) positions are deployed as deputies in the Bakersfield metropolitan patrol, 14 substations, detentions, detectives and other support positions. The Sheriff, who also serves as the Coroner, is an elected official. All other ranks are county employees and fall under civil service regulations.

The Redlands Police Department employs 98 sworn officers and more than 100 civilian personnel and operates under the policy of Risk Focused Policing (RFP). Risk Focused Policing is a data and results-driven, community-oriented policing and problem solving strategy which focuses on those factors in a community that place its youth and their families most at risk for criminal and other problem behaviors. In addition to measuring risk factors and finding ways to control crime before it happens - which is the philosophy of RFP, there are five community policing stations staffed by Community Policing Officers and other police personnel working toward a healthy community. The Redlands Police Department is organized into two large divisions: Field Services and Community Services.
The Field Services Division of the Redlands Police Department comprises four bureaus: Patrol Services Bureau, Crime Intervention Bureau, Investigative Services Bureau, and the University of Redlands, Director of Public Safety. The division consists of 96 sworn personnel, 41 civilian employees and more than 100 citizen volunteer members,
The Redlands Police Department’s Investigative Services Bureau is primarily responsible for investigating serious and complex felony cases such as murder, aggravated assault, sex crimes, crimes against children and the elderly, robbery, burglary, identity theft, auto theft and arson. Additionally, the ISB investigates all death cases, missing persons and runaways. The structure of the ISB includes a lieutenant who is the Bureau Commander and a sergeant who is the Assistant Bureau Commander. Three primary units make up the bureau; the Violent Crimes Unit with two detectives, the Special Victims Unit with two detectives and one investigator and the Property Crimes Unit with two detectives and one investigator.
The Crime Intervention Bureau of the Redlands Police Department (CIB) is responsible for identifying specific crime problems or trends within a geographic area and developing a response or intervention strategy that will have a positive effect on the problem. Through the use of sophisticated crime analysis, members of CIB employ a “problem solving” approach to crime in Redlands. The Crime Intervention Bureau includes the Multiple Enforcement Team, Parole and Corrections Team (PACT), and the Drug Court Officer.
The Community Analysis and Technology Unit of the Redlands Police Department provides support and services in pursuit of the Police Department’s mission, and works in partnership with public and community partners to connect data and technology assets and skills to our decisions, efforts and operations.

The District Attorney's staff numbers more than 400 and includes approximately 150 Assistant District Attorneys. In addition to Assistant District Attorneys, other positions include: Detective Investigator, District Attorney Investigator, Evidence Control Clerk, Victim Advocate, Legal Stenographer/Grand Jury Reporter, Security Guard, and Legal Secretary. The Suffolk County District Attorney's is New York State's busiest prosecutor's office in the State of New York outside of the City of New York. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office is organized into a number of bureaus and units.
The District Court Bureau is primarily responsible for prosecuting both misdemeanor crimes and violations, including Driving While Intoxicated and various quality of life crimes committed in Suffolk County. Specialized teams within the Bureau also prosecute bias crimes, welfare fraud, graffiti cases, sex offenses, gang crimes, prostitution, animal cruelty and scofflaws. In 2005, the District Court Bureau prosecuted over 30,000 cases, or about 600 new cases every week.
The Major Crime Bureau investigates and prosecutes felony cases in Suffolk County, including, but not limited to robberies, burglaries, assaults, sexual assaults including rape, forgery, vehicular felonies and homicide cases, that result in arrests or indictments for manslaughter and/or criminally negligent homicide.
One of the main responsibilities of the bureau is the investigation and supervision of motor vehicle accident cases in Suffolk County that result in the death or physical injury from reckless or criminally negligent conduct. These investigations involve alcohol and drug evidence; accident investigations and reconstruction by expert witnesses; toxicological and forensic analysis; and disposition and/or trial of these cases.
The Economic Crimes Bureau (ECB) is responsible for prosecuting Larcenies, Economic Frauds, Consumer Frauds, Public Integrity, Environmental Crimes, Labor Law Crimes, Insurance Fraud Civil Forfeiture, Computer Crimes and conducting complex litigation efforts. The theme uniting the varied work done by the Economic Crimes Bureau is the motivation of those prosecuted by the Bureau. Whether they engage in traditional schemes to defraud, violate the public trust, despoil the environment or defraud the elderly, the persons prosecuted by the Economic Crimes Bureau are almost all driven by a lust for financial gain at the expense of others
Environmental crimes typically involve the violation for financial gain of statutes designed to protect the natural environment, executed through schemes involving the falsification of regulatory documents and filings. Specifically, the Environmental Crimes Unit prosecutes illegal “on-site” disposal of waste, “off-site” cases commonly referred to as “midnight dumping”, deforestation of Pine Barrens and other publicly owned land and the illegal commercialization of fish & wildlife. The Environmental Crimes Unit investigators are on 24-hour call to respond to environmental crime scenes or other HAZMAT emergencies requiring their expertise.

The voters of each Justice of the Peace and Constable Precinct elect the Constable every four years. It is the Constable’s duty to execute and return all process, warrants, summons, and judgment enforcement documents as directed by lawful officials. The Constable may seize and sell real and personal property upon lawful order of a court, returning the proceeds according to law. Constables are Texas Peace Officers and may arrest, with or without a warrant, violators of state penal laws and persons who commit breaches of the peace in their presence.
Constable’s jurisdiction for service of civil process documents is throughout their county as well as every adjacent county. They may serve documents for State, County, and Justice Courts of Texas, as well as process issued by lawful courts of other states. Commissioner’s Court establishes fees for this service. The fees collected are deposited into the general fund of Tarrant County.
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education recognizes the special role of the Constables’ offices in the civil court system. The Commission requires the Constable and their deputies to have special civil process training in addition to the standard training required for all Texas peace officers.
The Constables and their deputies are officers of the courts. They provide fair and impartial notification to citizens of court actions that may involve them.
