On Monday, October 19, 2026, officers assigned to the Kern County Probation Department’s Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) Unit conducted a home call in the 1700 block of 17th Place, Delano, CA. Officers contacted Shylo Herrera, who is on PRCS. During the search, officers located approximately 142.0 grams of suspected methamphetamine as well as drug paraphernalia, and US currency.

As a result, Herrera was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for sales, and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as a violation of PRCS.

The Kern County Probation Department remains committed to our dual roles of opportunity and accountability.

To kick off the month of October, Bridges Academy staff welcomed students and their families for Back to School Night. Families had the opportunity to connect with staff, explore classrooms, learn more about their students’ academics, explore available resources and participate in a variety of activities. Families also had the exciting opportunity to take home an aloe vera plant and a bottle of student-crafted hot sauce, both grown and prepared by students directly from the Bridges Academy garden. This enjoyable evening demonstrated collaboration, community, and connection.

🌧️ RAINY ROADS. Drive Safe! 🚗

Rain is in the forecast for Kern County, and it’s time to slow down and drive with extra caution!

A few reminders to help keep you and others safe on the road:

🚗 Slow down and leave extra space between vehicles.
💡 Turn on your headlights so others can see you.
🛞 Avoid sudden braking and sharp turns on wet roads.
🌊 Never drive through flooded roadways. Turn around and find another route.
📵 Put your phone away and keep your attention on the road.

Remember, the first rainfall can make roads especially slippery. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination and make safety a priority.

A big thank you to Climb Bakersfield for partnering with our officers and creating an environment that encouraged them to challenge themselves, push beyond their comfort zones, and recognize their strength and potential. This collaboration is about more than working out. It’s about prioritizing officer wellness, supporting physical and mental health, and building resilience. Through partnerships like this, we can strengthen the connection between local businesses and law enforcement while creating opportunities for officers to invest in themselves, support one another, and build a healthier, stronger future. We appreciate CLIMB Studio for their support, encouragement, and commitment to our officers.
