BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Last week, Chief Terry, addressed the Bakersfield City Council of his department's lack of involvement in the recent three-day 'Return to Sender' immigration sweep in Kern County. According to Chief Terry, his department was made aware of the operation a week before the border patrols arrival to Kern County and was not involved in the 78 undocumented residents' arrests. ‘Know Your Rights’ forums continue after Border Patrol’s ‘Return to Sender’ operation ends With the fear of immigration sweeps among the undocumented community, Chief Terry reminds residents of Kern County to continue calling the BPD for emergencies. "...regardless of your immigration status if you are in need of police services, if you are the victim of a crime. Call us. You are not going to be asked about your status, you are not going to be reported or referred to border patrol," Chief Terry stated. BPD has launched a new survey tool, which would help the department better understand the community's concerns, attitudes, and trust with local police officers.
