The operation targeted noncompliant registered sex offenders throughout Kern County, according to a Kern County Sheriff's Department news release. Participating were the Sheriff's Department, Bakersfield Police Department, Kern County Probation Department, Kern County District Attorney's office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Results of the operation were not available Thursday night. The operation was funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, the news release said.
The grant will fund the Comprehensive Approaches to Sex Offender Management Program, a Department of Justice program that assists state, local and tribal jurisdictions in improving their adult and juvenile sex offender management practices.
