A Message From

Our President

My name is Angela Barton. As President of the Kern County Law Enforcement Foundation, I would like to begin by sharing why being a member of KCLEF is important to our community. KCLEF was established more than 30 years ago and has raised approximately One Million dollars benefiting our local departments and the various programs run by those departments.

I consider it a privilege and honor to be a part of supporting the 29 Law Enforcement Agencies throughout Kern County by assisting them with the resources needed to supply the appropriate tools to do their job; resources are often not available based on existing budgets and are always limited. Since becoming a member, I have had an opportunity to serve on many of the Foundation’s committees and along with the other members we have created many success stories and I am proud to be affiliated with this organization.
