For decades, anyone with a scanner could listen as Bakersfield police officers and Kern County deputies responded to calls in real time. Now, a massive countywide radio overhaul could encrypt those transmissions, silencing the airwaves to the public. The question is whether this change will enhance officer safety, or will it put a wall between law enforcement and the community they serve.

After the Native Americans left, some of Kern County’s earliest white pioneers settled on the same hill, unknowingly building their lives atop a much older history.
