Purpose

Because police officers are often unable to know everything that is going on in the community, citizen participation in law enforcement and crime prevention is crucial. The Kern Secret Witness Program is designed to provide incentives to community members for becoming involved in crime prevention and resolution.

Citizen's are offered opportunities to make the community a safer place to live by becoming involved in crime prevention. Besides making a positive contribution to the community, individuals can enjoy some monetary reward for their efforts thanks to the Secret Witness Program.
