Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office, 70 Newsome St, New Cuyama, CA 93254, US

The Kern County Sheriff's Office in Buttonwillow, CA, operates the North Area Substation, which has been serving the community since the 1930s. Originally starting with a resident deputy working from his home, the substation now provides law enforcement services to Buttonwillow and the surrounding farmland and oilfields. With a history of addressing the needs of the local population, including the influx of migrant workers during the cotton picking season, the substation has played a vital role in maintaining public safety in the area. In 1940, a two-cell jail was built in Buttonwillow to accommodate the growing number of prisoners. Despite its limited capacity, the substation's deputy continued to work diligently, often dealing with up to 20 prisoners over a weekend due to incidents at local events or cotton camps. Today, the North Area Substation remains an essential part of the Kern County Sheriff's Office, ensuring the well-being and security of the Buttonwillow community.Generated from the website
