KERN COUNTY PROBATION OFFICERS ASSOCIATION

What KERN COUNTY PROBATION OFFICERS ASSOCIATION does

The Kern County Probation Officers Association (KCPOA) is a nonprofit professional association that represents approximately 440+ sworn employees of the Kern County Probation Department in California, including over 190 Juvenile Correctional Officers across all JCO classifications and over 250 Deputy Probation Officers across all DPO classifications. Its functional purpose is collective representation and advocacy for these employee groups: it serves as the formal bargaining and workplace-rights voice for members serving in juvenile institutions (Juvenile Hall, Camp Erwin Owen, Kern Crossroads Facility, Pathways Female Treatment Program), adult and juvenile supervision, investigations, and court services throughout Kern County.

KCPOA does not develop or sell software products. Its operational "technology" surface is limited to a public website (kcpoa.com), an e-newsletter, and a third-party member portal powered by ConnectPlus for login, registration, and member resource access. The association's product is effectively its membership itself — bundled access to representation, professional development support, member communications, and a community/charity engagement program that sponsors P.A.C.K., the KCPD Family Relief Fund, R.O.S.E. Mentoring Program, Youth Connection, and the Baker to Vegas law enforcement relay. It maintains professional affiliations with the California Law Enforcement Association (CLEA) and the State Coalition of Probation Officers (SCOPO).

The association's revenue model is subscription/recurring membership dues collected from its represented sworn-officer membership, supplemented by nominal sponsorship fees from a list of local Bakersfield business supporters (The Police Credit Union, Motor City Lexus of Bakersfield, Mastagni Law Firm, and a handful of local restaurants and retailers). Membership is restricted to current sworn employees of the Kern County Probation Department, making the GTM motion a closed direct-to-member recruitment channel with no public pricing disclosed. Governance is via an elected Board of Directors, currently led by President Miguel Ojeda, Vice President Richard Figueroa, and Treasurer Antonia Baldridge.
