Delano is officially the first city in Kern County, and possibly in the state, to have the national motto “In God We Trust” placed on its patrol cars, but Bakersfield could soon be next.
At Wednesday’s city council meeting, Bakersfield pastor Angelo Frazier plans to make a presentation during public comment, proposing Bakersfield follow in Delano’s footsteps by adding the nation’s motto to patrol cars.
“When Delano happened, that kind of snapped me into reality,” said Frazier, who has been thinking about the idea for many years. “Everyone I’ve talked to in the community are all for it.”
