=== Law enforcement ===
Law enforcement services are provided by the [[Kern County Sheriff's Department]].<ref>[http://www.co.kern.ca.us/sheriff/ Sheriff Home<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> From 1933 to 1954, personnel from the Mojave substation met the law enforcement need of the Boron area. The first actual office space occupied by the sheriff's office in Boron was a [[quonset hut]] shared with the fire department in the 12200 block of Boron Avenue. This continued until 1963 when the sheriff's office established the substation building at 26949 Cote Street. This building housed a small jail and the court in Boron, which operated one day a week.<ref>[https://kernsheriff.org/Mojave Mojave Substation]</ref>
