Certain Fresno Area Law Enforcement Services will be Consolidated
The Fresno County Board of Supervisors and Fresno City Council announced the consolidation of certain Fresno County Sheriff and Fresno City Police functions on July 13, 2007. The Greater Fresno Area Chamber of Commerce (GFACC) hired a consulting firm, Management Partners, Inc. in January 2006 to research and recommend procedures for integrating functions of the two law enforcement departments. The report was submitted to the GFACC in May 2006.
A board of directors will govern the consolidation with Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims and Fresno City Police Chief Jerry Dyer as board members. The Fresno Bee reported the Police Department will “take over property and evidence storage,” while the Sheriff’s Department will process prisoners.
