Officer Involved Shootings Report
Police Chief’s Message
The men and women of the Fresno Police Department are committed to serving our community with honesty, compassion and respect. It is the highest priority of the Fresno Police Department that we keep our community safe by preventing citizens from becoming victims of crime. The members of this agency have taken an oath to protect the sanctity of life, promote human dignity and uphold people’s liberty. Under these guiding principles, deadly force is used only in the most extreme circumstances in order to protect human life.
When Deadly Force is Used
The Fresno Police Department maintains the highest possible regard for human life as we enforce the laws of the State of California and City of Fresno. Although the vast majority of persons contacted by law enforcement officers are law abiding and/or compliant, increasingly, officers are called to intervene in potentially violent confrontations with individuals involved in criminal behavior. These encounters present serious threats to the safety of the community, law enforcement personnel and even to the subject themselves. Without the intervention of law enforcement personnel in these instances, serious consequences such as injury or death can occur as a result.
The principal philosophy of this Department mandates, without exception, that members exercise due caution in the application of force and respond in an objectively reasonable manner consistent with the authorities and restrictions that govern the use of force by law enforcement officers.
When deadly force is used, the shooting officer is placed on administrative leave while the circumstances of the shooting and the officers’ actions undergo a thorough and unbiased review. All officer involved shootings are also forwarded to the District Attorney to be reviewed.
The Fresno Police Department has policies and procedures in place that guide officers’ actions during events where a use of force is necessary and which ensure that critical, recurring training mandates are met which promote the safest possible outcome for the public and the officer. This agency is equally committed to a complete and fair review of every use of force that Fresno Police Department members are involved in as well as thorough investigations of all officer involved shootings. Policies, training, and investigative procedures used by the Fresno Police Department in these reviews and investigations reflect law enforcement best practices as well as national accreditation standards for law enforcement agencies.
Why We Post Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) Information
Providing a clear understanding of the role of law enforcement in society is a critical component to maintaining and establishing a trust relationship with the community. The 2015 Presidential Commission on Policing in the 21st Century focused much of its attention on improving transparency of police actions as a means of fostering understanding and trust between the law enforcement agency and the community they protect.
We believe that your trust and confidence in the Fresno Police Department will increase as you understand what our officers’ are confronted with, how we train and prepare our officers for these critical encounters, and how we hold our officers accountable for their actions. We are continuously reviewing and improving our policies, procedures, training, equipment and our de-escalation techniques so that deadly force encounters will only be utilized when necessary to protect life.
Policies & Procedures
Fresno Police Department Policies and Procedures guide officer decisions and actions. Although the agency has published many of these policies for the public to view, not all information has been made available to the public. Some policies have been determined to be sensitive which, if released, has the potential to make citizens, crime victims and members of the Fresno Police Department less safe.
Policy and Other Manuals
Fresno Police Policy Manual
The department manuals are currently being updated. Website will be updated once they updates have been completed. We have already saved them in case we need them in the future.
Monthly Crime Statistics

Traffic Stops Demographic Data
The Racial and Identity Profiling Act of 2015 (AB 953), enacted Government Code section 12525.5, which requires state and local law enforcement agencies, as specified, to collect data regarding stops of individuals, including perceived demographic information on the person stopped, and to report this data to the California Attorney General’s Office. AB 953 requires the Attorney General to issue regulations for the collection and reporting of this stop data.
As a result of AB 953, the Stop Data previously reported on this site is now being sent to the State and available at https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov. Summary statistics will also be available in the annual report which will be posted to the OAG site early next year at https://oag.ca.gov/ab953
