The Fresno Fire Department (FFD) has served the community with pride since 1877. We are one of the most innovative and progressive fire departments in the nation, guided by our mission to protect and put service above all else, our core values of teamwork, trust, and commitment, and our vision of being recognized as a standard of excellence in the fire service.

With 20 stations across our community, we provide full-time fire suppression, fire prevention, urban search and rescue, hazardous material response, and airport firefighting capabilities.

The Fresno County Sheriff's Office was established in 1856 and has a proud history and tradition of providing professional law enforcement services to the nearly one million citizens of Fresno County. The Sheriff's Office patrols more than 6,000 square miles of Central California with a diversity of terrain that varies from open farmlands to metropolitan areas to the rugged mountain peaks of over 11,000 feet. There are approximately 1,300 employees at the agency who are dedicated to providing professional law enforcement services to the citizens of Fresno County. We follow the motto, "One Team, One Mission 

We are a team of dedicated public servants who care about the Fresno community and strive to serve with compassion, honesty, and respect.

The men and women of the Fresno Police Department are dedicated to serving our community with honesty, compassion, and respect as we keep our citizens safe. We do this by preventing citizens from becoming victims of crime or being injured in a traffic collision. This is our highest priority. We are also committed to providing excellent service in those areas that are valued most by our citizens. Above all else, we must maintain the trust of our community. This five letter word is the foundation of every law enforcement agency.

Trust is what gives our officers the authority to do their job and the legitimacy to police neighborhoods. This trust must be continually earned and should never be taken for granted.

California is comprised of culturally diverse people of all ages. Yet, we all have this in common: We all use roads and highways throughout the state to go places, conduct business, engage in commerce, or simply enjoy California's beauty. Help us do it safely! The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is actively working to reduce collision and fatality rates in California. Below are the programs designed to help promote safety and communication between California's diverse residents and the CHP. ​
