In her first full year leading the Fresno Police Department, Chief Mindy Casto delivered unprecedented results—bringing the city’s homicide count down to just 22 in 2025, the lowest in over 50 years. Through targeted gang enforcement, rapid investigations, and expanded use of technology like ShotSpotter and license-plate readers, Fresno achieved a 70% drop in murders since 2020 while maintaining a 100% clearance rate. Her success marks a transformative shift in public safety and community trust.

Nicole Zieba sits in for John Broeske.
