A multi-agency Fresno compliance operation led by the CDCR parole agents resulted in 19 arrests and numerous checks on parole supervised people.
The Jan. 21 Fresno operation featured checks on registered sex offenders, gang-affiliated people and others under parole supervision.
“These compliance checks support public safety and accountability by strengthening partnerships that encourage successful reintegration,” said Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO) Director Bryan Bishop. “DAPO parole agents work diligently to ensure individuals under supervision are adhering to their conditions, helping maintain safe and thriving communities.”
Operation New Year’s Resolve, led by DAPO’s Community Compliance Unit, was assisted by 79 law enforcement officers from state and local agencies. There were no injuries or uses of force related to the operation.
Individuals on parole are required to adhere to special conditions of parole including obeying the law, refraining from firearm possession or other weapons and regularly reporting to their parole agent. DAPO uses many operational strategies in communities to ensure public safety, bring supervised people into compliance and provide them with needed resources.
Those found in violation of parole will face possible revocation of parole or new criminal charges in relation to parole violations.
