Organizational Assessment of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Final Report
With 6,017 square miles, Fresno County is the sixth largest county in the State of California. It is projected that the 2007 population will approach 920,000. When examining growth since 1990, the county has increased by almost 38 percent (1.4 percent per year). But fifteen percent of that growth (2.1 percent a year) occurred over just the last seven years. As such, Fresno County is the ninth fastest growing county in California.
