Does Fresno County have a gang unit?
Established in 1997, the Multi-County Gang Enforcement Consortium or M.A.G.E.C. is a coordinated law enforcement effort that maximizes Fresno County gang investigative, suppression, and prosecution expertise, targeting law enforcement resources to suppress the most violent criminal gang leaders. M.A.G.E.C. is made of three high-functioning teams: 1) Rural Investigative and Tactical Team covers all of Fresno County except City of Fresno and Clovis; 2) Metro Investigative and Tactical Team – covers City of Fresno and Clovis; and 3) Prosecution Team is responsible for vertical prosecution of all State of California level criminal cases initiated by or assisted by M.A.G.E.C. teams.
