FRESNO DEPUTY SHERIFF'S ASSOCIATION
The Fresno Deputy
Sheriff’s Association was organized over thirty years ago to give
members of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office the opportunity for fair
representation based on the Peace Officer Bill of Rights. The FDSA was
also organized to give a group of Deputy Sheriffs the opportunity to
collectively bargain with the County of Fresno for wages, benefits, and
working conditions.
Over time, the FDSA has evolved, not only as a
labor organization with the members we represent, but as part of the
community as well. The FDSA is generous to charitable organizations,
both financially and with active participation from its members. By
working for an elected Sheriff, the FDSA stays politically involved in
the community on issues the organization sees can affect law enforcement
or the Sheriff.
The FDSA represents over 500 active employees.
Although Deputy Sheriffs make up the majority of the membership,
dispatchers, community service officers, identification technicians,
criminalists, and deputy coroners are all represented by the FDSA. The
variety of job classifications allows the FDSA to represent both sworn
and support personnel throughout the enforcement side of the Fresno
Sheriff’s Office.
The FDSA is an active participant in our State
Association, Peace Officer’s Research Association of California (PORAC).
The FDSA holds a director at large seat on this board and one of our
members is on the Executive Board.
The
Fresno Deputy Sheriff’s Association’s goal is to be an outreach for its
members and the community. These goals are achieved when all come
together to reach that common goal. Our main focus is law enforcement,
not only for labor aspects, but also to serve the citizens of Fresno
County who rely on us for their public safety needs.
