The Crime Suppression Unit (CSU) is the first highly visible and proactive policing unit of its kind in the Sacramento region that focuses on enforcement in Rancho Cordova to continue to improve quality of life for residents and businesses.

These areas are identified based on crime analysis, including calls for service and other intelligence, as well as community tips and complaints. Once these areas have been identified, CSU proactively hits the street to conduct enforcement.

Created in 2015, thanks to a grant from the city’s Community Enhancement Fund, the team made over 1,300 arrests and contacted nearly 3,500 probationers during the first five years of the program. The team also takes firearms and narcotics off the street, mitigates crimes before they occur, and deters those who would commit crimes in the city.
