Fresno State Police Officers Yesenia Hernandez, Alma Hernandez and Abigayle Egger were recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for their DUI arrests during the 2020 calendar year.

On May 19, Chief Jim Watson and Lt. Jennifer Curwick presented officers with a pin to wear on their uniform.

Watson said, “DUI enforcement is an important component of policing. I am very proud of the women in our department who took an active role in protecting our community and have received this recognition.”

Sgt. John Gavel received a proclamation from the Fresno City Council in December for his community-based policing efforts. Gavel has worked closely with the City and the Fresno Police Department in the El Dorado Park Neighborhood and on the Shaw Avenue corridor across from the Fresno State campus. Gavel joined the Fresno State Police Department in 2008.

Dr. Mohan B. Dangi, professor, Geography and City and Regional Planning, was a speaker at Johns Hopkins University.
