Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama announced during a press conference on Tuesday that he will be resigning following an investigation into an alleged affair with an officer’s wife.
The chief of police for the city of Fresno officially resigned from his position on Tuesday following an investigation into allegations that he had an affair with an officer's wife. Paco Balderrama, who served as the city's top cop for three and a half years, informed city leadership in February that an allegation would likely be made against him related to an 'inappropriate off-duty relationship he was involved in,' the city said in a statement.
In a statement issued by the city, Balderrama called serving as Fresno's top cop the 'privilege of a lifetime.' 'The people of Fresno are beautiful, diverse and very supportive of their police department. Even through my most difficult trials, you have been king, forgiving, and uplifting. Thank you for being there for me. The rewarding part of the job has not been the huge responsibility, job stress, or intense work. It has always been the people.
