In a statement, Sheriff Jim Cooper said the number of homicides is the lowest number since 1970.
The sheriff noted that the last time the number of homicides was this low was when the county had far fewer residents. Sacramento County had about 631,000 residents 55 years ago, compared to more than 1.6 million today.
Cooper said a significant part of the homicide drop can be credited to the office's Gang Unit, one of the few remaining standalone units in California targeting gangs. The unit had seized 382 firearms in 2025 alone.
The numbers do not include homicides in the City of Sacramento. According to Sacramento Police, 42 homicides took place within city limits in 2025, down from 45 in 2024.
