Yesterday, alongside friends and family, we came together to celebrate the life and service of former Fargo Police Sergeant Tyrell Fauske, who passed away Friday, August 21, after his courageous battle with glioblastoma.

It was a day to remember a great leader, teacher, friend, husband, father, son and man of faith. We all shared stories, memories and were reminded of the impact Tyrell had on so many people throughout his life.

While we said goodbye, we also celebrated the life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind. His positive spirit, servant’s heart and genuine care for others will never be forgotten.

A special thank you to the FPD Honor Guard and the honor guards from our partner agencies across the region who came together to help us honor Tyrell’s life and service. Your presence meant a great deal to our department and to Tyrell’s family.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with Tyrell’s family and all those who loved him during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Tyrell. We’ll take it from here. 💙

Today, and the Fargo Fire Department teamed up with the American Red Cross - North Dakota/NW MN for the 9th Annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive!

Fargo Police and Fargo Fire went head-to-head to see who could rally the most blood donors. But the compeition didn't stop there. The 2nd Annual Battle of the Cities was also back, with Fargo Public Safety and Moorhead Public Safety competing to see which community could collect the most donations through their respective Battle of the Badges blood drives.

🏆 The winning agency between Fargo Police and Fargo Fire will be announced at a later date, followed by the Battle of the Cities winner. The winning city will then be recognized at a future city commission or city council meeting.

But while we may keep score for bragging rights and a trophy, the real reason we show up is simple: every donation can help save a life.

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves, donated and supported this year’s Battle of the Badges. We’re proud to serve alongside our friends at Fargo Fire and our neighbors in Moorhead for a cause that brings our communities together. ❤️

Thanks Fargo Cass Public Health for the great training for our civilian staff!

🚨 Prepared to save a life! ❤️
Fargo Police Department support staff and Community Service Officers recently completed opioid overdose response training, learning how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and respond with naloxone (Narcan). Every trained responder adds another layer of protection for our community and increases the chance that someone experiencing an overdose can survive and get another opportunity for recovery.

Thank you to the FPD team for taking the time to learn these lifesaving skills and for helping make Fargo a safer, healthier community! If your organization is interested in free training and Narcan call 701.241.1341.
