We would like to recognize Sgt. Ortega for his efforts in helping save a small child today. Sgt. Ortega was dispatched to a residence where a small child was choking on a piece of plastic and was able to dislodge the item from the child’s throat. Thank you Sgt. Ortega!
We are happy to report that after many traffic stops last night we made 0 arrests for DUI! We are unhappy to report that we arrested two people for possession of methamphetamine.
#MethIsBad
Thank you Officer Holte for your service to our Country State & Community, we will never forget you. Deputy Nord we wish you a speedy recovery & thank you for your service to our Country State & Community. We will keep the impacted families & community members in our thoughts.
Hi Michael,
Yes, occasionally we do deploy plain clothes officers around UND. This is for many reasons to include the large amount of criminal mischief that has occurred in Walsh Hall which exceeds $1,500. Just remember, your future depends on your actions.

If you choose to consume alcohol underage which is illegal in North Dakota please DO NOT put your glass containers in a backpack and walk down University. We know your not going to study with bottles clanking together.

One year ago today this community lost a hero! Today we remember and honor Officer Cody Holte for his sacrifice for others. We will never forget you Officer Holte!
No... You can on a bicycle though... Roller blading while intoxicated presents its own set of issues around Grand Forks such as potholes, sticks, parked motor vehicles, etc.

We are frantically searching for the law where it says you can’t sell your uncles fake teeth on Facebook. We don’t care if they are like “new” or if he owes you money.

5 Things Walsh Hall Could Be Doing instead of vandalizing property:
1. Study for the upcoming finals.
2. Make the police donuts.
3. Order

4. Invite the police to the party.
5. Keep your friends from breaking others property.

Freshman Tip for Walsh Hall: Remember you still need water when you are making Easy Mac. Water is a key ingredient and possibly the most important one.
#BestCopsAround
First off what is this stuff? Second off who actually drinks this? Lastly, who leaves this many cans in front of an elementary school? If you know of anyone that lost their canned alcoholic juice, let us know.

This little dog was rescued by members of the Pike House this morning at about 3:30 a.m. The little dog was brought to the Humane Society as we couldn’t locate the owner. Please share with your friends. We are just glad he was dressed for the weather with a fancy sweater.
This is what happens when your rough and tough Police K9 lives with you and three girls. Sometimes you are just obligated to play dress up.

Mr. Doctor,
“I am as healthy as can be. I can still run really fast, sniff for all different drugs, lay on my back for people to rub my stomach, and play dress up with the girls I live with. I have no idea why Sgt. Solis brought me here today.”
Community Alert: The UND Police Department has placed the Grinch under arrest early this morning. When spotted by officers he took off on foot leaving presents behind. Officers caught up to him a short time later. He said he was trying to get an early start.

A UND Student sent us this picture with a message saying “Y’all really are the

Guess who is super excited about finding methamphetamine tonight? Officers conducted a traffic stop and the driver went to jail for possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of retired K9 Ben. K9 Ben served the University of North Dakota and Grand Forks Communities from 2014 until February of 2021, when he was diagnosed with cancer.
Well you weren’t arrested because the jail doesn’t allow people to tweet from their cell. We also don’t arrest people & then just set them free 15 minutes later. But don’t forget to add the part where you were intoxicated & yelling at REA Security.
#HockeyPolice
Of course you did because that’s what fits your agenda. NDSU beat UND in men’s basketball. In Women’s Basketball UND beat NDSU for the 8 consecutive time.
On November 21, 2017 members of the Grand Forks Narcotics Task Force served a search warrant at 1611 4th Ave N. This warrant was based upon an investigation & resulted in the seizure of: 60 lbs of marijuana, numerous pills, two vehicles, an AR15 rifle, and nearly $70,000 cash.
Was this breakfast or lunch? What school did you go to? Who authorized this? We have so many unanswered questions. We firmly believe an investigation is warranted in this matter.
