West Fargo police have released the name of the officer who died while on duty. Lieutenant Adam Gustafson died from complications from a medical emergency while at the police station.  Gustafson worked his way up the ranks within the department and was most recently promoted to lieutenant, serving in the patrol division, since 2018.

A memorial honoring Gustafson has been set up in the public lobby of the city hall grand foyer.

The West Fargo police department is currently being assisted with calls for service by the Cass County sheriff’s office, Fargo police and the North Dakota highway patrol.  A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
