The West Fargo Police Department has 5 police clerks that serve from 6:30 a.m. through 10:30 p.m.  The police clerks attend to routine clerical and administrative work such as: answering phone, receiving the public, providing customer assistance, cashiering, data processing and bookkeeping. 

They also provide clerical support for members of the police department; and assisting in the administration of the standard operating policies and procedures of the police department.

They are supervised by Office Manager Chris Seidel.

Police Clerks and Officers are available at the West Fargo Police Department to fingerprint the public between the hours of 6:30am to 10:30pm, seven days a week. 

If you are a West Fargo resident, there is no charge to get printed.  If you do not live in West Fargo, there is a $10 charge.  The West Fargo Police Department only accepts cash or checks. 

The West Fargo Police Department has electronic fingerprint capability for agencies in North Dakota requesting the prints.  For example if you need to get printed for the North Dakota Board of Nurses, we are able to do electrionic prints instead of ink fingerprints.  Do not write on your fingerprint cards, if they were provided to you, until you speak with staff at the West Fargo Police Department.  Once the prints are completed they will be signed and sealed.
