Fargo Police Chief Advocates for $13 Million Technology Upgrade
December 21, 2025 - 00:30
Fargo's police chief, Dave Zibolski, is advocating for a significant investment in public safety technology, proposing a new contract worth $13 million. This contract aims to enhance the department's capabilities through the acquisition of drones, Tasers, and body cameras. Zibolski emphasizes the strategic advantages of utilizing drones, which can be deployed to assess situations prior to the arrival of officers on the scene.
The use of drones is expected to provide critical information about crowd dynamics, potential threats, and the overall layout of various incidents. This proactive approach could improve response times and ensure that law enforcement is better prepared when they arrive. In addition to drones, the proposal includes upgrades to Tasers and body cameras, which are essential for transparency and accountability in policing.
Zibolski believes that these technological advancements will not only bolster the safety of officers but also enhance community trust and cooperation in law enforcement efforts.
