FARGO (AP) — The Fargo Police Department is banning all employees from texting while driving department vehicles.

The policy change is expected in the next month. Chief Keith Ternes said it also will limit cell phone use while driving to “necessary and reasonable” calls.

Ternes and other city officials also are watching the fate of a proposed citywide texting and driving ban in Grand Forks, to see whether Fargo should consider a similar ordinance.

Grand Forks officials have debated the ordinance the past few months and likely will take up the issue again next week.
