FARGO, N.D. (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 (TURN'-uhs) says 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.
