FARGO (KFGO) – The Fargo Police Dept. has completed an investigation into the conduct of former Deputy Chief Todd Osmundson.
The investigation, conducted by the Office of Professional Standards, concluded several facts about Osmundson’s conduct on Saturday, May 30 during the downtown Fargo riot.
The 23-page report concluded that no member of the police department was aware that Osmundson was acting in an undercover capacity and that Osmundson was not authorized to act in an undercover capacity.
“This was an unprecedented event for all involved” the report says. “By his own admission, DC Osmundson created further jeopardy and peril to his fellow officers by his actions. He conducted an operation on his own without proper notification or planning. His consumption of alcohol on duty was not authorized because no one knew of this operation.”
Osmundson was placed on unpaid suspension June 4. He resigned later the same day.
