Short answer
West Fargo Police is the official law enforcement agency for West Fargo. Call 911 for emergencies. The department publishes 701-515-5500 on westfargond.gov, and the regional dispatch center handles some non-urgent calls. West Fargo Police are separate from Fargo Police, and Help Me does not dispatch officers.
The facts, in one place

- Metro non-emergency dispatch 701-451-7660 is used across Fargo–Moorhead–West Fargo for some non-urgent police response — West Fargo has pointed the public there for scam reports and similar. Confirm if you are unsure.
- Code enforcement is a different desk on the same campus of buildings. It is not 911.
- Cass County still covers county human services. City police are West Fargo Police, not Fargo PD.
When a neighbor is the wrong tool
Threats, break-ins, domestic violence, a crash, a missing person — official. A dead battery in a Veterans Boulevard lot can be a helper. Do not split the difference in a crisis.
Where Help Me fits
Help Me is not a police partner. A neighbor can help with a small favor, and officers handle crime, crashes, and threats.
Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
