August 2017 Salute to Law Enforcement: Sgt. Junell Krabbenhoft

Junell has been with the Fargo Police Department for over 10 years, and has served as an Officer, Detective, Patrol Sergeant, and currently as a Sergeant within investigations. Sgt. Krabbenhoft oversees our Crimes against Children and Sex Offender detectives. Her Sergeant position was newly created this past January because of the overwhelming amount of work in these areas. Since taking on this role Sgt. Krabbenhoft has overseen the successful operation of an underage sex sting. In this sting men who were attempting to engage in sexual relations with what they thought were underage females were arrested. Sgt. Krabbenhoft also organized an outreach operation making contact with females advertising on sex websites, this is done to offer services and provide help if they are victims of human trafficking. Sgt. Krabbenhoft has also been instrumental in building stronger relationships with our partners as we continue to help children that have been victims of physical, sexual, and mental abuse.
