Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a simple coming-soon landing page presenting itself as the future website of the Durand Police Department. Its visible purpose is municipal public-service information, with no apparent monetization, account functionality, or transaction model.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Confirmed external contradiction is present. Independent threat-intelligence detections identify the domain as malicious, with nine malicious detections and one suspicious detection, including flags from Fortinet and Sophos; the domain is also blacklisted by multiple sources. These findings outweigh the benign appearance of the landing page. The homepage itself contains no login form, sensitive form, payment request, credential prompt, or evident impersonation mechanism, so the available content does not demonstrate credential harvesting or financial solicitation; however, the external reputation signals make sensitive interaction inappropriate. The site's apparent municipal identity therefore remains unverified rather than established.
- The homepage displays only “Durand,” “Durand Police Department,” and “New website coming soon,” with no forms or calls to action requesting money or credentials.
- External analysis recorded 9 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection, with Fortinet and Sophos among the flagged vendors.
- The domain is recorded as blacklisted by the evaluated external sources.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available page provides only a minimal institutional description and does not supply sufficient legal or organizational detail to independently connect the domain to a real-world police department. No licensing claim or registration number is presented; for a municipal information page, this is a disclosure gap rather than evidence of a financial-regulatory violation. Technical continuity is present: the domain is long-established, registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO., and protected by a valid domain-validated TLS certificate issued by YR1. Those controls support transport security and domain continuity but do not validate the operator's identity. No matching broker entry was identified in the available third-party reputational context.
- Domain registration records show creation on 2019-07-25, an age of 7.07 years, and expiration on 2027-07-25; the registrar is TUCOWS.COM, CO.
- Confirmed technical evidence identifies hosting on AS400069, SONICSPECTRUM-01 - SonicPCS, US.
- The site's TLS certificate is DV-validated, issued by YR1, and valid through 2026-09-30T03:32:39+00:00.
- The homepage contains no license authority, license number, formal legal notice, or additional organizational disclosure.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive use, an institution should independently confirm with the relevant municipality or police department that this domain is an authorized web address, using a contact route obtained from an established official government source rather than from the site itself. Any future request for credentials, downloads, payments, or personal information should be validated through that independent channel and subjected to the organization's normal protective controls.
- The homepage identifies the Durand Police Department but remains a coming-soon page with no independent institutional verification details.
- The domain's external threat detections and blacklist status require confirmation of authorization before any sensitive interaction.
- The absence of forms and transaction prompts applies only to the presently observed landing page and does not validate future site functionality.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk. The site presents a low-complexity public-service appearance, but confirmed malicious and blacklist signals create a material contradiction that prevents the domain from being treated as an established or independently verified municipal service.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to infrastructure associated with SONICSPECTRUM-01 - SonicPCS in the United States, with no detected CDN or WAF layer. This offers limited protective separation between the public service and its hosting environment, and infrastructure characteristics cannot offset the external reputation findings.
- Infrastructure resolution identified 1 unique IP, 0 edge IPs, and 1 likely origin IP.
- No trusted CDN was detected; the hosting provider is SONICSPECTRUM-01 - SonicPCS, US.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate operational posture is passive observation only until the municipality independently confirms domain authorization; credentials, downloads, payments, and other sensitive actions should not be performed through the site.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about durandpd.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
