How to use this guide
This guide covers statewide Wyoming resources: the government agencies, hotlines, and courts that serve every county. Each section also tells you how to find the right local office near you.
Start here: Wyoming issues protection orders in three categories — domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking — and law enforcement can enforce them anywhere.
Before you call: have your documentation ready — dates, what happened, any messages or photos saved, and whether a report has already been filed elsewhere.
If you're in danger: call 911 first. Every other number in this guide is for follow-up support, not emergency response.
