🌐 www.cheyennepd.org/socialmedia Cheyenne sprang up in the path of the transcontinental railroad in 1867 as it crossed the great plains. Nicknamed "Hell on Wheels," the rowdy town of railroad workers and soldiers from nearby Fort D.A. Cheyenne did not remain a wild town for long, as a booming livestock industry attracted investment fr

om eastern and foreign cattle barons. With this new wealth, Cheyenne developed fine hotels, theaters, and the first opera house west of the Mississippi. In the 1880s, Cheyenne was the wealthiest per capita city in the world. The state Capitol's dome was even covered in gold leaf. Folks came from all over to "Live the Legend" that Cheyenne was known for. The Cheyenne Police Department was created to protect residents and visitors alike. Cheyenne is still the hub of state government, progressive business and destination for those who wish to "Live the Legend" of the old west. Much like the earlier lawmen who gave their blood, sweat and tears to protect Cheyenne from the outlaws of yesterday, the professional women and men of today's Cheyenne Police Department continue to be leaders in public safety by fulfilling its mission of "Protecting the Legend" that Cheyenne is known for.

School has been back in session for just over 1 week, and our team has been working to keep our school zones safe.

We recently noticed a social media post raising concerns about unsafe driving near elementary schools in the South Triad. This morning, our motor officers were in the area. Within a 20-minute time frame, two different drivers were stopped and cited for driving 15 mph over in a school zone (35 mph in a 20 mph school zone). Each ticket was $305.

Please remember to slow down, stop for school buses, and watch for children walking. If you see dangerous driving, let us know.

Stay alert and stay safe!

Cheyenne Man Sentenced in Child Sexual Assault, Abuse Case

A case investigated by the Cheyenne Police Department's Detective Bureau was recently adjudicated in Laramie County District Court.

Daniel Holmquist, 39 years old, from Cheyenne, was sentenced to 32 to 40 years in prison for sexual assault of a juvenile. He also received sentences of 13 to 15 years for sexual assault/abuse and 2 to 4 years for fraud. The sentences will be served concurrently.

Case Background:
The investigation began in March 2025 when Cheyenne Police Officers were informed that a minor had been sexually abused. Working with detectives, investigators were able to determine that Holmquist had abused the minor over the course of several years. He was arrested and booked into the Laramie County Jail on March 22, 2025.

Officers with the Cheyenne Police Department served five search warrants this morning in relation to a series of vehicle burglaries occurring this August. Items stolen include fi****ms, the vehicles themselves, and electronics. The majority of these vehicle burglaries occurred with the victim vehicle's doors being unlocked. CPD Officers and Detectives were able to follow up on leads related to these cases and identify numerous individuals involved with these events.

Through careful surveillance and planning, officers conducted five simultaneous search warrants in the morning of August 25, 2026, to look for items stolen in the burglaries. While the warrants were being served, four of the juvenile suspects were taken into custody. Because of the proximity to schools and the involved juveniles being school-aged, extra efforts were taken to serve these warrants while the students were not in school.
This case remains under investigation by the Cheyenne Police Department.

This morning, a swearing-in ceremony was held at the Public Safety Center for two police officers and one Community Service Officer. We’re proud to welcome Officers Dylan Ashworth and Alora Jones, and CSO Dan Zabriskie into their new roles! 👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

• For Officer Ashworth, joining the CPD means serving the community he’s always called home. He was born in Cheyenne and is a graduate of Burns High School - it’s been a longtime goal of his to pursue a career in law enforcement.

• Officer Jones came to Cheyenne from Mississippi to continue serving in the Army National Guard. She has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and also brings experience as a personal fitness instructor and group trainer.

• CSO Zabriskie is no stranger to the department - after 14 years of service as a sworn police officer, he retired and is now beginning a new chapter as a Community Service Officer. His background includes experience as a supervisor, field training officer, school resource officer, crisis negotiator, and service in the Army National Guard.

Congratulations - we’re glad to have you! 🎉

Back-to-School Reminder: Watch for HAWK Signals!🚦

As students return to class on Monday (8/24), we're reminding drivers to pay extra attention in school zones and near crosswalks. Many of these areas have been equipped with High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signals.

HAWKs are designed to help with crossing busy streets. Unlike traditional crosswalks, they are only activated when a pedestrian pushes a button.

Here is what you need to know:
🟡Flashing/solid yellow = A pedestrian has requested to cross. Slow down and get ready to stop.
🔴Solid red = Stop completely. Wait for pedestrians to cross.
🔴🔴Flashing red = Stop. Check that the crosswalk is clear and proceed only when it’s safe (treat this like a stop sign).

✔️ Signal Locations:
- Yellowstone Road (near Davis Elementary School)
- East Pershing Boulevard & McCann Avenue (near Baggs Elementary)
- Western Hills Boulevard & Moccasin Avenue (near McCormick Jr. High)

Slow down, stay alert, and help us keep our kids safe.
