"Text-to-911 is available in the City of Laramie with plans from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. Callers must have an active phone service plan with data to use the service; it will not work with third-party texting applications.

This option is appropriate in situations including:

- Emergencies in which the caller is deaf, hard of hearing, or has a speech disability.
- Emergencies in which the caller cannot speak due to a medical condition or accident.
- Emergencies involving abduction, domestic violence, an intruder, an active shooter, or other situations put the caller in danger if they make a voice call.

To use the service, text 911 in the field for a phone number. Do not use any other numbers. Make sure to:

- Provide your exact address or location.
- Explain the type of emergency or help needed.
- Be prepared to answer any questions the 911 telecommunicator texts back.
- Use plain language; do not use abbreviations, symbols, emoticons, or photos.
- Make messages brief and concise.

Text-to-911 may not be available outside of the City of Laramie. If a text is made to 911 when the service is not available, a message will be sent back to the phone advising the customer to make a voice call."

"41% of child trafficking situations are facilitated by a family member or relative. Another 14% of cases are facilitated by an intimate partner and 11% by friends"

Terri Markham, executive director of the statewide anti-trafficking organization Uprising, said familial trafficking is difficult to catch. It's also the most common type of trafficking she hears about, and one of her biggest concerns for Wyoming communities.

You will notice some changes when you call our non-emergent number 307-721-2526.

We have instituted a phone tree to better serve you. Our dispatchers were getting inundated with spam calls which was impacting their ability to serve you, they were often having to place your calls on hold to determine if the other call was an emergency and delaying getting to your call.

Thank you for patiently accepting the phone tree!

Thieves tend to take the easy route! Almost all vehicles in auto theft and burglary cases we receive were unlocked! The steps below can make your car much less enticing.

We have recently seen an increase in vehicle thefts over the last few weeks.

Here are a few reminders:

Always lock your vehicle, even when parked at home or for a short time.

Close all windows and sunroofs completely.

Never leave keys, key fobs, or valuables inside the vehicle.

Park in well-lit, visible areas whenever possible.

Report suspicious activity to Dispatch immediately. (307)721-2526.

A locked vehicle is a safer vehicle. Take a moment to secure it and prevent theft before it occurs.
