About Police Station in Wyoming
Understanding police station in the Wyoming
Welcome to the most complete and up-to-date directory of police detention and holding facilities in Wyoming. This page lists every active police-operated jail, holding facility, and lockup currently operating across Wyoming, giving families, attorneys, bail bondsmen, and the general public fast and reliable access to accurate information about police-level detention. When a loved one is arrested by a local or municipal police department in Wyoming, they are typically taken to a police-operated facility first — before being transferred to a county jail. This directory helps you find exactly where they are being held and what steps to take next.
What Are Police Detention Facilities?
Police detention facilities — commonly called police lockups, holding cells, or police jails — are short-term detention facilities operated by local or municipal police departments. They hold individuals for 24 to 72 hours immediately following arrest while booking is completed, charges are filed, and bail arrangements are made.
Unlike county jails or state prisons, police facilities are not designed for long-term incarceration. If searching for a recently arrested loved one, they may still be at the police facility rather than a county jail, especially in the first 24 to 48 hours after arrest.
How Police Facilities Differ From Other Facilities
- Police Detention Facilities: Operated by local police. Hold individuals for 24-72 hours during booking and initial processing only.
- City Jails: Operated by municipal authorities for slightly longer-term detention including pretrial holding and short sentences.
- County Jails: Operated by the county sheriff's office for pretrial detainees and sentences under one year.
- State Prisons: Operated by Wyoming's DOC for felony offenses with sentences over one year.
- Federal Prisons: Operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for federal crimes.
What Happens After Arrest in Wyoming
- Arrest and Transport: Individual is arrested and transported to the nearest police detention facility.
- Booking and Intake: Photographing, fingerprinting, health screening, belongings search, warrant review (takes several hours).
- Initial Holding: Placed in holding cell while charges are filed and case is reviewed by prosecutors.
- Arraignment/Bail Hearing: Within 24-72 hours, brought before a judge who sets bail or releases them.
- Transfer or Release: Either released or transferred to county jail to await trial.

You can also use our free US inmate locator tool to search by name once booking is complete. Knowing the arrest location and the person's full legal name will help speed up your search.
Getting Bail
For minor charges, bail may be posted directly at the police facility using a standard bail schedule. For serious charges, bail is set at arraignment (within 24-72 hours). A bail bondsman can post bail for a 10-15% non-refundable fee.
Hiring a Lawyer
The period immediately following arrest is one of the most critical windows in the legal process. A criminal defense attorney can advise on rights during questioning, attend bail hearings, and begin building a defense strategy from day one.
Calling a Detainee
Phone access at police facilities is typically limited during initial booking. Once intake is complete, detainees can usually make a limited number of collect calls to notify family members or contact an attorney.
Visitation
Visitation at police detention facilities is typically very limited during the initial holding period. Most police lockups do not offer standard visitation. Regular visitation becomes available once transferred to a county jail.
