Laramie Recent Arrests: Mugshots, Bookings & Records

There is no single database that answers every question about an arrest. A current inmate list, police report, Sheriff record and court case serve different purposes.

Laramie County’s official Sheriff page does not present the current list as a historical arrest archive. It provides an Inmate Information page with a link labeled “List of Current Inmates in our Jail.” Use that route for present custody.

1. 1

   Open the Sheriff’s official Inmate Information page

   Go directly to Laramie County Inmate Information. Starting from the government page reduces the chance of landing on an outdated copied jail list.

2. 2

   Select “List of Current Inmates in our Jail”

   Use the current-inmate link provided near the top of the Sheriff page. The wording matters: this is meant to identify people currently in jail, not everyone arrested during a historical period.

3. 3

   Match the person carefully

   Compare the full legal name and any identifying booking information shown. Do not assume that two people with the same or similar name are the same person.

4. 4

   Record the inmate or AR number if one is provided

   The detention center uses an inmate number, also described as an AR #, for functions such as inmate mail. Keeping the exact identifier can prevent mistakes when sending mail or funds.

5. 5

   Verify urgent custody, bond or release information by phone

   If you are about to post bond, arrange transportation or make another time-sensitive decision, call the Sheriff’s Office at 307-633-4700. The county telephone directory also lists Sheriff Booking/Jail at 307-633-4719.

6. 6

   Follow the arrest into the court system

   A jail entry tells you about custody. It does not establish the final charge or outcome. Use the court section below to find the agency that maintains the criminal case.

The safest way to handle a mugshot search is to separate current inmate information from an official historical record request. Do not assume a third-party mugshot page is the complete or current county record.

The LCSO Records Section publishes separate instructions for businesses and private citizens. For a private-citizen request, the county asks for a written or typed request containing enough case information to identify the record, and requires identity verification through a signed and notarized request with a Notary Certificate.

1. 1

   Open the official Records Services page

   Start with LCSO Records Services and Fee Schedule.

2. 2

   Gather identifiers before writing the request

   Include the case number if known, names, dates of birth, incident date and location. A precise request is easier for Records staff to locate than a broad request based only on a common name.

3. 3

   Private citizens should complete the identity step

   The current county instructions say the request must be signed and notarized with a Notary Certificate to verify the private requester’s identity.

4. 4

   Send it through the method listed by Records

   The page allows a completed request to be scanned and emailed with a short description. Records can also answer submission questions at 307-633-4800.

5. 5

   Allow for processing time

   LCSO currently states that requests generally take 7–10 days, while some situations can take up to 30 days.

If Cheyenne Police Department investigated or made the arrest, the police report may be maintained by CPD even though the person was later handled through the county detention system.

Where a bond is posted depends on the type of bond and whether the court is open. Do not assume every bond can be paid at the jail.

1. 1

   Confirm the current bond and court

   Call the Sheriff’s Office or appropriate court before leaving home. An old screenshot or third-party listing may not reflect a later court order.

2. 2

   For jail-eligible bonds, bring the exact amount

   The Sheriff’s inmate page states that the detention facility cannot make change for bond payments and does not accept coins.

3. 3

   For a District Court bond, plan for processing time

   The Clerk of District Court says posting a bond takes about an hour and asks people to arrive by 4 p.m. to complete the transaction.

4. 4

   Take court paperwork where instructed

   For a bond posted with the District Court, the county says the person posting it is responsible for hand-delivering the paperwork to the Laramie County Detention Facility.

Once you confirm a person is in custody, stop searching arrest pages and use the Sheriff’s inmate-service instructions. The county publishes detailed rules for remote visits, inmate funds, correspondence and property release.

Wyoming separates cases by court jurisdiction. The arresting agency or jail does not replace the court record. If you are trying to determine the current criminal case, charges or disposition, identify the court that handles the matter.

1. 1

   Start with the booking details you already have

   Write down the exact legal name, arrest date, agency and any case or citation number. Those identifiers make a court-record inquiry more reliable.

2. 2

   Identify whether the case belongs in Circuit or District Court

   If you are unsure, use the Wyoming Judicial Branch Find a Court directory or call the local clerk.

3. 3

   Ask for the case record, not merely the arrest entry

   When the final outcome matters, look for filed charges, court events and the disposition rather than relying on the original booking allegation.

4. 4

   Use courthouse access when online information is incomplete

   Wyoming’s public-access rules provide for public court-record access subject to confidentiality rules and access restrictions. Contact the clerk when the record you need is not available through the public route you are using.

1. Confirm the city and county. The City of Laramie is in Albany County; Cheyenne is in Laramie County.
2. Check the current-inmate source first. Do not start with copied mugshot pages if your question is present custody.
3. Call when timing matters. For urgent county jail information, use 307-633-4700 or the county-listed jail number 307-633-4719.
4. Use Records for older information. A former inmate may no longer appear on the current list.
5. Check the court separately. Release from jail does not mean the criminal case is finished.
6. Check state custody when appropriate. WDOC is a different system from the county detention center.

1. Searching the wrong Laramie. Laramie County and the City of Laramie are different jurisdictions.
2. Treating the current inmate list as a complete arrest archive. Use Sheriff Records when you need an older record.
3. Assuming a booking photo proves a conviction. Use the court record to determine what happened to the case.
4. Sending a CPD records request by email. Cheyenne Police says public records requests are processed only through its online portal.
5. Going to the jail with the wrong type of bond. Felony, District, percentage and cash-surety bonds are not accepted at the detention facility.
6. Expecting change for a jail bond. The detention center requires the exact amount for bonds it is authorized to accept.
7. Expecting in-person adult visitation. The county currently states that adult inmate visitation is offsite only.
8. Mailing an inmate at an old address. Ordinary personal mail currently uses the Longview, Texas processing address; legal mail uses 1910 Pioneer Avenue.
9. Using only the jail record for a high-stakes decision. Arrest information should not substitute for legally appropriate screening and disposition verification.
