Campbell County, Wyoming, has about 48,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Campbell County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the County Attorney files charges, a case in the District Court for Campbell County. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Campbell County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Campbell County is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2018 the jail held about 200 people. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Campbell County
For Campbell County the place to look is the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at campbellcountywy.gov/135/County-Attorney, phone (307) 682-4310).
Wyoming does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
