Carbon County, Wyoming, has about 14,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Carbon County depends on where the incident happened: the Carbon County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Wyoming Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Carbon County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Carbon County that is the Carbon County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
Reports from the Carbon County Sheriff's Office
The Carbon County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it reported 256 arrests for 2020.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at carboncountysheriff.com (page title: Carbon County Sheriff's), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
