Converse County, Wyoming, has about 14,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Converse County Sheriff's Office and two city agencies. 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 Converse 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.

Who Makes Arrests in Converse County
The Converse County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Converse County. It reported 121 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside two of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Douglas, 6,442 residents: 181 arrests reported for 2025.
- Glenrock, 2,412 residents: 115 arrests reported for 2024.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Converse County
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Douglas: 181 for 2025, 179 for 2024, 135 for 2023, 132 for 2022, 97 for 2021 and 123 for 2020.
- Converse County Sheriff's Office: 121 for 2025, 123 for 2024, 96 for 2023, 165 for 2022, 208 for 2021 and 338 for 2020.
- Glenrock: 115 for 2024, 70 for 2023, 74 for 2022, 89 for 2020 and 99 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 302 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 302 in 2025 against 302 in 2024.
Through July 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 148 arrests, against 160 in the same months of 2025.
Glenrock reported only part of 2025 (11 months) and is left out of the totals.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Converse County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Converse County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 32 people, up from about 28 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 80 beds, and it ran at 40 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Converse County
An arrest in Converse County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the District Court for Converse County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at conversecountywy.gov/197/Clerk-of-District-Court, phone (307) 432-0807); the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at conversecountywy.gov/185/County-Attorney, phone 307-358-5020).
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.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Converse County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Wyoming Public Records Act the agency must answer within 30 days at most, and it may charge the actual cost of copying.
- An arrest by the Converse County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at 307-358-4700.
- An arrest in Douglas or Glenrock: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, 307-358-5020, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the District Court for Converse County, through the court records page at conversecountywy.gov, phone (307) 432-0807.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at conversecountywy.gov (page title: Public Records Request | Converse County, WY).
