Weston County, Wyoming, has about 6,900 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Weston County depends on where the incident happened: the Weston 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 Weston County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Weston County that is the Weston 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.

The Weston County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 2 violent and 6 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 8 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit.

What the Wyoming Public Records Act Requires
Under the Wyoming Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 30 days at most, and it may charge the actual cost of copying. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at wyoarchives.wyo.gov/index.php/ask-an-archivist/public-records-reque... (page title: Public Records Requests in Wyoming | Wyoming State Archives).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, 307-746-9131, handles discovery for pending cases.
