The Fremont County DUI Task Force prioritizes impaired driving, but officers, deputies and troopers issued 25 citations for other offenses and made eight other arrests.

During the three-day operation, the task force issued 141 warnings and one seat belt citation.

No impaired driving fatalities were reported during the operation.

In 2026, the Fremont County DUI Task Force arrested three impaired drivers, wrote 122 speeding citations and made 600 traffic stops during two enforcement operations.

The Fremont County DUI Task Force includes the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Fremont County Sheriff's Office, and the Lander, Riverton, Shoshoni, Dubois and Wind River police departments.

These enforcement efforts are supported by a media campaign that stresses law enforcement's zero-tolerance stance on impaired driving and commitment to seat belt enforcement.
