WHP Dispatch Vision Statement
WHP Dispatch is a vital link between the public and emergency services, committed to serving with courtesy, professionalism, and compassion.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol operates a centralized communications center based in Cheyenne. In this center, WHP dispatchers make a difference every day to communicate and coordinate the efforts of WHP troopers statewide as well as many other agencies and emergency responders. WHP dispatchers are highly skilled and proficient in the operation of a statewide multi-tower computerized two-way radio network and a multi-faceted, computer-aided dispatch system. WHP dispatchers use these and a variety of other resources to:
Provide a communications link between the public & emergency services
Ensure officers receive necessary assistance and backup with an emphasis on officer safety
Process trooper-initiated traffic stops and any other situations requiring trooper response
Direct emergency response to motor vehicle crashes and other emergencies
Send medical assistance to the injured
Direct aid to disabled motorists
Document officer activities and event details
Provide officers with information from computerized law enforcement files
Furnish information to other law enforcement, the public, and numerous other agencies
In addition to WHP Troopers, the Wyoming Highway Patrol Communications Center is responsible for providing dispatch services to other agencies via a radio system called the State Agency Law Enforcement Communications System or SALECS. SALECS enables dispatchers to communicate with and dispatch calls to:
Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation
Wyoming Game and Fish Department
Wyoming Outfitter Board
Wyoming Livestock Agents
U.S. Bureau of Land Management Law Enforcement
U.S. Forest Service Rangers
State Brand Inspectors
