Private Investigators in Wyoming by City

Licensing

How Wyoming Licenses Private Investigators

Wyoming has no statewide licensing program for private investigators. The Division of Criminal Investigation says so in its private investigator FAQ, and adds that some municipalities may regulate investigators through city ordinances. Cheyenne is one example, where detective and guard businesses have been tied to city licensing and bonding. Delator Group is a licensed Tennessee private investigation firm, and it holds its Wyoming casework to Tennessee's licensing standard even though Wyoming does not require one.

Without a state license to look up, a client has to vet the firm directly. Check that the business is registered and in good standing, ask for proof of liability insurance and for references from attorneys or past clients, and insist on a written engagement that sets out scope and price before any work starts. If the work will happen inside a city such as Cheyenne, ask whether a local license or bond applies.

Courts

How Wyoming Courts Are Organized

Wyoming's general trial courts are the district courts. There is one in each of the 23 counties, grouped into nine judicial districts, and district court is held in each county seat. District courts hear felonies, larger civil cases, family law, juvenile and probate matters. Each county also has a circuit court that hears civil claims up to $50,000, small claims, misdemeanors and many protection order cases. A statewide Chancery Court, based in Casper, hears certain business and trust disputes without a jury.
