🚨🚒A thank you to our fellow 1st Responders as we dealt with a late night at one of our ports!🚓🚨

Last night at the Evanston Port of Entry a driver alerted officers that their load was leaking from the trailer. After ensuring the safety of the drivers and other trucks, Port of Entry officers worked with the Uinta County Fire & Ambulance's Haz Mat unit.🚨

Firefighters were able to contain the leak and find its source. Once everything was secured, firefighters gave the all clear at 1130pm. There were no injuries or damage through this incident. A big thank you to the firefighters of Uinta County Fire & Ambulance and the Deputy from Unita County Sheriff's Office for their quick response.

This past week two Port of Entry Officers graduated to Special Officer after a week-long course. The Officers learned which Wyoming Statutes they are allowed to enforce, how to use the Wyoming Bond schedule and how to write a proper citation.
These new Special Officers will now go back to the Evanston Port of Entry to assist the Wyoming Highway Patrol with commercial vehicle enforcement.
This is a significant achievement that reflects their hard work, dedication, and commitment to professional growth. We are excited for you and look forward to what the future brings for both of you in the WHP. From left to right Special Officers Larson and Cornia.

A big thank you to Mrs. Sackett for sharing these two pieces of port history!

A little piece of Port history-

At the end of May, Dorla Sackett stopped by the Gillette Port of Entry to donate her late husband Ken Sackett’s Department of Revenue patch and supervisor badge. Mr. Sackett served as the supervisor for Campbell, Crook, and Weston counties after previously working as a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper. It is believed these items are from the era between the 1960's to 1980's. Mr. Sackett passed away in 2005. Mrs. Sackett stated that she thought the WHP might appreciate displaying his vintage badge and patch. The Wyoming Highway Patrol sincerely thanks Mrs. Sackett for these incredible items of hers, Ken's and our own history.

Professionals drivers set the standard we can all follow.

CMV drivers don’t just move freight and passengers—they set the safety standard on our roads. Every trip is an opportunity to lead by example. Stay focused, maintain a safe speed, buckle up, and drive distraction-free. Professional drivers can set the standard for road safety by always staying focused and alert, maintaining a safe speed, navigating work zones carefully, and buckling up every trip.

Give our professional drivers the room they need to drive safely.

Big trucks and buses have big blind spots and make wide turns. Knowing that could save your life. Safety starts with you on our road. Stay out of blind spots, never cut in front of a large truck or bus, and give them extra room to turn.
