Statement from Converse County Sheriff Clint Becker
To the dedicated men and women of the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office, the Wyoming Highway Patrol, and the citizens of Baggs:
On Monday, your deputies responded to an active shooting with exceptional courage. After one of your own was shot responding to the call, law enforcement from the around the County pursued the suspect, who had also set fire to an apartment building, showing outstanding professionalism and resolve. They stopped the threat on Highway 789, protecting the community. We also commend the Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper who came under fire and continued his duties.
We are deeply inspired by the brave residents of Baggs who rushed in to provide life-saving aid and cover the injured deputy. Your actions reflect the strong community spirit that defines Wyoming.
The Converse County Sheriff’s Office stands with you in admiration of your bravery, coordination, and unwavering commitment to public safety. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured deputy, his family, and all who responded.
Thank you for your courage, service, and commitment to protecting the people of our great state.
Sheriff Clint Becker Converse County Sheriff’s Office

It is with respect and sincere emotion that I remind everyone that the week of Sunday, May 10th through Saturday, May 16th, is National Police Week—a time when we truly pause to honor the brave souls who have laid down their lives in the line of duty, all in the name of our safety and protection. This week holds an especially deep meaning for us here in Converse County. We carry the weight of local heroes we have lost—men who answered the call of duty with unwavering courage. Wyoming Trooper Chris Logsdon, who made the ultimate sacrifice on October 13th, 1998, and Converse County Deputy Bryan Gross, who gave his life on July 28th, 2011. These incredible men were not just officers—they were our neighbors, our friends, and cherished members of our community. They left behind loved ones—wives, children, families—who carry their memory with enduring love and pride. We stand here today, honored beyond words, to pay tribute to their sacrifice and the enduring legacy they leave behind.

I have had the privilege of serving as a Peace Officer here in Converse County and across Wyoming since 1986. Over the decades, I have witnessed the outpouring of genuine support from our community—a support that fuels our mission, especially during our darkest hours. The kindness, encouragement, and unyielding solidarity from individuals and local businesses have touched our hearts deeply. During times of tragedy and sorrow, the simple acts of kindness—meals, snacks, words of hope—become powerful symbols of unity and love. Your compassion, in every form, is a lifeline—a reminder that we are never alone in our commitment to serve and protect.

This week, I ask you from the depths of my heart—please say a prayer, share a kind word, and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us honor their memory by spreading kindness and compassion, standing together in gratitude for their sacrifice. Thank you for your unwavering support, for standing with us as we continue our mission to keep you and your loved ones safe.

In the United States, more than 24,700 brave officers have made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down their lives in the line of duty—heroes whose courage and dedication forever echo in our nation's heart. This year, as we come together during National Law Enforcement Week, we will honor and remember 111 fallen officers from 2025 in a poignant memorial in Washington D.C. Their selfless sacrifices serve as a powerful reminder of the unwavering bravery that defends our freedoms and keeps our communities safe. Let us never forget the valor and sacrifice of these extraordinary men and women who laid everything on the line for us all.

With respect and heartfelt gratitude,
Sheriff Clint Becker

- The Wyoming Law Enforcement Memorial will be held Friday, May 15th at 11am, at the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy. Everyone is welcome.

Deputies Johnson and Florence attended Adulting Day in Glenrock at the Boys & Girls Club, where they had the opportunity to spend time with the Class of 2026 seniors.
It was a great experience connecting with these young men and women as they prepare to enter the workforce and take on the responsibilities of adulthood. Events like this are a valuable way to build positive relationships and support our youth as they move into the next stage of their lives. We are grateful to be part of this community and proud to support the next generation.

“BLUE ENVELOPE” PROGRAM LAUNCHED New Voluntary Tool Helps First Responders Provide Calm, Respectful Service to Individuals with Disabilities or Special Needs
DOUGLAS, Wyo. — The Converse County Sheriff’s Office today announced the launch of the Blue Envelope program — a simple, free, and completely voluntary initiative created to make traffic stops, emergencies, and other first-responder contacts safer and more positive for individuals with autism, seizure disorders, hearing or vision impairments, diabetes, Tourette syndrome, or other special considerations.
The bright blue envelope is designed for residents to keep in their vehicle. Inside, they place copies only of:
Driver’s License
Vehicle Registration
Insurance card

When a deputy, firefighter, or EMT approaches, the individual simply hands over the envelope. Printed right on it are clear, easy-to-follow instructions that help first responders immediately recognize the situation and respond appropriately.
Front of the Envelope Instructions to First Responders (Deputy, Firefighter, EMT):
Speak calmly and relaxed
Speak in a lower volume
Avoid shouting/loud noises
Approach slowly
Do not touch
Turn off bright lights

Tips for the Citizen Do: Hand the officer your blue envelope • Take a deep breath and listen to questions • Keep your hands visible
Don’t: Reach for things without permission • Leave without permission

Back of the Envelope “This person may…” • Resist help • Be unaware of danger • Be non-verbal • Need additional time to respond • Not respond to verbal commands • Wander if unattended • Appear anxious due to lights/noises
Space is provided to write:
Your name
Emergency contact name and phone number
Specific notes about your needs
Checkboxes allow quick identification of common conditions: Deaf or hard of hearing, Autistic, Limited vision, Tourette Syndrome, Seizure Disorder, Diabetic, Medical Alert, Needs Interpreter, or Other.

Critical Facts About the Program:
100% voluntary — No one is required to participate.
The Sheriff’s Office does not keep any database or record of the information inside the envelopes.
Privacy and personal choice are fully protected.
“Every interaction with law enforcement should be safe and dignified,” said Sheriff’s Clint Becker. “The Blue Envelope gives community members a quiet, effective way to share exactly what they need in moments that can feel stressful — and it helps our deputies do their job even better.”

How to Get Your Free Blue Envelope Stop by the Converse County Sheriff’s Office or call the non-emergency line at (307) 358-4700, or talk with any Deputy. Envelopes are available now at no cost to Converse County residents.
