🚔😂 **BREAKING NEWS FROM LPD: THE ZOOM MEETING THAT WASN’T!**

You know it’s going to be a good day when you walk up to the Chief’s office and see a sign that says, *“IN A ZOOM MEETING.”* 👀💻

Well, the Captain and Support Services Coordinator decided the office needed a little clarification… so naturally, they posted their own signs:

🚫 **NOT IN A ZOOM MEETING.** 😂

Because apparently, at Lander PD, even the office doors need a little friendly reminder that not everyone is on a video call!

We’ll keep you posted if the signs start having meetings of their own. 🤣🚔

🚔 Proof of Insurance Reminder – Lander Police Department 🚔

Did you know that Wyoming law requires drivers to provide proof of motor vehicle liability insurance upon demand by a law enforcement officer?

Under Wyoming Statute 31-4-103, officers may request proof of insurance during a traffic stop, while issuing a citation, or during a vehicle inspection. Proof of insurance can be provided in either of the following forms:

✅ Physical insurance card
✅ Digital proof of insurance displayed on a smartphone or other electronic device

The Lander Police Department takes this initiative seriously because uninsured vehicles can create significant financial hardships for everyone involved in a crash.

A violation of Wyoming's compulsory insurance law may result in a citation. A first offense can carry a total penalty of up to $570.00, and additional penalties may apply for subsequent violations.

For those interested in reviewing the statute, you can find it here:

Wyoming Statute 31-4-103 – Failure to Maintain Liability Coverage

Thank you for helping keep Lander's roads safe. Before heading out, take a moment to make sure your insurance is current and that you can quickly access proof of coverage if requested.
