Good morning, Casper.

Casper police posted a reminder that pedestrians must use designated crosswalks and wear reflective clothing while drivers slow down and yield to walkers—state laws allow citations for unsafe practices and help prevent accidents.

Casper Police Department, Natrona County Sheriff's Office, Wyoming Highway Patrol, Evansville and Mills Police Departments are hosting the 2025 Shop With a Cop event at Walmart locations in Casper on December 6 and 7—families with children aged 3 to 12 can apply by October 15 and will be notified on October 27 if selected.

Casper police have urged pedestrians to use crosswalks and drivers to slow down following safety concerns that once led to three fatalities in five days in 2019.

The reminder comes after reports of children crossing in the middle of the street, and officials warn that both pedestrians & drivers may be fined for unsafe practices.

Casper residents are urged to follow simple safety rules as children have been seen walking in the middle of the road and accidents have occurred before.

The Casper Police Department reminds pedestrians to use crosswalks and drivers to slow down—steps that can help avoid more accidents.

Natrona County School District 1 clarified its stance today on student-led Club America chapters at Kelly Walsh and Natrona County high schools.
