CHEYENNE, WY — The Cheyenne Police Department released its Frontier Week crime data Thursday, showing lower totals for calls for service, arrests and summons or citations than during the same stretch in 2025. The 10-day review covered July 17 through July 26, 2026, and compared those figures with last year’s Frontier Week. Police said officers handled 2,340 calls for service during the period. The department also recorded 44 arrests and 84 summons or citations.
Calls and Arrests Down
According to the department, calls for service fell by 1.8% from the 2025 total of 2,382. Arrests also dropped, with 20 fewer made this year than in the previous Frontier Week period. The release does not break down every call by type, but it presents the overall numbers as a citywide comparison of activity during the annual event. The report is intended to show how police workloads changed during one of Cheyenne’s busiest summer weeks.
Most Common Charges
Police also listed the primary charges connected to arrests during the 10-day period. The breakdown included 18 arrests for active warrants, six for public intoxication and five for domestic violence. Officers also made three arrests each for aggravated assault and interference or resisting, along with two arrests for simple assault. The department’s summary noted that the figures reflect only the main charge tied to each arrest, even though some cases may include additional secondary charges.
Other Arrest Report Entries
Additional arrest categories included two NCIC hits, which generally indicate a law-enforcement database match, and one arrest each for criminal trespass, noise disturbance, robbery, indecent exposure and a stolen vehicle. The department’s release groups these items as highlights from the arrest reports rather than a full case-by-case narrative. The data provides a snapshot of the kinds of incidents police encountered during Frontier Week, when the city typically sees heavier activity tied to the annual rodeo and celebration.
What The Data Shows
Cheyenne Frontier Days continues to generate a large volume of police work, even in a year when the numbers moved slightly lower than 2025. The department’s report offers a limited but useful measure of public-safety activity during the event, including calls handled, arrests made and citations issued. By comparing this year’s totals with last year’s, the release gives residents a straightforward look at how enforcement activity changed during the 2026 Frontier Week period. The department did not indicate any broader trend beyond the numbers in its summary.
