The Natrona County Sheriff's Office has acknowledged that January is National Stalking Awareness Month, and throughout the month they will be offering information on how to recognize and report stalking.
While Casper Fire Station 3 has a safe room for people who are trying to get away from incidents of domestic violence, some people in the community may be unaware it exists.
33.9% of women in Wyoming and 30.5% of men in Wyoming experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking in their lifetimes.
Around 1,000 people in Wyoming were arrested in 2018 on suspicion of assaulting a household member.
Keep in mind that these are the incidents that were reported...no one can truly know how many Wyoming families are being torn apart by the terror of domestic violence each and every day...
