Cheyenne Police Department

om eastern and foreign cattle barons. With this new wealth, Cheyenne developed fine hotels, theaters, and the first opera house west of the Mississippi. In the 1880s, Cheyenne was the wealthiest per capita city in the world. The state Capitol's dome was even covered in gold leaf. Folks came from all over to "Live the Legend" that Cheyenne was known for. The Cheyenne Police Department was created to protect residents and visitors alike. Cheyenne is still the hub of state government, progressive business and destination for those who wish to "Live the Legend" of the old west. Much like the earlier lawmen who gave their blood, sweat and tears to protect Cheyenne from the outlaws of yesterday, the professional women and men of today's Cheyenne Police Department continue to be leaders in public safety by fulfilling its mission of "Protecting the Legend" that Cheyenne is known for.
