Wyoming law enforcement agencies are now required to collect more information and better collaborate across jurisdictions on cases involving missing or murdered Native Americans. Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed a bill on March 9, 2020, that will also help the state's two Tribes implement their own AMBER Alert systems.
The legislation requires Wyoming law enforcement to include biographical information on reports to give the state better data on the number of missing and murdered Indigenous people.
"For the Eastern Shoshone and the Northern Arapaho, we all have our stories," said Wyoming Legislative Representative Andi Clifford, an enrolled member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe. "This is a step in the right direction."
