Attorney General Of Wyoming

Attorney General Of Wyoming, Division Of Victim Services, doing business as Attorney General, is a U.S. state government entity based in Cheyenne, Wyoming that acts as a federal grant recipient (93% of recent awards) for justice and victim services programs administered through the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The Attorney General of Wyoming's federal footprint is built entirely on formula grants and cooperative agreements — no federal contracts or IDVs. The organization receives recurring federal funding for victim compensation, criminal history record management, forensic laboratory operations, sex offender registry systems, family violence prevention services, and specialized law enforcement task forces. Recent prime grants include a $951,422 cooperative agreement from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (CFDA 16.554, National Criminal History Improvement Program) awarded July 1, 2026 to upgrade Wyoming's criminal records infrastructure with NIEM XML data format compliance and LiveScan equipment replacement across sheriff's offices and Department of Corrections facilities through June 30, 2029. The organization also received a $1.204 million State Medicaid Fraud Control Unit grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CFDA 93.775, October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026) to investigate and prosecute provider fraud and patient abuse in health facilities, and a $789,020 Family Violence Prevention and Services grant (CFDA 93.671, October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027) distributed statewide to county governments, law enforcement agencies, rape crisis centers, and nonprofit service providers including Safehouse Services and Women's Self Help Center.

Customer concentration is dominated by Department of Justice funding streams. The Bureau of Justice Assistance (42 awards), the parent Office of Justice Programs (50 awards), and the Office on Violence Against Women (31 awards) collectively anchor the portfolio, with Victims of Crime (22 awards) and the Administration for Children and Families (15 awards) forming the secondary tiers — these five customer streams represent 57% of all recent awards. The organization also manages federal grants for Wyoming's State Crime Laboratory (DNA analysis, forensic science improvement, toxicology expansion), the Division of Criminal Investigation (PREA compliance for county jails, multijurisdictional drug task forces, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force), and sex offender registration systems. Award volume has declined: 17 grants in 2022, 20 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 3 in 2026 year-to-date. Fourteen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal activity across victim services, criminal history improvement, and forensic operations grants.

The organization acts as a pass-through administrator on formula grants, sub-awarding to local county governments, Wyoming Department of Transportation for the 24/7 Sobriety Program, and nonprofit victim service providers. Recent sub-awards (7% of portfolio) include operational and administrative cost reimbursements for the Safe2Tell program, web intelligence platform and threat liaison office support, and DCI toxicology continuing education training. The Attorney General's operations span victim services administration, criminal investigation support, forensic laboratory oversight, and registry management across Wyoming statewide.
