Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws 

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has been providing Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) grant funds to the Wyoming Department of Health since 1998. Due to the law enforcement focus of these funds it was decided in 2006 to sub- contract to the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police (WASCOP) for the administration of these funds and to direct the efforts of the agencies that apply for these grant funds. WASCOP administers the grant funding to Wyoming communities through a granting process. Agency proposals are required to focus on OJJDP Best Practice Enforcement Strategies and to implement measures to sustain EUDL efforts in collaboration with their local prevention coalition efforts. WASCOP provides administrative services for the grant, technical assistance and training to grant recipients, and the collection, analysis and reporting of underage drinking arrest related data gathered by the grant recipients. EUDL data is reported to the public through a report published by WASCOP titled, “Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws: Alcohol and Youth Data – 2011” and “Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws: Trend Analysis – 2009 - 2011”. This data is used by agencies to direct their enforcement and prevention efforts, to educate public policy makers to effect positive public policy change, and promote healthy community norms. WASCOP also facilitates semi-annual meetings of all grant recipients to train, share strategies and new ideas, and refine practices and protocols.

Where can I get trained to respond to an overdose?

(Wyoming Department of Health) - Posted July 2021

Training first responders (firefighters, police officers, and EMTs) and bystanders (family, friends, and others) on recognizing and responding to an opioid overdose is essential. Anyone who uses heroin or opioid medication, especially those who have never used or have not used in a while, can be at risk of an overdose. Find out how you can save a life.

How can I get naloxone?

Naloxone is a prescription medication. However, a Wyoming law (Wyoming §§ 35-4-901 through 35-5-906) allows pharmacists to prescribe naloxone to individuals. Anyone can go to a local pharmacy and ask about obtaining naloxone.

First responders may apply to receive grant funding for Narcan® Nasal Spray, currently the only FDA-approved intranasal naloxone. Agencies must obtain a standing order (a prescription from a provider for a group, not an individual) to purchase naloxone. For more information on obtaining a standing order, contact a local medical provider.

To get Narcan® Nasal Spray for your agency or organization through the Wyoming Department of Health, complete the application form. Once your application has been reviewed and funding is available, you will be contacted for more information.
