Law enforcement agencies across southern Wyoming were busy on Saturday November 12th — the date of the Border War.

This year’s rivalry football game between Wyoming and CSU was played in Fort Collins. As promised, police had extra patrols in place to enforce impaired driving laws.

According to a release out Tuesday from the Wyoming Highway Patrol, law enforcement agencies in Laramie and Albany counties made 108 traffic stops, arrested three impaired drivers, and made one arrest for controlled substances on Border War Saturday.

Since 2015, law enforcement in Wyoming and Colorado have teamed up as part of a multi-state impaired driving enforcement operation. For the 114th Border War game, traffic enforcement was concentrated on U.S. Hwy 287, Interstate 25, and Interstate 80, to and from the game in Fort Collins.

Wyoming law enforcement in Laramie and Albany counties also issued 25 speeding citations, three seatbelt citations, 40 other citations, and issued 54 warnings.

2022 has been a deadly year on Wyoming highways. WHP reports that so far this year, 121 fatalities have occurred on state roads compared to 107 a year ago at this time.
