About Evansville Police Department
The Evansville Police Department covers the Town of Evansville, about 3,000 people with a lot of industrial ground, right on the edge of Casper in Natrona County, Wyoming. Because it borders Casper, with Interstate 25 and an international airport nearby and a region of more than 80,000 people, it's busier than a typical small town agency, running roughly 400 calls a month in slow months and up to 600 in summer. Even so, officers usually aren't running call to call and have time to patrol and get to know residents.
It's a 24 hour agency with about a dozen officers, a chief, sergeants and a community service and animal control officer. Officers work 12 hour shifts on a four on, four off, three on, three off rotation, with every other weekend worked. Being small means officers often see cases through from start to finish, work with several other agencies and can be selected for the Special Response Team run by the Natrona County Sheriff's Office.
Pay follows a 10 year step plan starting at $29.53 an hour with no experience, and laterals get one year of credit for every two years of service. There's extra pay for some instructor qualifications, college education and living in town. Officers living within 25 miles get a take-home vehicle, the town pays 100% of employee health insurance, and it pays the full cost of Wyoming state retirement.
