Currently, there are only three towns within Washakie County, Ten Sleep, Winchester and Worland. Worland is the county Seat. Law enforcement in Washakie County consists of the Worland Police Department and Washakie County Sheriff's Department. Both are housed in the Law Enforcement Center in downtown Worland.

Both of these departments work closely together to coordinate efforts on juvenile crime enforcement. Recently a zero tolerance policy on the use of drugs and alcohol by juveniles has been put into force. to further increase protection of youth from the affects of alcohol, all law enforcement vehicles are currently equipped with alcohol sensors.

Both the Sheriff's and Police Departments are actively involved in a Community Safety Day in the spring, Substance Abuse Education Week, Bicycle Safety Week and Bike rodeo, and safety city to prepare young students for school.

Some of those experiences are humorous, some are tragic. All are real. Education is the best assurance that future generations will succeed. In this biographical self-help book, Marty explains, through his own experiences, how to help keep your children off drugs and what signs to look for that indicate your child may be heading down the wrong road.
