RPD: SCAMS & FAKE NEWS

 SCAMS & FAKE NEWS - The Riverton Police Department is aware of several social media postings showing some fake news in town as well as news which has affected our community.

We will clarify some of the most recent postings that we are aware of:

"Breaking News - Body Cam" CLICK-HERE TO WATCH POLICE VIDEO - Some of our postings have had a "Police Video" or some link to "CLICK ON". This is a link which can compromise your Facebook passwords if you click on it. The Police Department would NOT post any videos on our social media.

ICE RAIDS in Riverton - Recent national news regarding border policies has stirred up concerns locally. To clarify, the Riverton Police Department has NOT been working with ICE. Facebook rumors of local officers checking migrant status of children walking to school is false. Our officers will only verify identity of people suspected of violating state and local laws (Shoplifting, Domestic Violence, drunk-driving, speeding etc).

POLICE SEARCHING FOR MURDER SUSPECTS - A Facebook posting of officers searching for a couple suspected of knocking on doors and murdering people in Riverton Wyoming is false. There are no such incidents occurring.

POLICE SEARCHING for parents of a toddler walking the streets in Riverton. We do not have a child in our custody who was reported to be wearing a diaper and found walking the streets. There have been several Facebook postings depicting two officers in a uniform and holding a child. These are not Riverton Officers and many police agencies have had their departments named in these fake picture/news.

TOLL ROAD violations - Many people have received a TEXT message saying they needing to send money for violating one of our local toll roads. There are no TOLL ROADS in Riverton and this is also a SCAM to get your money. Real TOLL ROAD violations are required to send the registered owner a photograph of the toll-road violator along with the bridge/toll way which the vehicle allegedly crossed without paying. Unless you have your cell phone number on your front windshield, the toll-roads would NOT have your cell number. Unfortunately some people do a lot of traveling and end up paying the scammer with an on-line banking app without checking into the violation.

Official Postings will be on our Facebook Page or TextMyGov app.

Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming Kickoff 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Season

BILLINGS, MT— Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming will kick off their 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season on January 31, 2025, a time when Girl Scouts everywhere hone their entrepreneurial skills as they find new and inventive ways to sell cookies, unboxing brighter futures for themselves. With the much-anticipated cookie season back in full swing, cookie lovers can rejoice as they indulge in the classic cookie line-up.
 
The 2025 cookie lineup is jam-packed with the full spread of highly sought-after cookie flavors, including Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, and Peanut Butter Patties®. Consumers can also enjoy Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Trefoils, Adventurefuls, Lemonades, Toast-Yay!®, and gluten and allergen-free Caramel Chocolate Chip. At the close of the 2025 Cookie Season, the beloved cookie flavor, Toast-yay!® will be retired. Toast-yay!® enthusiasts can get their hands on the last of these favorite sweet treats by reaching out to a Girl Scout they know.

Girl Scout Cookies will sell for $6 per package with the exception of the gluten and allergen free Caramel Chocolate Chip, which will sell for $7 per package.

When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, they acquire a host of invaluable entrepreneurial skills, including goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills, and business ethics. Each package of cookies sold allows Girl Scouts to develop an inextinguishable entrepreneurial spirit, gaining courage, confidence, and character as they conquer new feats and embark on new adventures. Girl Scouts obtain transferable life skills as they earn a variety of badges and awards, including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pins, and Entrepreneur badges.
 
This season, Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming calls on community members to purchase their favorite cookies—and support the girls behind each box. All proceeds from cookie sales stay local to fuel inspiring experiences throughout the year including camp, amazing trips, service projects and much more.

How to Purchase Girl Scout Cookies This Year
·       Girl Scouts will take pre-orders January 31 – February 16, with delivery in late March. If you don’t know a local Girl Scout, use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder to purchase cookies.

• Beginning February 21, customers who do not already know a Girl Scout will also be able to purchase cookies to be shipped directly to their homes by entering their zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder. This link can also be used to find a local booth, purchase cookies, and/or to donate cookies for local community causes.

• Cookies can be purchased at local Cookie Booths March 21 – April 13.

• You can also text COOKIES to 59618 to stay informed about how to purchase Girl Scout Cookies and other exciting Girl Scout news. Learn more about the Terms and Conditions and the SMS Privacy Policy.

For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts and their enthusiastic supporters have helped ensure the success of the iconic annual cookie program—and they’ve had fun, developed valuable life skills and made their communities a better place every step of the way.

Inspired by a true story, “Bright Star” weaves a poignant tale of love and redemption against the vibrant backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 1940s.
When literary editor Alice Murphy encounters a young soldier returning home from World War II, their meeting reignites her yearning for the child she once lost. Bound by an inexplicable connection, Alice embarks on a soul-stirring quest to unravel her past, discovering revelations that have the potential to transform their lives forever.
With enchanting melodies and deeply compelling characters, “Bright Star” unfolds as a rich tapestry of profound emotion, drawing audiences into its spellbinding narrative. This uplifting theatrical experience embraces you with its authenticity and emboldens you with its unwavering hopefulness.
If you are interested in participating in this production please come and audition. Bring a song in the style of the show (Bluegrass or Classic Country) or a song from the Golden Age of Broadway 1943 Oklahoma -1964 Hello Dolly.
Your audition song should be a verse and a chorus of the song you are singing. You may be asked to read from the script or sing from the score so be very familiar with Bright Star and the original cast recording from 2016.
If you are unable to attend auditions in person but still want to participate please call or email Joey West:
Office Phone: 307 855 2217
