WST is a Wyoming State not-for-profit association. Its mission is to provide trained trackers to respond to visual tracking searches requested by any official agency, goverment or individual, and to provide educational programs to the public regarding visual tracking 

We are professionally trained and certified trackers dedicated to improving the way lost person searches are conducted.  We accomplish this by utilizing the most abundant amount of clues available to a searcher, tracks or sign that are generated by the passage of a person.

Our certification levels meet the criteria and the methodology of the U.S. Court System

Wyoming State Trackers is also dedicated to providing education to groups and individuals who want to know more about basic tracking and the benefits of using trackers who are certified by JHPTS.
