In Wyoming: try Green River, Rock Springs, Casper, Gillette, and maybe Cheyenne.

Argh. it was up and running not too long ago. Sorry about that.

Montana varies right now.
City can negotiate their pay. I believe that Sheriff and Highway Patrol are both set by state law.
Right now a new sheriff's deputy will probably make between $34,000 and $40,000 / year after overtime.
HP is also about in that range.
City can be a bit lower or higher but not by much.

ETA: By varies, I mean that each jurisdiction pays differently. If I remember right the state law for the sheriff's department has to do with population size, then each deputy makes a certain percentage of what the sheriff does. Highway Patrol then makes the average of what the highest paid deputies in the top 7 (?) counties in the state make.
Cities can do pretty much whatever they want on the pay.
