Employee of the Month – Officer Niemann

A Wentzville resident recently took time to recognize Officer Niemann for a simple but powerful act of community policing. While patrolling, Officer Niemann stopped to support two young boys running a lemonade stand. The resident who witnessed the interaction shared that they first thought the officer might shut down the stand but was happy to see him stop and support them. It reminded the resident of their own small-town upbringing and was moved by the positive example it set. What could have been mistaken as enforcement was instead a moment of encouragement and kindness.

We appreciate Officer Niemann’s continued dedication to building trust and meaningful relationships with our youth and residents. Well done!

Professional Support Staff Employees of the Month – Dispatchers Morgan and ODonnell

We’re proud to recognize Dispatcher Morgan and ODonnell for their exceptional teamwork and professionalism during a recent critical incident involving a barricaded subject in crisis.

Amid heavy radio traffic, 911 calls and multiple moving parts, these dispatchers coordinated seamlessly with several agencies including Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Charles County Regional SWAT Team, Negotiators, Lake St. Louis PD, O’Fallon PD and the Metro Air Support Unit. They managed communication between officers on scene, contacted nearby businesses and worked with cell phone providers to help locate the subject—all while remaining calm, organized and efficient.

Their dedication and steady leadership behind the scenes make a direct impact on officer safety and assisting complex incidents. We’re proud to have them on our team.

Hey I hade one of them traffic stops 😭

Why are you posting my GTA stats? 😎

"Stealings" lol

102 new families? Wow!

Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Is there a comparison from 5 years ago or 10 years ago for crime? Keep up the great work!

Only 29 drug violations? Come on. we're approaching Jeff co with drug activity, if you could y tell when the rental car was used to steal a car in the schnucks parking lot. This isn't chicago.i.am a."peer" for jury duty if you have a valid driver's license where I live.

102 new families in one month. Uncontrolled growth. That's why I moved out. That's why the parkway is always a mess. That's why other crimes called out here are going up.

Almost 1000 traffic stops a month is crazy for where we live🤣

The stealings number is wrong. Everytime someone is ticketed for a menial traffic offense, that is stealing from the people. 11 is way too low
