The Wentzville Police Department recently partnered with the City of Wentzville Public Works Department to install three new school zone safety speed limit signs as part of a roadway safety grant funded by the St. Louis Coalition for Roadway Safety.
These new signs include flashing beacons, high-visibility warning signs and digital radar speed displays designed to enhance safety for school-aged children, parents and community members during critical school hours. Their purpose is to reduce vehicle speeds, increase driver awareness and create a safer environment in school zones.
Two of the signs were installed in the North Point school zone and one was installed in the Journey Elementary school zone. This project is a great example of collaboration focused on community safety. We plan to continue pursuing additional grant funding with the goal of equipping every school zone in Wentzville with these safety enhancements.

Have definitely been able to tell a difference taking my kid to north point
As the parent of a North Point student, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I SO appreciate this flashing school zone sign that will hopefully slow people down!!!

From a parent with kids at Journey Elementary (and someone who lives off Interstate Dr) THANK YOU! Speeding has been an issue by the school since Interstate Drive was expanded! I have also appreciated the extra patrolling efforts the past few months in that area.
These are great! We really need sidewalks by these schools on North Point (and down to the subdivisions where kids walk to school). They currently end right before the middle school.
Why is the 35mph speed limit sign before the school speed limit sign? Seems like it should be posted after the NP entrance- where school zone ends. I understand the speed limit is 35 when school is not in session, etc. 35 sign is so close to the other sign, I could see people not paying attention to school zone. Hopefully the flashing lights help!
David Jester
Thank you!
Wish people would abide by the school limits-someone flew by me by journey just the other day. Wish the police would monitor them better.
Where is the one for Holt high? Drag racing up and down north view should be a priority. Although. Never any police presence. Running stop signs constantly, racing constantly. Not too mention all the destructive mini bikes coming off Michael Avenue all hours of the night and day. Racing. And just being reckless.
I'm wondering why it took a grant. Shouldn't those have been a part of the construction costs. But, not sure blinking lights are going to work as one would have to be blind (and not driving) to not realize you're in a school zone. The new Early Child building is huge and taking up the whole corner of N Point and W Meyer.

I used to work at the Burlington in St Peters and people would constantly load up the carts not realizing that they locked at the door you know so it was kind of funny to watch somebody thinking they're slick get rammed in the ribs by the cart that locks at the door LOL I'll never forget the one time our security guy knew of a woman that was carrying around one of those little red handheld deals with the wheels on the bottom, and he knew she was about to steal because they all follow a similar pattern, they grab the name brands they're not looking at them, you know what I mean? They're not holding them up to themselves or not seeing if they would fit they just see Nike or whatever and just throw it in the cart, and that girl goes to bolt for the door with security standing right there and he punt kicks that basket straight out of her hand 🤣🤣🤣
Last seen driving off in a 2026 Ferrari F80
Naw, those coats will be at an underground flea market or on FB Marketplace by tonite
Usual suspects every time
The usual suspects.
Couple grinches
They are senior citizens…ever stop to think they maybe needed those coats?
I'd start with looking in hidden valley apartments
No they dont look that old and there are free coats and resale shops everywhere if that were the case. They are stealing gifts for Christmas and leaving in a Ferrari another post said. There can't be that many of those cars registered some leg work they can look at DMV pictures for an image match can't they? Did the car have a plate there are tons more cameras especially the stop light cameras they had to pass. They have a short timeframe only to review. Too bad they don't have locking doors triggered by the cart like other stores. Wentzville Missouri Police Department
Everyone in Wentzville thought they moved far enough west. Guess not.
I think these two look familar, from last year?!
roaches
Tbh I didn’t even know we had a burlington in wentzville lol
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their child-rearing practices and skills mixed with their unparalleled work ethic are second to none. Their rationale and logical thought toward circumstances coupled with their innate capability to de-escalate situations is to be envied and coveted. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African-Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement, hard work and a self-reliant nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
Well that didn't take long
So surprising
Thou shall not steal
Who’s telling? 😂
Stealing bothers me because it means higher prices for the rest of us and/or stores closing and I like to go to stores to shop rather than having to go on line for everything. The thieves ruin it for the rest of us.
Why am I not shocked by this pic lol?
Stealing Christmas gifts. That’s the spirit 🤦♂️
I don't see anything
I mean….. It’s a Burlington….can anyone truly say they’re surprised? 🤷🏻♂️
I didn't see nothing and you ain't paying.
🤦🏾♂️

On Friday, Dec. 19 we had "Round 3" for the Wentzville Police Department Blue Line Family, Inc. holiday community outreach program. Several officers helped with "Shop with a Cop" sponsored by the WPD Blue Line Family and the Wentzville Walmart. We partnered with Helping Hands to bring holiday cheer to three local families and 11 children. We hope this helps make their holiday season a little brighter and full of joy.
Thanks again to everyone that has participated in any way to a WPD Blue Line Family event this year to help make these donations possible.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and thanks again for all the support.
