My condolences to the family and thank you for your service mr.Shine
On Tuesday, April 21 we hosted week 3 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.
This week’s session featured presentations from the 911 Communications Center, the School Resource Officer (SRO) Unit and a special visit from the Metro Air Unit.
We began with the Metro Air Support Unit which is an awesome unit that provides a great service to the region. Metro Air Support is a regional unit that serves St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County to assist officers on the ground with air support. Then, 911 Communications Center who operates 24/7, serving as a vital link between the community and emergency services. Dispatchers answer 911 calls, handle non-emergency requests, and coordinate officer response to incidents. They manage incoming reports of criminal activity, civil complaints, and suspicious behavior, while also entering warrants and stolen property into the statewide system. Their work ensures officers have accurate and timely information to respond quickly and safely. We finished with Officer Horvath and Officer Princivalli from our School Resource Officer (SRO) Unit. They shared how our nine SROs patrol our schools daily, ensure student safety and build strong, positive relationships with students and staff. Officer Horvath discussed the Explorer program and Officer Princivalli introduced participants to the S.T.A.R.T. Program (Substance, Tobacco, Alcohol Resistance Training), our youth drug prevention and awareness initiative.
Thank you to everyone who attended to continue learning more about the Wentzville Police Department. We’re looking forward to Week 4!

On Thursday afternoon, April 16 we congratulated the last group of second semester graduates of the WPD S.T.A.R.T. program by students from Wabash Elementary School.
Substance Tobacco Alcohol Resistance Training (S.T.A.R.T.) is a comprehensive and adaptable substance abuse prevention curriculum for fifth-grade students. Over nine classes, students learn about critical issues facing youth today, such as tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, bullying and cyberbullying, peer pressure, and citizenship. School Resource Officers lead all classes, utilizing a combination of instructional strategies for student engagement, including interactive learning, lectures, writing prompts, group exercises, and peer-led discussions. Each lesson is focused on helping students understand positive and negative decision-making and providing them with the tools necessary to confidentially express the program’s motto:
“Start by saying NO!”
