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!
