The City of Wentzville wants everyone to have a happy and safe Halloween this year. Here are a few safety tips to follow to stay "safe and seen" this Halloween.
- Carry glow sticks or flashlights, and use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags to help kids be seen by drivers.
- Children under age 12 should be accompanied by an adult at all times.
- Slow down and be alert while driving! Turn on your headlights early in the evening so you can spot kids from further away.
- Remind kids to cross the street at corners or in crosswalks and to never step in front of oncoming traffic.
- Choose face paint over costume masks; masks can limit a child's vision. ... See MoreSee Less

Honoring the Memory of Two Wentzville Police Officers
This week, we pause to remember and honor the lives and service of two Wentzville Police Department officers who passed away in the same week 19 years ago — Officer Sam Vitale and Officer Linus Kersting.
Officer Vitale, DSN 227, was a three year veteran of our department known for his compassion, sense of humor and dedication to helping others. He tragically lost his life in an off-duty vehicle accident on Oct 30. 2006. Sam’s unforgettable smile and positive spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Officer Kersting, DSN 314, served the Wentzville community with distinction from 1975 to 1986 and again from 1987 until his passing on Oct 31. 2006, following his courageous battle with cancer. Throughout his career, he served as a patrolman, corporal, detective and school resource officer. Linus was known for his easy going nature, love of fast cars and genuine kindness.
Both men dedicated their lives to serving our community and continue to be remembered for their professionalism, friendship and commitment to public service. Their legacies live on through the impact they made on this department and the City of Wentzville.
We will never forget.

I had Sam as a 3rd grade student at East Elementary (now Heritage). He was funny and kind to all. I saw him later in his life as a policeman when I went to check on a school bus from the middle school. He was on the scene and we were excited to see each other again. I was just so proud of him that day! I worked with Linus when I became an assistant principal at Elementary East. He was so helpful and kind to students and staff. I’m so thankful you are honoring these courageous men in his way!
So happy to see the department still honoring my dad!❤️ He loved the Wentzville community so much, and enjoyed his work as an SRO more than anything. We will never forget how to Wentzville PD family rallied around us during dad’s battle! Thank you all!
Thank you for remembering our Sammy, we all still miss him soooo much, Tony Vitale, Liv Vitale. The 30th will haunt me the rest of my life with "what if's" and how or what could I have done that would have changed the course of that awful day. He loved working for Wentzville and the department and was honored to be a police officer.💙
