Join us in celebrating School Resource Officer Princivalli, this year’s recipient of the Officer Recognition Award from the Optimist Club!

Officer Princivalli has served as a dedicated police officer for over 20 years, with the past 6 years as a School Resource Officer (SRO) for the Wentzville Police Department. His commitment to student safety, education and mentorship has left a lasting impact. Particularly at the elementary level, where he spent four years teaching the S.T.A.R.T. program to local 5th grade students. Beyond the classroom, Officer Princivalli has been a mentor and instructor for students in grades 3 through 5 at Cop Camp, a summer program that strengthens relationships between law enforcement and youth.

Since the inception of the S.T.A.R.T. program in 2022, Officer Princivalli has played an instrumental role in shaping and enhancing its curriculum, ensuring it remains effective, engaging and meaningful. Even after transitioning to his new assignment as the SRO at Wentzville South Middle School, where he now works with students in grades 6 through 8, he continues to demonstrate exceptional dedication. Despite a shortage of instructors, he selflessly volunteered to continue teaching the S.T.A.R.T. program for the 2025-2026 school year which is a testament to his unwavering commitment to our students.

Officer Tim Princivalli exemplifies the spirit of service, leadership and mentorship. He is a true asset to the Wentzville community and is most deserving of this honor. 
Congratulations, Officer Princivalli!

That is awesome!

Yesterday, Sept. 15 we had a great time connecting with local students at a Touch a Truck event. Students had the opportunity to explore a Wentzville Police department vehicle and learn about the tools we use to keep the community safe. We also talked about important safety topics including the proper use of 911 and when to call for help. Events like these give students hands-on experience with public safety and help build positive relationships with law enforcement from a young age.
