DWI Saturation Patrols Planned in Wentzville

This week, and through the holiday season the Wentzville Police Department will conduct coordinated DWI saturation patrols.

The effort will involve extra grant funded officers on patrol and Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)—officers specially trained and certified to identify drivers impaired by drugs, not just alcohol.

How you can help:
Talk to your friends and loved ones about making safe choices. Always plan ahead for a sober ride. Use a rideshare service, designate a driver, or stay overnight if needed. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you see someone who may be impaired, speak up or help them find a safe option. Your actions could save a life, maybe even your own. Let’s all do our part to prevent impaired driving and make our communities safer.

Would be just as easy to park outside of GM parking lot and pull everyone over going into work🤣

Don't drink and drink. Use a car service or call a friend

Follow the weed smell from the car in front of you. I’m sure it’s for medical purposes!!

What do you do when you smell a vehicle full of skunks?......hold your nose and move on?🦨🫣🤔

"I dont discuss my day" and "I dont answer questions"

Not drinking and driving is the easiest thing to do. Not sure why that’s so hard for people.

Planned revenue generation night. Studies prove more misdemeanor tickets are written than drunk drivers caught

St Charles yellow cab 636-724-1234, be safe!

Thanks for doing this!

Harassment for all to catch a couple drunks and people driving without insurance. Stellar!

Wez low on money 💰 get out their

Time for the annual cash grab

Come sit down friendship brewery, Friday night, Saturday night watch people fly down the sidewalks at 70 miles an hour in a car or in the grass by the railroad track. You don’t never see no cops down there. That’s where they hang out when they’re off duty same with some of the other officials

Thank you

Year end cash for the city.That's BS.

Internal check points are unconstitutional… no victim no crime

The people that have a problem with DWI checkpoints must not care about their life or have children they care about. Why would anyone have an issue with keeping innocent people and children safe from drunk drivers.

Gm plaint employees would be the first place to stop dumbasses speeding and driving reckless

Ffs you people bitch when they aren’t out and bitch when they are smh

All of wentzville is a road construction zone so double fines apply. They are using the situation to write tickets, court cost and attorney fees. I will not come close to wentzville I won’t visit your businesses your corruption has no ends. Vote your mayor out of office.

meanwhile daily idiots are free to roam the roads becuase its not a good news story

Thank you officers and all your staff

Here’s a quick, objective read on how the Wentzville (MO) Police Department did in November, based on the numbers they chose to highlight: Positive signs • Very high volume of proactive work: 2,345 directed patrols + 659 traffic stops = over 3,000 officer-initiated contacts in a single month. That’s extremely active for a suburban department of Wentzville’s size (pop. ~47,000). It shows they’re out looking for problems rather than just reacting. • 121 arrests off a relatively modest number of serious calls (19 assaults, 6 drug violations) suggests they’re converting traffic stops and field contacts into solid enforcement actions. • Low Part-I crime numbers (27 thefts, 19 assaults, 0 homicides or robberies mentioned) for a city that size is good. It’s not a high-crime area to begin with, but nothing in the graphic jumps out as alarming. • 50 vacation checks and 12 community-policing events show they’re still doing the “small-town” feel-good stuff even while staying busy on enforcement. Neutral / context needed • 72 auto accidents is fairly typical for a growing suburb with a lot of commuter traffic and big-box retail corridors (Wentzville has I-70 and I-64 running nearby). • 17 mental-health calls in a month is moderate—neither unusually high nor suspiciously low. The one eyebrow-raiser • 121 arrests but only 19 assaults + 6 drug violations listed. That means the vast majority of arrests came from traffic stops, warrants, or minor offenses. That’s not inherently bad (many departments run a similar model), but it does mean they’re very enforcement-oriented rather than purely “service”-oriented. Overall verdict They ran a very active, proactive month.**�They’re clearly emphasizing traffic enforcement and self-initiated activity, keeping serious crime low, and still squeezing in some community touchy-feely stuff. Whether you think that’s “great police work” or “over-policing” largely depends on your personal view of traffic-stop-heavy policing, but by their own metrics and for a department their size, these are strong, busy numbers. In short: From a traditional law-enforcement perspective, they had a solid month.

Now is that for the Month ?

Happy Friday Wentzville!

Here are all the calls we responded to over the last week. Be safe and have a great weekend!
