Yesterday, Friday, Feb. 27 after more than 27 years of dedicated service to the Wentzville community, Officer vanBreusegen retired from the Wentzville Police Department.
Officer vanBreusegen began her career in 1998 as a Park Ranger before becoming a Patrol Officer in 2000. In 2004, she transitioned to serve as our D.A.R.E. Instructor and Public Relations Officer. She later returned to patrol before becoming a School Resource Officer in 2013. In 2021, she transferred to the Detective Bureau and in 2022, she returned to serve as a School Resource Officer, a role she has proudly held until her retirement.
Throughout her career, Officer vanBreusegen received numerous recognitions, including City of Wentzville Employee of the Year (2005), Officer of the Year from the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (2016), the Outstanding Service Award from the Great Rivers Crisis Intervention Team, multiple Kudos Awards, Certificates of Recognition and three Chief’s Commendations. She also served on the committee responsible for redesigning the Wentzville Police Department patch and badge worn today.
While she served in many roles, her passion always centered on service, especially helping children in difficult circumstances. Whether on patrol, as a School Resource Officer or as a detective, she helped countless young people in our community find safety and support.
Officer vanBreusegen served this department and community with passion, professionalism and unwavering dedication. We thank her for 27 years of commitment to the safety and security of Wentzville and wish her the very best in retirement.

This was super fun. I wish I could do it again.
If I graduate from this program can I make citizen arrests?
Great job officers 👏. Be safe and thanks for all you do- speeders be speeders - until they're caught.
I want to learn why you steal money from your citizens through ticketing of menial traffic offences instead of doing the job you signed up to do. Protect and serve. 10-15 over protects no one but the tickets serve the city wallet.
