Thank you. Stay safe.

Honoring National Corrections Officer Appreciation Week.

This week, we recognize the professionalism, dedication and courage of our Wentzville Police Department Corrections Officers.

Corrections officers serve in one of the most demanding and often misunderstood areas of public safety. While much of their work takes place behind secure doors and out of the public eye, their impact is far-reaching and essential to the safety and operations of our department.

We are proud of our five Corrections Officers—CO Green, CO Rials, CO Mather, CO Gertken and CO Johnson—who serve our community with integrity and commitment each day.

Their dedication and service do not go unnoticed. We see you, and we thank you.

During this week and every week, our corrections officers have earned our respect, appreciation and recognition.

Thank you for your continued service.

Appreciate you!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the jobyou do. Stay safe!

On Tuesday, May 5 we hosted week 5 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.

We started the evening with a presentation by Sgt. Grarup from our Professional Standards Unit gave an in-depth overview of recruiting, hiring, department policies, accreditation, and internal affairs.  

Next up was a K9 presentation led by Sgt. Davis, P.O. Reinagel with K9 Titus and P.O. Alvarez with K9 Guapo and P.O. Coughlin with K9 Jax. They introduced three of our four department K9s and explained their role and use on patrol. They followed that with a couple demonstrations of a drug search and suspect apprehension.

Thank you to everyone who attended to continue learning more about the Wentzville Police Department. We’re looking forward to Week 6!

We ask for your cooperation in avoiding the area to allow first responders to safely manage the situation.

Thank you for your understanding.
