Today, Sept. 20 on National Crime Analyst Day, we recognize Crime Analyst VanderWeide and the important work she does behind the scenes to help keep the Wentzville community safe.

Crime analysts play a vital role in modern law enforcement by taking raw information and data and turning it into actionable leads. Their work helps officers and detectives connect the dots during active investigations, identify patterns and crime trends and provide information that guides law enforcement efforts. 

While much of this work happens behind the scenes, its impact is felt throughout our department and community. The information and analysis provided by Crime Analyst VanderWeide helps our officers and detectives make informed decisions and better understand what is happening in our community.

We want to recognize and thank Crime Analyst VanderWeide for her dedication, hard work and commitment to supporting the men and women of the Wentzville Police Department and helping keep our community safe.

Thank you for all you do!

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

Officer Roberts has dedicated 32 years to law enforcement, including the past five years serving as a School Resource Officer at Wentzville Middle School. During that time, he has made a lasting impact by building meaningful relationships with students, supporting staff and providing a trusted source of guidance and encouragement.

Officer Roberts is much more than a police officer in the school. He takes the time to listen, mentor and help students work through challenges while creating an environment where they feel safe, supported and comfortable asking for help. His experience, calm demeanor and commitment to serving others make him an invaluable part of the Wentzville Middle School community.

We are proud to see Officer Roberts recognized for the dedication and positive impact he makes every day.

Congratulations, Officer Roberts and thank you for your continued service to our community and our students.

Congratulations Gary!! I hope to see you this year and school!

Heavenly Father, Lord God of Hosts, Sovereign over every earthly and heavenly realm, You alone hold supreme authority. We come before You acknowledging that our struggle is not merely against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places. Lord God, just as You answered Your prophet Elijah on Mount Carmel with fire from heaven to consume the false altars, we ask You to release Your Holy Judgment Fire against the corrupt principalities, wicked municipalities, and evil rulers who exalt themselves against Your law. Consume the systems of greed, the blasphemous idols of money and power, and every human structure built on exploitation and deception. Let Your purifying flame sweep through the corridors of earthly government and spiritual darkness, burning away every stronghold that resists Your truth. Father, we also remember how Daniel stood faithful in hostile lands, pressing through heavy spiritual opposition where demonic princes sought to hinder his communication with heaven. Just as unseen forces and aerial hindrances tried to intercept and devour the words of Your servants, dispatch Your mighty angels to clear the airspace over our prayers. Shut the mouths of every spiritual adversary, scatter the forces that gather like birds of prey to snatch away our petitions, and let every decree sent forth in Your name pierce through the heavens unchecked. Vindicate Your name, Lord, in the cities, nations, and halls of power. Silence the arrogant rulers, dismantle the modern temples of mammon, and let Your kingdom come with power. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We appreciate you, Gary!!

Congrats Gary!

Congrats!!! 💙

We had a great time visiting our friends at Hampton Manor Assisted Living today.

Several members of the Wentzville Police Department stopped by to share coffee and donuts, spend time with residents and enjoy some great conversation. We shared stories, answered questions and as always, reminded our friends never to hesitate to call us if they need our help.

Of course, K9 Winnie made a visit too and as usual, she managed to steal the show. She always seems to know exactly how to make new friends.

We appreciate the opportunity to spend time with the residents at Hampton Manor and build the relationships that make our community stronger. These visits are about more than just stopping by. They give us an opportunity to listen, connect and get to know the people we are proud to serve.

If your senior community would like to schedule a visit from the Wentzville Police Department, please contact Sgt. Schmidt at (636) 639-2107 or Jacob.Schmidt@wentzvillemo.gov.

Thanks for the invitation, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
