Corporal Wilson had a great visit this morning at Hampton Manor of Wentzville. We made so many new friends and had a great scam awareness and safety talk to protect our seniors. We also had a visit from K9 Winnie who stole the show as usual. Thanks for the invite and we will see you again soon.
Which senior community should we visit next?

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!!
"I dont discuss my day" and "I dont answer questions"
What do you do when you smell a vehicle full of skunks?......hold your nose and move on?🦨🫣🤔
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
Smart idea to post your intentions far enough in advance to allow for alternative routes to be planned
This is going to end in a lawsuit. I can see it now. Either a cop is going to try to prosecute someone they "believe" is high or theyre going to prosecute someone for having thc in their system from 24hrs prior and that'll happen for months until theres a rich mans kid that gets hit and them bam class action lawsuit.
St Charles yellow cab 636-724-1234, be safe!
Thanks for doing this!
You should be ticketing the phoners, just as illegal, just as dangerous, and half the drivers are on the phone.
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
FTP
Thank you
Year end cash for the city.That's BS.
Internal check points are unconstitutional… no victim no crime
Don't roll down your windows, Don't answer questions and don't submit to any tests!!
We the people need to do a chomo check on you chomos
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

We can’t wait to meet you!!!
This morning, I must target a message for sophisticated adults. None of this is a joke. Do you know what the Police and Fire Departments need to modernize? The Huel Kitchen. It will fix everything: cholesterol, inflammation (CRP), baseline stress hormone (cortisol), fat-burning hormones activated through the liver, etc. A Huel Kitchen is a preventative healthcare system. It is the missing link, the Mona Lisa, the Big Bang after pre-history. It is what is so goddamn WRONG with everything foundationally. “Health Care Revolt” (2018) claims that we have no healthcare system. “We don’t actually need to do that much more research into HIV. We have all the science we need to stop the epidemic tomorrow, but we don’t have a health care system that can coordinate the work required. That’s because we don’t have a health care system at all. What is a health care system anyway? We have lots of people who make a living from health care—doctors and nurses, hospitals and clinics, health insurance companies and government bureaucrats, pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical retailers, and medical device manufacturers and home health agencies that are running around in communities dispensing health care services and products. Isn’t that a health care system? No. People selling services and products isn’t a system. It’s a market. A health care system is an organized set of services and products made available to the entire population and designed to achieve a predetermined set of outcomes. We have water supply systems in most American communities that deliver relatively safe and relatively pure water to every household. We have a public safety system that delivers fire and police protection and functions according to certain standards for everyone in the communities they serve. We have a public education system that makes elementary and high school education available without charge to every child in all American communities. But we have no health care system. No one decides what health care services every American should have. No one sets standards for those universally available services. No one figures out how we are going to make sure every American gets those services, and no one figures out how we are going to pay for what we believe every American should have.” As you can see partially, I have a few bags of Huel to last through next month. Then, I spent between $30 and $50 per item to invest in rutin, berberine, cocoa bean, parsley, naringin, creatine, Lion’s Mane, black sesame seeds, etc. You can’t go wrong! Choose your own adventure! Just stack them on a rack system with enough vertical space for a BulkSupplements bag. This was all a mess on a table before vertical organization. Now, it is so elegant.

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 ?
