A big thank you to our friends at Drake's in O'Fallon for providing lunch to the Wentzville Police Department today.
The generous meal helped fuel Platoon Four as they work through their shift, continuing to serve our community.
We appreciate the thoughtful gesture and the continued support of our officers.
Thank you for thinking of WPD and taking care of our team.

What's the cut-off age?
What kind of shifts do you all do, 12’s?
Wentzville definitely does not need more cops
First lesson how not to lose your job and catch a lawsuit. Learn the constitutional rights of people and don't violate them. The only oath you'll take is to uphold the Constitution you might want to learn what you're swearing to do.... just a thought.
Geeze Lincoln Deputies barely get that. Stop taking our police for better paying jobs lol. We want to keep ours
I feel bad for anyone that decides to work here. Wonder if you’ll ever get to a point where you can stop posting the we’re hiring posts?
