Teen drivers are at the highest risk on the road, but as a parent, you can make a difference. First Impact is a powerful program designed to educate parents and guardians about Missouri’s Graduated Driver License (GDL) Law – what it means, why it works, and how you can help keep your teen safe behind the wheel. While the class is geared toward parents, teens are encouraged to accompany them. 

Attendance is free, but space is limited! Secure your spot today and take the first step toward a safer future for your teen.

This is a fantastic program! Good for new drivers and their parents.

Old people are the biggest danger to everyone else on the road. They're not even intelligent enough to follow the flow of traffic or do the posted speed limits 💀

Today, Monday, April 6 we start the week by welcoming two new police officers to the Wentzville Police Department.

Welcome Officer Ellmer!

Please join us in welcoming Officer Ellmer to the Wentzville Police Department. He comes to us as a recent graduate of the Eastern Missouri Police Academy. He lives in St. Charles County, married and has a 7 month old daughter. When hes not patrolling Officer Ellmer enjoys spending time with his family and wake boarding.
  
Welcome to WPD – Officer Shaw!

Please join us in welcoming Officer Shaw to the Wentzville Police Department. He also comes to us as a recent graduate of the Eastern Missouri Police Academy. He has also served in the Army National Guard for the last 8 years. Officer Shaw grew up in Wentzville and is excited to patrol his hometown. Outside of work, Officer Shaw enjoys spending time with his family, friends and playing golf.
