Honoring Chief West – 46 Years of Service
After 46 years dedicated to law enforcement, we recognize and celebrate Chief West's career and legacy as he retires from the Wentzville Police Department.
Chief West began his law enforcement career in Wellsville, Missouri, before serving three and a half years with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department. He was later hired by the St. Charles City Police Department, where he spent much of his career serving in various roles, including Patrol Officer, Detective, Detective Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant and Patrol Captain.
In 1987, Chief West became a founding member of the St. Charles County Multijurisdictional Enforcement Group (MEG Unit). Throughout his career, he served with the unit on four separate occasions, progressing from Patrol Officer to leadership positions as a Detective, Detective Corporal and Detective Sergeant. His work with MEG became a defining part of his career, contributing to thousands of investigations targeting drug activity and violent crime throughout St. Charles County and the greater St. Louis region. His commitment to narcotics enforcement continues today through his service as president of the board for the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force.
Following his retirement from the St. Charles City Police Department, Chief West joined the Wentzville Police Department in 2012 as the Major. From his first day, he brought an unmistakable energy and commitment to moving this department forward. He immediately went to work creating opportunities, strengthening operations and building the resources necessary for a growing police department.
As our Major, he helped expand the Support Services division and the Traffic Division, developed the block training and firearms training programs and established the Professional Standards Unit. Throughout those years, he provided consistent, dependable leadership while supporting the department's mission and the Police Chiefs he served.
In the summer of 2020, Chief West was selected as Police Chief. If anyone thought his pace would slow down, they quickly learned otherwise. He continued to push the department forward with the same relentless energy, operational urgency and commitment to progress that had defined his career.
Of all his accomplishments, one of the things Chief West takes the greatest pride in is the development of our department's internal training program. That program continues to evolve and improve today, reflecting his belief that providing our community with the best officers begins with critical hiring practices and exceptional, relevant training. His commitment to developing our officers and preparing them to meet the challenges of modern policing has become an important part of who we are as a department.
Chief West's influence is visible throughout the Wentzville Police Department — in our operations, our training, our leadership and the countless opportunities he made available to the men and women who serve here. His willingness to challenge the status quo, invest in our people and continually look for ways to improve has helped shape this department into one of the strongest in the region.
Forty-six years in law enforcement is an extraordinary accomplishment. But the true measure of Chief West's career is not simply the number of years he served or the positions he held. It is the people he developed, the investigations he helped advance, the communities made safer and the department he leaves behind.
Chief West, thank you for 46 years of service to the law enforcement profession and for the lasting impact you have made on the Wentzville Police Department. Your leadership and legacy will continue to influence this department for many years to come.
Congratulations on your retirement.

We were honored to once again join UAW Local 2250 for their annual holiday meal delivery to the residents of Elder Court.
It was a beautiful day to get out in the community, deliver meals and spend a little time with the residents. This annual tradition is a great example of the generosity and community spirit that make Wentzville such a special place.
We appreciate UAW Local 2250 for continuing to give back to the community we all serve and for inviting the Wentzville Police Department to be part of this meaningful effort. It's always a pleasure to work alongside community partners who make a difference in the lives of others.
Thank you to UAW Local 2250 and everyone who helped make this year's meal delivery possible. We are grateful for your continued support and partnership.
