On Tuesday, April 14 we hosted week 2 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.

This week’s Citizens Police Academy session featured presentations from our Bureau of Field Operations (Patrol) and the Bureau of Investigations (Detectives.)

The Bureau of Field Operations is led by Captain Borroum and includes Patrol, Communications and the Jail. The Patrol Division consists of four platoons, each staffed with a Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal and eight patrol officers. These teams work around the clock to provide 24/7 service to the Wentzville community. Whether responding to calls for service, enforcing traffic laws or proactively patrolling neighborhoods and business areas, our officers are committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming city.

Detective Howes and Detective Ernst gave the Bureau of Investigations presentation. They explained how cases are assigned to detectives and how they work through each investigation. How they use a wide range of tools and technology, including digital forensics, surveillance systems, interviews and crime databases to identify suspects and build strong cases. Detective Ernst also gave an in-depth overview of our Crime Scene Unit and her responsibilities in collecting, processing and analyzing evidence. She demonstrated how forensic work, like fingerprint recovery, plays a vital role in supporting investigations and helping bring justice for victims. Our class even had a chance to try a hands-on fingerprint activity.

Thank you to everyone who attended and continue to show interest in learning more about the Wentzville Police Department. We’re looking forward to Week 3!

This week, we recognize National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and celebrate the dedicated professionals behind the headset at the Wentzville Police Department.

Our dispatchers are the first point of contact in an emergency — the calm voice on the other end of the line, guiding callers through difficult moments and ensuring officers, fire and EMS are sent where they are needed most.

While much of their work happens behind the scenes, their impact is felt throughout our entire community. Their ability to stay calm under pressure, manage multiple situations at once and support both the public and first responders is critical to everything we do.

Thank you to our dispatchers for your professionalism, dedication and commitment to keeping Wentzville safe. Your work does not go unnoticed.
