Congratulations to Detective Phillips and Detective Wilkerson.
On Wednesday, March 18 Detective Phillips received a Certificate of Appreciation from the St. Charles County Regional Crime Stoppers.
Since joining the Wentzville Police Department’s Investigations Division in 2025, Detective Phillips has hit the ground running with exceptional investigative skills and a commitment to collaboration. In a recent case, he worked closely with multiple agencies to investigate a serious crime involving a juvenile victim, ensuring a thorough and coordinated response.
Through detailed investigative work, including reviewing digital evidence and coordinating with partner agencies, Detective Phillips helped bring the case to a successful resolution with felony charges. He also assisted three other law enforcement agencies helping them obtain charges as well. His professionalism, attention to detail and focus on supporting victims were critical throughout the investigation.
We commend Detective Phillips for his dedication to protecting our community and his continued service to Wentzville.
On Wednesday, March 18 Detective Wilkerson received a Certificate of Appreciation from the St. Charles County Regional Crime Stoppers.
After being assigned to the Detective Bureau in July 2025, Detective Wilkerson quickly demonstrated strong investigative skills on his first case. Acting on information from an anonymous tip, he worked with partner agencies to identify a serious risk in a child abuse case. He then took swift action to secure a search warrant, coordinate resources and successfully obtain felony charges against the suspect.
This case highlights the importance of teamwork, collaboration and community partnerships. The information provided through Crime Stoppers played a critical role and reinforces the value of community involvement in helping solve and prevent crime.
We commend Detective Wilkerson for his professionalism, dedication and commitment to protecting our community.

On Thursday, March 19 we congratulated the second semester graduates of the WPD S.T.A.R.T. program by students from Heritage Elementary.
Substance Tobacco Alcohol Resistance Training (S.T.A.R.T.) is a comprehensive and adaptable substance abuse prevention curriculum for fifth-grade students. Over nine classes, students learn about critical issues facing youth today, such as tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, bullying and cyberbullying, peer pressure, and citizenship. School Resource Officers lead all classes, utilizing a combination of instructional strategies for student engagement, including interactive learning, lectures, writing prompts, group exercises, and peer-led discussions. Each lesson is focused on helping students understand positive and negative decision-making and providing them with the tools necessary to confidentially express the program’s motto:
“Start by saying NO!”

Today, Wednesday, March 18 Corporal Wilson and K9 Winnie had a great visit at Cedarhurst Senior Living of Wentzville. They hosted a scam awareness and safety talk with local residents to educate and protect them from becoming victims of online and phone scams. They had a great time meeting new friends and everyone loved visiting with K9 Winnie too.
Thank you for the invitation; we will see you again soon. Which senior community should we visit next?
