On Tuesday, May 26 we hosted week 8 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.

Graduation night was a success. We wrapped up the program with a Q & A session and reflection alongside Major Burton, discussing what our participants learned, enjoyed and took away from their time with us.

The final two classes were from the Traffic Unit and Taser. From the traffic unit, Sgt. Houtz and Officer Porch discussed how we use police vehicles, motorcycles and their equipment for traffic enforcement. 

We finished with Cpl. Plack to discuss the use of the Taser, this included a detailed overview and demonstration of the Axon Taser.

To the Class of 2026, we sincerely thank you for committing your time to engage with us. For asking thoughtful questions and gaining a better understanding of the work we do. From the Chief down, we are grateful for your willingness to build this partnership and take a deeper look at the people and purpose behind the badge.

We’re proud to now call you part of the Wentzville PD family.

Make Home Security Part of Your Nightly Routine

Before heading to bed tonight, take a few moments to complete the #9PMRoutine:
Lock exterior doors
Close garage doors
Turn on exterior lights
Bring in valuables and secure belongings

Small steps each night can help reduce crimes of opportunity and keep your family and property safe.

Consistency matters. Build the habit and encourage your family members to do the same.

Stay alert. Stay safe.

Vehicle Theft Prevention Starts With You

Many overnight vehicle break-ins occur because vehicles are left unlocked or valuables are visible inside.

Tonight at 9 p.m., remember to:
Lock your vehicle doors
Never leave keys or key fobs inside
Remove purses, wallets, firearms and electronics
Park in well-lit areas whenever possible

Criminals often walk through neighborhoods simply checking door handles looking for easy opportunities.

Don’t make it easy. A few seconds of prevention can save you a lot of frustration later.

WPD Participates in the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Missouri

On Tuesday, May 19 several officers of the Wentzville Police Department joined law enforcement agencies from across St. Charles County in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run supporting Special Olympics Missouri.

Officers proudly carried the “Flame of Hope” through the Wentzville community to raise awareness and show support for the outstanding athletes of Special Olympics Missouri. This event represents much more than a run — it is a celebration of determination, inclusion and community partnership.

The Wentzville route traveled westbound on Interstate 70, north on Highway 61 and concluded along Pearce Boulevard. We appreciate the support shown by our community throughout the event and thank everyone for their patience during the temporary traffic impacts.

The Wentzville Police Department is proud to support Special Olympics Missouri and the athletes who continue to inspire us through their perseverance and dedication.
