The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety has announced the Spring Impaired Driving Enforcement campaign, running now through April 18.
During this time, the Wentzville Police Department will have additional grant funded officers on patrol focusing on impaired driving enforcement to support this initiative.
If your plans include alcohol, please plan ahead for a safe ride home. Call a rideshare or designate a sober driver.
Have fun and enjoy the festivities, but please remember that buzzed driving is impaired driving.

Be Aware; Another Round of Text Scams
JEFFERSON CITY, MO — The Missouri Department of Revenue urges Missourians to remain alert as another surge in phishing texts has been reported. These texts are often threatening and falsely claim to be from a trusted source, such as the Missouri Department of Revenue, the Department of Motor Vehicles, or the DMV.
These text messages may include a warning regarding unpaid traffic violations, outstanding toll charges, or other fines owed. These may also contain threats of suspension of your vehicle registration or driving privileges, service charges, or prosecution if you do not pay.
These texts are NOT from the Missouri Department of Revenue and should be treated as scams. The department will not send requests for payment or request personal information via text message. If you receive one of these phishing texts, take the following action:
Do not click on links
Do not provide personal information such as Social Security numbers, banking details, or passwords
Do not respond to the text
Delete the text
Please help increase public awareness and fraud protection by sharing this alert with family, friends, and colleagues. ... See MoreSee Less
