We had a great visit this morning at LINC summer camp. We hosted a safety talk with the kiddos about proper use of 911 and summer safety.

Have a great summer and be safe!

All I see are kids driving these things.

Now if we can get people to actually follow these rules - especially being 16 with a license.....

Don't you have to have a valid driver license to operate these on the road

In 1979 I started with Jennings PD at $6 and hour. Left 5 years later making $9 an hour. Glad to see the pay is better now.

DWI Saturation Patrols Planned in St. Charles County

This summer, local law enforcement agencies will conduct coordinated DWI saturation patrols in the St. Charles County community.

While officers regularly enforce DWI laws within their own jurisdictions, these saturation events represent a joint effort among the St. Charles City Police Department, St. Charles County Police Department, St. Peters Police Department, O’Fallon Police Department, Lake St. Louis Police Department, Wentzville Police Department, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. On designated dates throughout the summer, these agencies will increase patrols across high-traffic areas throughout St. Charles County to identify and remove impaired drivers from the road.

The effort will involve Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)—officers specially trained and certified to identify drivers impaired by drugs, not just alcohol.

How you can help:
Talk to your friends and loved ones about making safe choices. Always plan ahead for a sober ride. Use a rideshare service, designate a driver, or stay overnight if needed. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  If you see someone who may be impaired, speak up or help them find a safe option.  Your actions could save a life, maybe even your own. Let’s all do our part to prevent impaired driving and make our communities safer.

It is so important that you prevent someone you know is drunk. I was with a group of friends. We saw this guy came out who could hardly walk. Someone made a comment that someone should stop him. No one didn’t anything. So I got up and stood in front of his car door. He kept yelling at me to move. I don’t think you should be driving. He kept yelling and started to raise his arms like he was going to hit me. Luckly a big male friend of mine came up and told this drunk that he wasn’t going to hit me. He kept yelling at both of us. We as someone to call the police. When the police came they told him he wasn’t going to drive. He told them that he WAS going to drive home and that he was a lawyer. The cuffed him and took him off. I was so thankful that I stopped this guy from driving. God only knows that he could have killed someone.

Every night I see someone stopped for "speeding" I think, "wow, I've seen at least 2-3 drunk drivers. But instead, they'd rather steal money from the Wentzville citizens instead of actually protecting or serving them." It's really sad
