This Thursday, Jan. 8 we continued our partnership with the Wentzville School District in support of the School Lunch Heroes program.

While the Wentzville Police Department did not host No Shave November this year due to a policy change allowing officers to wear beards year-round, our corporals stepped up in a big way. Led by Cpl. Wilson, they organized a donation drive to ensure we could still support this important program that helps local students and families.

This effort reflects the strong partnership between the Wentzville Police Department, the Wentzville School District and our community. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the $800 donation and helped make a positive impact for kids right here in Wentzville.

Thank you!! I love this community.

All kids need a balanced meal or 2 a day. What a kind hearted act this is. Hopefully the kids will pay it forward in their adult life in some way.

During a high-risk incident in November of 2025, Sgt. Talbott demonstrated exceptional leadership, sound decision-making and strong command presence. His ability to slow the situation down, coordinate resources and guide officers through a safe and deliberate response was instrumental in resolving the incident without serious injury.

Sgt. Talbottโ€™s actions reflect the highest standards of the Wentzville Police Department and highlight the importance of training, teamwork and leadership in keeping both officers and the community safe. We are proud to recognize his professionalism and commitment to public safety.
