Please join us in congratulating K9 Officer Coughlin on being named Employee of the Month.
Officer Coughlin’s proactive investigation led to a successful narcotics case involving the St. Charles County Drug Task Force and St. Charles County SWAT. After seizing narcotics during a traffic stop, he continued building the case by gathering additional evidence and establishing probable cause tied to a Wentzville residence.
His efforts ultimately led to obtaining a search warrant executed by the Drug Task Force and SWAT resulting in a successful outcome.
Officer Coughlin’s initiative, attention to detail and commitment to proactive policing directly impacted the safety of our community. We appreciate his hard work and dedication.

Eyes Up. Phone Down. Slow Down. Give Space.
Simple driving habits make a big difference. Keep your eyes on the road, reduce your speed and leave space between you and the vehicle in front of you — especially in construction zones.

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.
