Thank you for sharing this opportunity 🙏

Is this full-time or part-time?

Lathan Wright

Lauren

Shane Lutz!!!!!

Justice Michael

Look at my cute little niece!

I worked as a co before

I don't train law enforcement anymore... I'm sure y'all don't need any help with your full automatics. 😉

Free range time?

Joe Toberman

Justin Bergman

How many prisons do you think we have in this state with federal and state and holdovers combined I know I have four around me within 30 minutes and that's not including local municipality jails and county jails

It’s sad that in the US sick leave is a ”benefit”

$40 an hour. Anything less would be a Felony 😂

Do you hire Felons?

It appears all the racist cops went to work for ice so they can inflict maximum damage. When the trials finish at least they won't be able to go back to work here.

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. #WentzvillePD

WPD are not just lunch heroes, you are our heroes every day. I appreciate how hard you work to keep our children and schools safe!

This is amazing! Thank you for all that you do for our community.

The BEST POLICE DEPARTMENT

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.

This Wednesday, Jan. 7 Captain Borroum recognized Sgt. Talbott with a Certificate of Excellence. 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. Talbott’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. #WentzvillePD
