On Friday, Dec. 19 we had "Round 3" for the Wentzville Police Department Blue Line Family, Inc. holiday community outreach program. Several officers helped with "Shop with a Cop" sponsored by the WPD Blue Line Family and the Wentzville Walmart. We partnered with Helping Hands to bring holiday cheer to three local families and 11 children. We hope this helps make their holiday season a little brighter and full of joy.
Thanks again to everyone that has participated in any way to a WPD Blue Line Family event this year to help make these donations possible.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and thanks again for all the support.

This Wednesday, Dec. 17 Captain Pyatt recognized Detective Gruswitz for his outstanding investigative work and regional collaboration with a Certificate of Excellence.
Through proactive intelligence sharing and strong partnerships with law enforcement, retail loss prevention teams and federal agencies, Detective Gruswitz helped dismantle an interstate counterfeiting and organized retail theft scheme responsible for tens of thousands of dollars in losses across multiple states.
His efforts led to the arrest of three suspects, the filing of felony charges and adoption of the case by the U.S. Secret Service for further investigation. This case highlights the importance of collaboration and commitment to protecting our community and region.
We are proud to recognize Detective Gruswitz for his dedication to public safety and crime prevention.
