Great job officers πŸ‘. Be safe and thanks for all you do- speeders be speeders - until they're caught.

I want to learn why you steal money from your citizens through ticketing of menial traffic offences instead of doing the job you signed up to do. Protect and serve. 10-15 over protects no one but the tickets serve the city wallet.

This is how you start the week, with amazing support from local students!

Thank you to the students and staff at Heritage Elementary School for the thoughtful thank you bags prepared for our officers.

Our School Resource Officer unit collected the bags, which were filled with snacks and kind messages of appreciation, to share with our team. Gestures like this truly mean a great deal to our department.

We are especially grateful for the support from the younger members of our community. Seeing students take the time to recognize and encourage first responders is both meaningful and appreciated.

Thank you, Heritage Elementary, for your kindness and support.

This week, we honored Captain Borroum and Officer Lamb by presenting them with their service anniversary awards in recognition of their service to the City of Wentzville.  

Please join us in congratulating Captain Borroum on 30 years of dedicated service to the Wentzville Police Department and the Wentzville community.

Throughout his career, Captain Borroum has served as a Patrol Officer, Detective, Drug Task Force Officer, Bicycle Officer and Firearms Instructor. He led the implementation of body-worn cameras in 2012, making Wentzville the first police department in Missouri to deploy the technology. He also established our drone program and later became the first officer to lead a newly created Technology Division as a Lieutenant.

Captain Borroum is a graduate of the Southern Police Institute and recently completed the Certified Public Manager Program through the University of Kansas. He has also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management.

Today, he serves as the Captain of our Patrol Division. We thank Captain Borroum for 30 years of service, leadership and continued commitment to the Wentzville community.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Lamb on celebrating five years of service to the Wentzville Police Department and the Wentzville community.

Officer Lamb is proud to patrol our community and is passionate about protecting residents and businesses. He is especially dedicated to pursuing felony cases to help ensure justice for victims.

In addition to serving Wentzville, Officer Lamb is a 17-year veteran of the Army National Guard. His commitment to service in both uniforms reflects his dedication to community, state and country.

Congratulations, Officer Lamb, and thank you for your continued service.
