On Wednesday, Feb. 25 our officers had the opportunity to visit the Wentzville School District Early Childhood Program at Heritage Elementary and Peine Elementary.

Students enjoyed a vehicle tour where they learned how police cars function as emergency vehicles and how officers use their equipment to respond to calls for service. They also met K9 Winnie during a special meet and greet.

We truly value opportunities like these to connect with the youngest members of our community and build positive relationships early on. Thank you to the staff and students for welcoming us into your schools.

Yesterday, Friday, Feb. 27 after more than 27 years of dedicated service to the Wentzville community, Officer vanBreusegen retired from the Wentzville Police Department.

Officer vanBreusegen began her career in 1998 as a Park Ranger before becoming a Patrol Officer in 2000. In 2004, she transitioned to serve as our D.A.R.E. Instructor and Public Relations Officer. She later returned to patrol before becoming a School Resource Officer in 2013. In 2021, she transferred to the Detective Bureau and in 2022, she returned to serve as a School Resource Officer, a role she has proudly held until her retirement.

Throughout her career, Officer vanBreusegen received numerous recognitions, including City of Wentzville Employee of the Year (2005), Officer of the Year from the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (2016), the Outstanding Service Award from the Great Rivers Crisis Intervention Team, multiple Kudos Awards, Certificates of Recognition and three Chief’s Commendations. She also served on the committee responsible for redesigning the Wentzville Police Department patch and badge worn today.

While she served in many roles, her passion always centered on service, especially helping children in difficult circumstances. Whether on patrol, as a School Resource Officer or as a detective, she helped countless young people in our community find safety and support.

Officer vanBreusegen served this department and community with passion, professionalism and unwavering dedication. We thank her for 27 years of commitment to the safety and security of Wentzville and wish her the very best in retirement.
