During National Law Enforcement Records Personnel Appreciation Week, we want to recognize and thank the professional support staff of the Wentzville Police Department.

While they may not wear a badge their work behind the scenes plays an important role in keeping our department running smoothly. From processing reports and managing records to carefully preparing cases and documentation for the next steps in the judicial system, their attention to detail and dedication help ensure the work of our officers continues long after a call is completed.

Their professionalism, accuracy and commitment to getting the details right make a difference every day. Our officers and our entire department rely on their hard work and support to serve the Wentzville community effectively.

To our professional support staff, thank you for everything you do. Your contributions matter and we are grateful to have you as part of the Wentzville Police Department team.
