On Wednesday, April 1 we congratulated the second semester graduates of the WPD S.T.A.R.T. program by students from Journey Elementary.
Substance Tobacco Alcohol Resistance Training (S.T.A.R.T.) is a comprehensive and adaptable substance abuse prevention curriculum for fifth-grade students. Over nine classes, students learn about critical issues facing youth today, such as tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, bullying and cyberbullying, peer pressure, and citizenship. School Resource Officers lead all classes, utilizing a combination of instructional strategies for student engagement, including interactive learning, lectures, writing prompts, group exercises, and peer-led discussions. Each lesson is focused on helping students understand positive and negative decision-making and providing them with the tools necessary to confidentially express the program’s motto:
“Start by saying NO!”

Would be nice to give motorcycles room too. To many times I see most prominently three letters in my rearview mirrors "MAR" right on my back tire way to often.
Thank you, WPD, for watching over our community! Be safe!

Safe driving starts with simple choices: Eyes up. Phone down. Slow down. Give space.
Common contributing factors in motor vehicle accidents include:
• Failure to yield
• Following too closely
• Improper backing
• Driving too fast for conditions
• Distracted driving
Stay focused, give yourself space and drive for the conditions.

I’ve found most people don’t know what “following too closely” looks like. I like the three second rule. Easy to gauge no matter where you are.
After 22 years of dedicated service to the City of Wentzville, we congratulate Detective Huntoon on her retirement from the Wentzville Police Department.
Detective Huntoon began her career with the City in August 2004 as a commissioned Park Ranger, bringing with her three years of prior law enforcement experience from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
In 2011, she was awarded the Missouri Municipal League Innovation Award for creating the drug take-back box program, which is still located in our department lobby today and has since expanded to thousands of police departments across the country.
In 2013, she transferred to Patrol, where she served for three years before being selected to transfer to the St. Charles County Drug Task Force in 2016.
Following that assignment, she returned to Patrol in 2018 and was later selected as a School Resource Officer in 2019, serving Boone Trail, Stone Creek and Journey Elementary Schools. During her time as an SRO, she also served as a S.T.A.R.T. instructor, teaching substance, tobacco and alcohol resistance training to every 5th-grade student in the Wentzville School District, making a lasting impact on youth across our community.
In 2022, Detective Huntoon returned to the St. Charles County Drug Task Force, where she served until her retirement. Throughout her career, she received multiple shout-out awards and an Award of Excellence in recognition of her hard work.
Her investigative work had a significant impact both locally and nationally. In 2024, she received a Chief’s Commendation and a Letter of Appreciation from the Eastern District of Missouri Assistant United States Attorney for her role in a major narcotics investigation involving a suspect distributing approximately 100 pounds of methamphetamine monthly through Wentzville into the St. Louis region. That case expanded into a nationwide operation, culminating in coordinated enforcement actions across six cities and 34 local arrests, all tied back to her original investigation.
In 2025, she was recognized with the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Award for her work on a three-year investigation that resulted in the seizure of millions of dollars in drug proceeds and thousands of pounds of cocaine, fentanyl and methamphetamine. That investigation led to multiple federal indictments involving cartel members operating in the United States and Mexico.
Outside of her law enforcement duties, Detective Huntoon demonstrated a strong commitment to helping others. She served on the executive board for the Gateway Hemophilia Association, supporting children and families with blood disorders, and on the executive board for Missing in Missouri, an organization dedicated to locating missing persons and identifying deceased individuals. She also played a vital role in the development of Della’s Law, aimed at improving missing persons reporting and the use of the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).
Detective Huntoon’s passion for serving on the St. Charles County Drug Task Force and her relentless work combating illegal narcotics had a direct impact not only in Wentzville and St. Charles County, but in large-scale investigations reaching across the country. Her dedication, professionalism and commitment to public safety have made a lasting difference in our community.
We thank Detective Huntoon for her 22 years of service and her unwavering commitment to protecting the citizens of Wentzville. We wish her the very best in retirement.
