DWI Saturation Patrols Planned in Wentzville.

This week the Wentzville Police Department will conduct coordinated DWI saturation patrols.

The effort will involve extra grant funded officers on patrol and Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)—officers specially trained and certified to identify drivers impaired by drugs, not just alcohol.

How you can help:
Talk to your friends and loved ones about making safe choices. Always plan ahead for a sober ride. Use a rideshare service, designate a driver, or stay overnight if needed. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you see someone who may be impaired, speak up or help them find a safe option. 

Your actions could save a life, maybe even your own. Let’s all do our part to prevent impaired driving and make our communities safer.

Great now I gotta take a detour this week🤦‍♂️🤭

All the gang tags... How cool

One question y do you advertise it.

Thank you WPD! Not sure how anyone can argue against removing intoxicated drivers from our roads.

No complainant, no injured party, no harassment.
