Alternative Vehicle Safety: We Need Your Help

In response to residents concerns about the use of alternative vehicles in our community, the Wentzville Police Department is taking additional steps to address these concerns and asking for your help.

If you see something, say something. Many violations involving alternative vehicles such as operating them in the roadway go unreported while they occur. If you observe unsafe or potentially unlawful use of an alternative vehicle, please call the Wentzville Police Departments nonemergency line at (636) 327-5105 when the violation occurs. Timely reporting gives our officers the best opportunity to respond.

We have also initiated focused patrols during peak hours in areas where concerns have been reported. These patrols are intended to address safety concerns through proactive enforcement, education and parental notification when appropriate.

We appreciate our communitys partnership as we work together to keep our streets, neighborhoods and public spaces safe.

If you see something, say something. Please call (636) 327-5105 when you observe an alternative vehicle safety concern.

For a full list of guidelines and FAQs about alternative vehicles visit our website at www.wentzvillemo.gov/KnowBeforeYouRide. 

Thank you for helping us keep Wentzville safe.

Don't be a snitch

No victim, no crime

Cars driving way too fast on Highway Z in between Interstate Dr and Perry Cate……

Nope, you all cause use the flock cameras. No longer out to help the police since they want to spy on us deeper.

Imagine snitching on kids trying to have fun on their e-bikes ☠️

Keeping Our K9s Safe

K9 Jax would like to thank Protecting K9 Heroes for providing the Wentzville Police Department K9 Jax and his handler, Officer Coughlin, with a K9 trauma kit including Narcan and a protective vest.

Protecting K9 Heroes has provided more than 1,500 protective vests and 4,900 trauma kits to law enforcement officers and their K9 partners across the country. Their mission is made possible through generous donations, and we are incredibly grateful they selected K9 Jax to receive this life-saving equipment.

This equipment provides an added layer of protection for Jax while he works alongside Officer Coughlin to keep our community safe. We cant thank Protecting K9 Heroes enough for their generosity and commitment to protecting K9s.
