***PHONE SCAM TEXT ALERT***

Today, Friday, May 1 we received several complaints from residents regarding reports of text scams for money.

This version of the scam was reported in two separate scams, the scammer claims you have a warrant for an unpaid ticket or you didnt report for jury duty.

They are also impersonating a Wentzville Police Officer or another law enforcement officer or agent.

The scammer states the victim has felony warrants but they can pay over the phone by providing gift card information or even more dangerously, personal banking information.

To be clear, the Wentzville Police Department or the Wentzville Municipal Court will NEVER contact you for payment over the phone.

Please dont hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Please DO NOT buy gift cards and give the scammer the pin numbers or provide any banking or personal information.
Thank you, be safe!

On Tuesday, April 28 we hosted week 4 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.

We started the evening with a discussion on mental health and crisis intervention led by Sgt. Maddolin and Keri Teter from Compass Health in Wentzville, highlighting the importance of our Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) and the resources available in our community.

Then, the Technology Unit presentation was led by Lt. Thurman, Sgt. Maddolin and Officer Burkemper. They showed several pieces of equipment from our drone program. Officer Burkemper took everyone outside for a drone demonstration flight to show our systems capabilities. We finished covering all the tech officers use to be more efficient in our jobs. We started with body cameras, in-car cameras, Flock system, Power Engage, a few investigative tools and the drone program.

Thank you to everyone who attended to continue learning more about the Wentzville Police Department. We’re looking forward to Week 5!

On Tuesday, April 28, Chief West, along with his command staff, City officials, detectives, officers and the communications supervisor attended the 34rd Annual St. Louis Area Police Chiefs Association Police Officer Memorial Prayer Breakfast.

Members of the Wentzville Police Department joined agencies from across the region for the annual Prayer Breakfast to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

This solemn gathering serves as a time to reflect on the courage, dedication and selflessness of the men and women who gave their lives in service to others. Their legacy continues to guide our mission and reminds us of the responsibility we carry each day.

We remain committed to honoring their memory and ensuring their sacrifice is never forgotten.
