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. #WentzvillePD
