On Thursday, March 19 we congratulated the second semester graduates of the WPD S.T.A.R.T. program by students from Heritage 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!”

Today, Wednesday, March 18 Corporal Wilson and K9 Winnie had a great visit at Cedarhurst Senior Living of Wentzville. They hosted a scam awareness and safety talk with local residents to educate and protect them from becoming victims of online and phone scams. They had a great time meeting new friends and everyone loved visiting with K9 Winnie too.
Thank you for the invitation; we will see you again soon. Which senior community should we visit next?

If your business accepts cash, these pens can add an extra layer of protection for your employees and help reduce financial loss. The pens are easy to use and available at no cost.

The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety has announced the Spring Impaired Driving Enforcement campaign, running now through April 18.
During this time, the Wentzville Police Department will have additional grant funded officers on patrol focusing on impaired driving enforcement to support this initiative.
If your plans include alcohol, please plan ahead for a safe ride home. Call a rideshare or designate a sober driver.
Have fun and enjoy the festivities, but please remember that buzzed driving is impaired driving.

Thank you for keeping our roadways safe. We appreciate all you do to End Impaired Driving.
Officers, please Just don’t forget, when you pull someone over, that you were young & inexperienced once.
How about just going too fast on the highway through the construction zone
