Happy Friday. Thank you for the updates. Please stay safe.
We made it. Good work yall stay safe
Thank you. Stay safe.
The Wentzville Police Department K9 Program consists of five K9 teams, including single-purpose and dual-purpose patrol K9s, as well as a certified therapy K9.
While our K9s may be approachable in certain circumstances, not all working K9s are available to be petted or interacted with. When a K9 is on duty, it is important to respect their space and allow the handler to determine whether interaction is appropriate.
If you see one of our K9 teams out on patrol, we encourage you to ask the handler any questions you may have about their K9 partner and the important role they serve within our department and community.
Of course, K9 Winnie would like everyone to know that she is always happy to accept a little extra attention that you may not be able to give another patrol K9.
Thank you for helping us respect and protect our K9 teams while they work to keep our community safe. ... See MoreSee Less

This is a good one!
Five of the best boys and girl in the whole world 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐶
***UPDATE***
All lanes are open for traffic. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this scene.
Highway 70 Westbound will be closed at Wentzville Parkway for an extended period of time while officers investigate a pedestrian struck incident involving a semi truck.
All Westbound traffic is being diverted off the highway at Wentzville Parkway which is just before the investigation scene.
Traffic is able to access Westbound Highway 70 from Wentzville Parkway and is flowing.
Eastbound Highway 70 is open and flowing at this time however may need to be closed later for investigation purposes.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is handling this investigation, please seek an alternative route if you can to provide first responders room to work this investigation.
Thank you.
