Road conditions across Wentzville are very slick due to the recent snowfall. Our officers have already responded to more than 15 motor vehicle accidents and slide offs. If you’re able to stay off the roads, we encourage you to do so. For those who must travel, please slow down, increase your following distance and allow extra time to reach your destination. Your safety is our priority.

A big thank you for all you're going to do today

Please be careful on the roads, drive safely! 🌟

Thank you & be safe!!!

Thank you for all that you do

Thank you Wentzville Police Department, I'm in for the day.

Meanwhile all the high schoolers are leaving school in this :( praying they all get home safe! And the kiddos on buses.

A little bit of salt goes a long way! There are cars stuck on every back road in Wentzville.

Thanks to our police for helping others. Please stay safe.

Thank you Officers!! Buses are not moving for Elementary! Go get your littles if you can!!

For those people that complain about police departments having 4x4 trucks and SUVs, remember days like today. Keep up the great work, WPD!

It's a little late don't you think. You guys did a horrible job today. Modot included

Not to mention the bus drivers. We don't have that many days.They should have just called it.

Modot good job

Have you thought about asking why they did not pretreat the roads? Lack of proper management.

Why do people drive in the snow w/their hazard lights on? Turn hazards off & turn on head & tail lights!!

I hope the salt trucks get out soon because as of 206. We can’t deliver students per the superintendent

Congratulations to the first semester graduates of the WPD S.T.A.R.T. program by students from Boone Trail Elementary and Stone Creek 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. All classes are led by our School Resource Officers who utilize 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!”

We have to talk to the kiddos early and often.

Congratulations!

D.A.R.E was a much better name

Did you attend one of the “Rod Run” events this summer?

If so, with your help and an amazing partnership with Harris Automotive they raised $17,200 to support the W.P.D. S.T.A.R.T. program. Thank you so much for the support, this donation does so much for drug prevention to educate every 5th grader in this community. Chief West accepted this donation from the fourth generation of the Harris Automotive family.

Harris Automotive & Tire!

Wow! It’s great to see a business helping the community. WTG Harris Automotive!

Wow!!! That is totally amazing! Thanks Harris Automotive for supporting the START Program!

Fantastic!!

Sorry, my memory of the Wentzville PD violating the first amendment rights of a citizen at a BoA meeting decrying a 16 foot "In God We Trust" sign under the dais are still a little fresh even after all these years. What steps has the WPD taken to insure our constitutional rights are respected? Is there perhaps a program for officers to learn how to resist the unlawful orders of the mayor?
