On Tuesday, May 26 we hosted week 8 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.
Graduation night was a success. We wrapped up the program with a Q & A session and reflection alongside Major Burton, discussing what our participants learned, enjoyed and took away from their time with us.
The final two classes were from the Traffic Unit and Taser. From the traffic unit, Sgt. Houtz and Officer Porch discussed how we use police vehicles, motorcycles and their equipment for traffic enforcement.
We finished with Cpl. Plack to discuss the use of the Taser, this included a detailed overview and demonstration of the Axon Taser.
To the Class of 2026, we sincerely thank you for committing your time to engage with us. For asking thoughtful questions and gaining a better understanding of the work we do. From the Chief down, we are grateful for your willingness to build this partnership and take a deeper look at the people and purpose behind the badge.
We’re proud to now call you part of the Wentzville PD family.

Please can you encourage people to turn on their outside lights that will deter people they will go to dark houses they will not go to houses with lights on in the front yard and the backyard
This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice and dedication to protecting our freedoms should never be forgotten.
As we spend time with family and friends this holiday weekend, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
From all of us at the Wentzville Police Department, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

Vehicle Theft Prevention Starts With You
Many overnight vehicle break-ins occur because vehicles are left unlocked or valuables are visible inside.
Tonight at 9 p.m., remember to:
Lock your vehicle doors
Never leave keys or key fobs inside
Remove purses, wallets, firearms and electronics
Park in well-lit areas whenever possible
Criminals often walk through neighborhoods simply checking door handles looking for easy opportunities.
Don’t make it easy. A few seconds of prevention can save you a lot of frustration later.

WPD Participates in the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Missouri
On Tuesday, May 19 several officers of the Wentzville Police Department joined law enforcement agencies from across St. Charles County in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run supporting Special Olympics Missouri.
Officers proudly carried the “Flame of Hope” through the Wentzville community to raise awareness and show support for the outstanding athletes of Special Olympics Missouri. This event represents much more than a run — it is a celebration of determination, inclusion and community partnership.
The Wentzville route traveled westbound on Interstate 70, north on Highway 61 and concluded along Pearce Boulevard. We appreciate the support shown by our community throughout the event and thank everyone for their patience during the temporary traffic impacts.
The Wentzville Police Department is proud to support Special Olympics Missouri and the athletes who continue to inspire us through their perseverance and dedication.
