On Tuesday, May 19 we hosted week 7 of the Wentzville Police Department Citizens Police Academy Class of 2026.

Our first presentation of the night was from the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force. This was packed with interesting information about how law enforcement in St. Charles County proactively combats drugs in our community. 

Then, a presentation from two of our officers detached to the St. Charles County Regional S.W.A.T. Team explaining their role in tactical operations and displayed all the equipment used to handle any situation they encountered. They are a specially trained unit that responds to high-risk situations requiring advanced tactics and specialized equipment. S.W.A.T. assists with critical incidents across the county and supports any agency needing a tactical response to protect public safety.

We finished with a special visit from K9 Winnie. As a therapy K9, Winnie’s calm presence, gentle cuddles and love for tummy rubs have brightened the day for countless officers, staff and residents. Whether visiting schools, attending community events or simply offering quiet support inside the department, Winnie plays an important role in promoting wellness and connection to our community.  

Thank you to everyone who attended to continue learning more about the Wentzville Police Department. We’re looking forward to graduation night for Week 8!

I think is so cool. I have seen it in person. All of these military people. May God keep them safe.

They should have what they want. They deserve what they want. Hope they get what they want …

And honestly? We just want Cops and Bobbers.

Join the Wentzville Police and Parks & Recreation departments for a free evening of fishing fun at Rotary Park on Wednesday, May 20, 5-7 p.m. Young anglers will receive one container of bait, a goody bag and a chance to win fun prizes. Also, fishing poles and tackle will be available to check out, while supplies last.

Whether you’re casting a line for the first time or just coming out for the fun, this is one event you’ll definitely want to reel in.

To learn more about this event, visit wentzvillemo.gov/CopsAndBobbers.
