Can we please start ticketing the DMFers who refuse to turn their headlights on in the rain?
Leather Reins and Tall Timber Dr is a good area to start. There’s a stop sign at Tall Timber Dr, but I’ve almost been hit several times by those that don’t stop.

From community engagement programs and specialized training to modern equipment and strategic partnerships, the men and women of the Wentzville Police Department are dedicated to serving with integrity, professionalism and pride.

April Employee of the Month: Officer Childers
We’re proud to recognize Officer Childers as the Wentzville Police Department’s April Employee of the Month.
While on duty but out of the City of Wentzville, Officer Childers witnessed a Richmond Heights officer involved in a dangerous and rapidly escalating encounter with a combative subject near I-64 and Brentwood Boulevard. The individual was holding a four-foot metal rod and had taken an aggressive stance towards the officer. Without hesitation, Officer Childers stopped to assist. Despite being outside of Wentzville’s jurisdiction, he immediately helped the Richmond Heights officer. Together, they were able to safely bring the situation under control and take the subject into custody. Officer Childers’ decisive actions, courage and professionalism exemplify the values of our department and the law enforcement profession. His willingness to step in and protect others—regardless of uniform or jurisdiction—is a true reflection of professional service.
Thank you, Officer Childers, for going above and beyond.
